The NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) Quality Standard on Nutrition Support in Adults, recognizes that ONS is clinically effective way to manage disease-related malnutrition. It is important that nutrition support goes beyond just providing insufficient calories and looks to provide all the relevant nutrients that should be contained in a nutritionally complete diet. A management care plan aims to provide that and identifies condition insufficient circumstances and associated needs linked to nutrition support requirements Prohance, a balanced nutritional energy supplement powder is marketed by the 'Classic' team of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
