Nutrition Research
The Enrich Plus Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) food fortifier has been developed based on extensive research in the field of nutrition and food fortification. Below is a selection of articles and peer reviewed journal abstracts showing strong evidence for the need for protein fortification as a means of preserving muscle mass in both hospitalised patients and elderly individuals with compromised nutritional intakes. Research shows it is vital to supplement our dietary intakes of high quality protein as we age to help preserve muscle mass and function thereby maintaining quality of life.
