Our products are specially designed for Seniors

Optimal Essentials have been providing products to seniors for over 15 years. Our large range of natural food-based health powders are designed to supplement our client’s diet. The products can be taken as shakes or mixed with your meals. 

Optimal Essentials Protein Plus for Seniors and Complete Nutrition have been developed in consultation with our nutritionists and dietitians to address common nutritional concerns in seniors.

Complete Nutrition

Eating a balanced diet provides us with the essential nutrients to support good health.  As we age it can be harder to eat a healthy diet and an inadequate diet may mean you are not reaching your recommended daily needs. 

Complete Nutrition formulated meal replacement differs from similar products on the market because it has no added sugar and is naturally sweetened.

As Complete Nutrition is a formulated meal replacement it is eligible for subsidy through your Home Care Plan.

Complete Nutrition has the same nutritional composition as Ensure and Hospital Grade Sustagen but has been developed without all of the artificial sweeteners and additives.

Protein Powder for Seniors

A diet sufficient in protein is vital for our body as we age. Seniors need the right amount of protein in order to maintain muscle strength, balance, agility and resilience.

Protein acts as a building block for the body and aids in nearly every cell and body process. Whey protein, in particular, is most effective for seniors that are struggling to rebuild muscle. Optimal Essentials Protein shakes for seniors are the perfect way to help fill any nutritional gaps and ensure your protein needs are met. Protein Plus for Seniors is a formulated supplementary food and is eligible for subsidy through your Home Care Plan.
