Celebrating 50 Years of Fresubin

This year marks a major milestone in our company’s history: the 50th anniversary of Fresubin®. What began as a clinical solution in 1975 has grown into a trusted and comprehensive enteral nutrition product brand for patients around the world.

Nutrition is a topic that surrounds us every day. While we often talk about obesity and weight loss diets, we actually overlook that the opposite, meaning malnutrition or undernutrition, can be as detrimental. We speak of malnutrition when the body is not provided with enough nutrients, such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, which are essential for maintaining all vital body functions.

When our nutritional status is not optimal, the body becomes less resilient in facing challenges like illness, colds, or infections. Improving our nutritional status will therefore support and protect our body.
