Nestlé Health Science is dedicated to prioritizing optimal nutrition for patients, supporting them in maintaining a high quality of life. Leveraging over 50 years of experience in medical nutrition, we introduce our nature inspired Compleat® range, specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of paediatric and adult patients requiring enteral nutrition or/and oral nutritional supplementation.
Compleat® provides reliable and complete nutritional solutions made with familiar food ingredients and plant protein options to increase patient satisfaction while meeting their nutritional needs and dietary preferences.
A journey inspired by nature
We are dedicated to paving the path for patients who rely on enteral nutrition (EN) or oral nutritional supplementation (ONS), and their caregivers, to achieve the best possible quality of life on their unique journey.
At Nestlé Health Science, we recognise the evolving preferences of patients and caregivers. They are increasingly seeking familiar food ingredients and plant-based alternatives to traditional standard formulas. This shift is propelled by an understanding of the advantages of familar food ingredients and preferences, a desire to minimize potential intolerances sometimes associated with standard formulas, and a quest to reintroduce a sense of normalcy to their dietary regimens.
We understand this growing demand and we are committed to putting patients' health and preferences at the centre of our offering. That's why we have combined our expertise in nutrition and scientific innovation with the richness of familiar food ingredients and plant protein options to provide nature inspired medical nutrition for patients.

Innovating while caring
Compleat®: Better for the planet
In our commitment to help create an ecosustainable future, we are drawing inspiration
from nature. We craft medical nutrition solutions that benefit patients while caring for the environment.
Compleat® exemplifies this pledge, offering a variety of nutritional options containing plant
ingredients.
To minimize our ecological impact, we prioritise reducing greenhouse gas emissions by producing Compleat®
formulas in a factory that uses 100% renewable energy – 62% wind energy and 38% Certified Guarantees of Origin –
contributing to a cleaner planet.
All our enteral feeding formulas come in SmartFlex® packaging designed to be recyclable.
Conscious of our materials, we’ve designed our SmartFlex® bottles with recyclable materials. This is only one step further in our journey to improve the sustainability of our Compleat® SmartFlex® product: from 2024 one will make our SmartFlex® packaging lighter by decreasing the weight of plastic per bottle.
Compleat® makes a difference in patients’ lives.
Allysa, gold medal Paratriathlete and World Champion, chooses Compleat® to fullfill her nutritional goals. Having experienced prior issues with nutrition, she successfully switched to tube feeding. Now, Compleat® empowers her everyday.
One more story comes from a mother of a boy diagnosed with autism & ARFID*. Switching to the
SmartFlex® bottle feeding gave her son more freedom during his school days. The innovative SimpLink™
technique brought feeding time for him from 1 hour to less than 10 minutes.
