Summary

This study tests four new ready-to-drink nutritional supplements in 100 adults who are malnourished or at risk. Participants take one of the supplements daily for 28 days alongside their usual diet. Researchers track how well people stick with the drink, their nutrient intake, and any stomach discomfort.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
oral nutritional supplement (ONS)
What this could lead to
If successful, these supplements could offer better-tolerated options to help malnourished adults improve their nutrient intake and nutritional status.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term study (100 participants, 28 days) with no blinding or placebo, so results may not apply broadly or show long-term benefits.
