Clinical Nutrition FontActive

In order to wake up in the morning and live a normal life - learn, work, travel, and enjoy - each of us needs to eat. It is from food that we derive the energy for all activities and the building blocks for our bodies.


We are all made up of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. From these, like small bricks, the walls of cells and "tools" for transporting oxygen and nutrients, removing waste, building new cells, maintaining communication between different organs and systems, and more are constructed.


To obtain all these valuable substances and new energy, our body must digest food. That is, break it down into components it can absorb. The quality of food is also influenced by the cooking process - thermal processing or providing food in a liquid or semi-liquid form further facilitates the digestion process.


Food, as a source of energy and nutrients, should also help a person fight diseases. One of the prevalent diseases posing a challenge to humanity is cancer. According to statistics, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It is a terrible and dangerous disease that requires the consolidation of all efforts from both the individual and the treating physician. Because a person's body needs to sustain life, create means to destroy tumors, repair damage inflicted by the tumor, and use aggressive treatment methods such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The doctor and the patient are faced with a significant challenge - to choose a diet that provides ample energy is easily digestible, maximally beneficial, and maintains the desire to eat.


Based on professional recommendations, specialized medical nutrition FontActiv was developed. It is produced in Spain by the Grand Fountain company. These are protein-based mixtures that can be used as primary nutrition or serve as additional nutritional support. They are lactose-free, making them suitable for patients who cannot tolerate whole milk.


FontActiv mixtures are highly calorie-dense, so they can increase the energy value of ready-made meals. In cases of poor appetite, when used as the main source of nutrition, a small amount of the mixture can meet the patient's calorie and nutritional needs.


Chemotherapy can alter a person's sense of taste and cause aversion to familiar foods. Considering these factors, FontActiv beverages have a neutral taste and a mild vanilla aroma that patients tend to prefer.*


For the convenience of patients, the company produces medical nutrition in various forms - dry (powder), cream, and liquid.


The liquid form, available in convenient 200 ml containers, is ready to drink. The packaging indicates the calorie content, protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it easy to calculate the required amount according to the doctor's recommendation.


This is a real source of strength to continue living, which can be accessible in the hospital, at home, at work, or on a stroll.


FontActiv medical nutrition in powder form is quick and easy to prepare - simply dissolve a portion in water to obtain a tasty and nutritious drink. The mixture is packaged in an airtight container with a measuring spoon. The dry form is more cost-effective and allows for longer storage.


The FontActiv product line helps patients, in conjunction with treatment, overcome the disease and return to a full and normal life. Therefore, it is important to remember that the key to recovery at the same level as medications, surgical interventions, or radiation therapy is a specially balanced diet that allows meeting the body's energy, protein, vitamin, and mineral needs.
