Their Story
In a world where healthcare providers are preoccupied with obesity, there is little focus on those people who are losing or struggling to maintain a healthy weight.
Anyone that works in the care sector will know that malnutrition affecting the senior population is an ever-growing concern. However, the problem is bigger than that and it is not just confined to a certain demographic or sector. It can have an impact on the lives of anyone.
Nuvu Life's story is simple; their shared experiences have taught them that there are not enough products for people to turn to if they or a loved one needs to gain or maintain weight. Their aim is to create functional, nutrient-rich products specifically for people who battle to keep weight on.
- It may be that you or someone you know are worried about an elderly relative who seems to eat well but is still losing weight.
- It could be that you or someone you know is suffering or recovering from an illness and requires extra sustenance.
- It might be that you or someone you know suffers from dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and getting the nourishment required is proving difficult.
