Loss of appetite

Many people naturally experience a reduction in their appetite as they age. Some medications and illness can also reduce a person’s appetite. A reduced appetite often means less food will be eaten and this can lead to unwanted weight loss.

Ageing also presents another challenge to meeting nutritional needs. While energy requirements may not be as great, requirements for some nutrients such as protein, calcium and vitamin D, actually increase.

If your appetite is poor you may benefit from a nutritional supplement to help you meet your nutritional needs. Sustagen® provides a concentrated source of energy, protein and a full range of the vitamins and minerals the body requires.
