Medical nutrition produced in the Netherlands
Focused on quality of life, developed on a scientific foundation
Our vision
Medical nutrition for life
Nuvante develops medical nutrition with careful consideration for what patients need in their daily lives. Tolerance, personal autonomy and quality of life are at the heart of our approach, with the aim of providing support that is person-centred, expert and future-ready.
Collaboration with healthcare professionals, specialists and partners forms the foundation of our approach. By combining knowledge and experience, we create solutions that better meet the needs of patients and those around them. Sustainability is an important guiding principle throughout. Nuvante strives to provide care and support that deliver value today while remaining responsible for the future.
Inspired by science
No single ingredient makes the difference. The combination does.
The strength of our nutritionally complete tube-feeding formulas lies in the way different nutrients work together. We combine various sources of protein, carbohydrates, fats and dietary fibre. Each ingredient is carefully selected based on its nutritional and functional properties.
We look beyond the nutritional information on the label, considering the role each ingredient plays within the product’s overall composition. This approach reflects insights from scientific literature on the food matrix, with a focus on the structure and interrelationships of ingredients and the interactions between nutrients within and across them. A selection of relevant publications can be found at the bottom of this page.
The vision behind Nuvante
Focused on tolerance and everyday use
In everyday clinical practice, enteral nutrition is not always well tolerated. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as reflux, nausea, vomiting and reduced tolerance are common among people who depend on tube feeding over the long term. That is why our focus extends beyond nutritional completeness to how nutrition is tolerated and processed by the body.
Our formulas contain fibres that remain within their original cellular structure as much as possible. This reflects an approach centred on food structures and microbial interactions within the gastrointestinal tract. When developing our formulas, we consider factors including gastrointestinal tolerance, fibre structures, viscosity, osmolarity, the food matrix and practical usability.

Bringing science and practice together
Nuvante takes a scientific approach centred on tolerance. In pursuing this, we look beyond individual nutrients to the relationships and structures of ingredients and the way nutrients interact within the overall food matrix.
We combine current scientific insights with the practical experience of dietitians, physicians and other healthcare professionals. In this way, we aim to develop medical nutrition with care, supporting comfort, everyday usability and quality of life.
Our approach to sustainability
Smart packaging for everyday care
Nuvante develops packaging solutions that help reduce material use and plastic waste. Our innovative packaging is designed to require fewer accessories, improve efficiency in everyday care, enhance ease of use and reduce waste. In this way, we combine innovation in enteral nutrition with a future-focused approach to sustainability.
For people and the planet
Sustainability at every step
We believe that high-quality medical nutrition can go hand in hand with responsibility for people and the planet. That is why we choose plant-based ingredients wherever possible.
For the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA in our medical nutrition, Nuvante uses algal oil from Arctic Blue, a specialised Dutch supplier of plant-based omega-3. Algae are the original source of these fatty acids in the marine food chain: fish obtain DHA and EPA through their diet.
Sourcing omega-3 directly from algae provides a plant-based alternative to fish oil that reflects our vision for future-focused medical nutrition.
