- The third formula from the alliance of these 100% Spanish companies at the forefront of innovation.
- The product will be available as Food for Special Medical Uses, funded by the NHS.
CAPSA FOOD, a leading company in the food sector and Cantabria Labs Nutrición Médica, a pharmaceutical laboratory expert in clinical nutrition, launch their third joint development of the NMCLA (Central Lechera Asturiana Medical Nutrition) line consisting of different complete liquid diets aimed at people with a higher nutrient requirement.
The new NMCLA HIGH PRO complete diet is especially indicated for malnourished patients or those at risk of malnutrition who need extra energy and protein supply.
NMCLA HIGH PRO has a pleasant vanilla flavour to facilitate tolerance and adherence to patient treatment and is gluten- and lactose-free. NMCLA HIGH PRO is indicated for people with pathologies that present nutritional alterations and/or changes in nutritional status or malnutrition.
“With the launch of this new solution for patients with special medical needs, CAPSA FOOD and Cantabria Labs continue to be faithful to their commitment to developing products to improve people’s quality of life,” commented Susana Rodríguez, CEO of the pharmaceutical laboratory.
“We are continuing to take steps to drive further this alliance that began in 2018 and which saw the light of day with its first product in May 2019. We firmly believe that this alliance can help improve patients with different pathologies and diseases thanks to these diets,” added José Armando Tellado, General Director of CAPSA FOOD.
Spanish companies’ commitment to the environment
Beyond its innovative composition, the NMCLA line reflects CAPSA FOOD and Cantabria Labs Nutrition Medical’s shared values in their commitment to health care and the environment. Therefore, this product is presented in a container that adapts to the European Parliament directive on reducing the environmental impact of certain plastic products. All products in the NMCLA range (NMCLA DIABET, NMCLA MCTPRO and NMCLA HIGH PRO) have a recyclable cardboard container, derived from sustainable forest management, with less environmental impact. The carton format also guarantees the optimum stability of the product.
