Forteocare Plus by Nutrisens is a food product intended for special medical purposes: a powder that combines milk proteins and collagen peptides. It meets the increased protein needs of older adults and/or malnourished individuals without altering the texture of meals.
Forteocare Plus by Nutrisens is a protein powder to be added to meals, and it is the successor to Forteocare. Its formula now combines milk protein concentrate with collagen peptides, providing 85.6 g of protein per 100 g. It is a food product intended for special medical purposes and is part of our range of nutritional solutions for seniors.
It meets the increased protein needs of older adults and/or those who are malnourished, whether due to a medical condition or muscle wasting. When appetite declines, every meal counts: the powder helps enrich smaller portions without increasing the volume of food to be eaten.
The two protein sources complement each other. Milk proteins provide all the essential amino acids, including leucine; collagen peptides are rich in glycine and proline. The powder disperses easily and mixes without forming lumps.
It can be added to any liquid or solid preparation, hot or cold, sweet or savory: soup, mashed potatoes, compote, dairy products, fruit juice. It does not alter the texture of the dish, allowing the person to stick to their usual recipes.
The powder provides protein but few calories: 39 kcal per scoop. For times when you’re not cooking, we recommend Delical’s HP HC Lactose-Free Dessert Cream, a ready-to-eat, high-protein, high-calorie cream: the powder enriches homemade dishes, while the cream provides energy as a snack.
Directions
Mix one scoop (about 11 g of powder) or more into the dish you’re enriching, adjusting the amount to meet your daily protein needs. As a guide: 2 scoops in a serving of soup (200 to 250 ml), 1 scoop in 100 g of fruit compote, 1 scoop in a glass of fruit juice (200 to 250 ml).

The most common mistake is to put everything into a single dish. It’s better to spread the packets across the three meals and a snack: a dish with too much powder often ends up half-eaten, and the intended dose is then not consumed.
Adding protein isn’t enough if the person isn’t eating enough overall. Weighing the person once a week, at the same time, shows whether the supplementation is working: if weight loss continues, notify the doctor, who may add higher-calorie nutritional supplements.
