First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new ready-to-use nutritional supplement drink designed for people with dysphagia (swallowing problems). Over 28 days, 40 adults who need at least 250 calories per day from a milkshake-style supplement will take the drink daily. Researchers will check how well patients tolerate it, how much they drink, and if they like it, using questionnaires about stomach symptoms and consumption.
