Nutrition and Protein Drinks for Seniors and Small Eaters

Protein is crucial for a healthy body and building muscle mass, especially as we age, when protein requirements increase. In Denmark, health authorities recommend that everyone over 65 years of age consumes enough protein, which means between 1.1-1.3 g of protein per kilogram per day. For instance, a person weighing 60 kg should intake 66-78 g of protein daily.

For many seniors, achieving this intake is easier said than done, as aging can bring physical, psychological, and other health challenges that make meeting daily protein needs difficult.

For example, illness or surgeries might lead to difficulty eating, or reduced appetite. Additionally, cooking at home might become a significant challenge due to arthritis or pain.

Fortunately, there is an easy way to ensure you meet your daily protein and nutrition needs. We offer both protein powder and nutritional supplements to help prevent weight loss and undernutrition.

Achieve a Healthier Lifestyle with Protein Supplements and Nutritional Drinks

The selection on this page is primarily for seniors or small eaters who need protein supplementation or other forms of dietary or energy enrichment. You will find:

- Flavored protein powder to make tasty protein drinks - Flavorless and clear protein powder and energy enrichment, which can be added to food and drinks

Flavored protein drinks serve as a small standalone snack and simply mix with milk or water and shake in a shaker.

The flavorless variants can be added to both hot and cold beverages, as well as warm and cold meals. They dissolve easily and are nearly invisible, ensuring they don't affect taste or texture.

Please note that all protein and energy enrichments offered on this page are intended as a supplement to a regular diet and not as standalone meals.

Atpro 200 protein powder is one of our most popular options. You can easily add this powder to a cup of coffee or a glass of juice. Here's how:

- Add 8 g of Atpro protein powder and mix it with liquid to create a protein-rich drink.

What Type of Nutritional Supplement Should I Choose?

Our range of nutritional supplements can be divided into three categories:

- Protein powder - Energy enrichment – dietary supplements with carbohydrates - Nutritional supplements with both carbohydrates and protein

Protein is vital for the building and maintenance of cells and tissues in the body, playing a crucial role in the immune system. The need for protein increases with age as the body naturally degenerates, making it especially important for seniors to get enough protein.

Carbohydrates are energy-giving nutrients that primarily fuel the brain and muscles and influence the body's energy metabolism.

Protein deficiency typically manifests as muscle and joint pain, brittle nails and hair, concentration issues, and slow healing. Carbohydrate deficiency primarily shows as headaches, lack of energy, and pronounced fatigue. If you are a small eater, you may lack both and greatly benefit from protein and/or carbohydrate-rich dietary supplements. Remember, it is still important to eat healthily and varied.
