Summary
This study looks at how well adults who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition tolerate a high-energy, high-protein nutritional drink. About 25 participants will drink the supplement and report on their digestion and how it tastes. The goal is to see if the drink is easy on the stomach and acceptable to use regularly.
