About

WHEN YOU DO MORE FOR LIFE, IT RETRIBUTES WITH MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Prodiet Medical Nutrition researchers develop and market formulas to promote health and well-being for those with specific nutritional needs.

Through nutrition, combined with technology, we seek to transcend physical care and impact the quality of life of our consumers. In this way, we also strengthen stories, feelings, and relationships. Thus, we have developed a complete line of products for the most diverse needs, and we are constantly evolving.

Innovation is our instrument. With it, we explore new ideas, study fresh ingredients and optimize processes. And it was under this same bias that we built a new look. With 14 years in the market, we have achieved a solid structure that has allowed us to grow, break barriers, and transform ourselves into something new. The butterfly, present in our brand, represents the process of construction and continuous evolution. In 2019, we consolidated our bases and spread our wings to fly even higher.

Prodiet Medical Nutrition has industrial partnerships for UHT processes and has its factory, with the latest technologies, to fabricate our powdered foods.


THE PRODIET

Clinical Nutrition is a field of Nutrition that aims to treat various diseases that affect human beings through a therapeutic diet. In addition, it acts to prevent the onset of diseases with a healthy and balanced diet, essential for the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health, and by contributing toward the improvement of the quality of life (1,2).

Every living being requires a diet to survive and reproduce. In doing so, individuals who cannot fully satisfy their nutritional needs with the conventional diet are suitable for Nutritional Therapy (3,4). There are three routes of administration for Nutrition Therapy:

  • Oral (PO) – the change of foods and fluids for diets with a higher protein, carbohydrate and/or fat, mineral, and vitamin content (e.g., provision of snacks and/or oral supplements);
  • Enteral Nutrition (EN) – the supply of calories, proteins, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and fluids through a feeding tube, directly into the digestive tract;
  • Parenteral Nutrition (PN) – supplies calories, amino acids, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and fluids intravenously.

In general, Clinical Nutrition operates on three levels:

  • Outpatient (private or public medical offices, clinics, nursing homes, daycare centers, spas).
  • Hospital (wards, human milk banks, milk kitchens).
  • In-Home.
