  • Research summary

    The investigational product (IP) Nutricomp® Drink Plus is an Oral Nutritional Supplement (ONS) or sip feed and has been used in most European countries for several years. In the UK it is required by the Advisory Committee for Borderline Substances (ACBS) to evaluate acceptability of the product in local patients. The aim of this study is to access the palatability and tolerance of Nutricomp® Drink Plus to show that it is acceptable for patients in the UK. In other words we want to know what patients think about the taste of this supplement but also if they develop any side effects from drinking it. For example, gastrointestinal side effects.
