Optimal Essentials has been providing products for seniors for over 15 years. Our large range of natural food-based health powders are designed to supplement our client’s normal meals. The products can be taken as shakes or mixed with your meals. Our two key nutrition-based products have specifically been developed in consultation with our nutritionists and dieticians to address common nutrition deficiencies in the elderly.

Complete Nutrition

Optimal Essentials Complete Nutrition is a formulated meal replacement. One serve provides all the essential macro and micronutrients required for a nutritionally balanced and complete meal. While its most important to eat a healthy, balanced diet from a wide variety of food sources, we recognise that it’s not always easy to do this. Optimal Essentials Complete Nutrition can help bridge the dietary gap, by supplementing your dietary intake with a nutrient dense shake.

Optimal Essentials Complete Nutrition:

  • Contains min. 50% RDI of all essential micronutrients per serve
  • Sugar Free
  • Corn-syrup Free
  • Naturally Sweetened
  • No artificial colours or flavours
  • Low Sodium

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

 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.
