In the field of clinical nutrition, there is a growing need for targeted, safe, and effective formulations designed for individuals with specific nutritional requirements resulting from diseases, metabolic disorders, or particular medical conditions.
Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMPs) represent the most advanced response to these needs, a regulatory category positioned between pharmaceuticals and conventional foods, offering significant clinical and market potential.
What are FSMPs?
FSMPs are products intended for patients whose dietary needs cannot be adequately met through a normal diet alone. They are specially formulated foods designed for the nutritional management of diseases, disorders, or specific medical conditions and must be used under medical supervision.
What are the formulation advantages?
- Highly targeted and customisable composition
- Strong scientific and commercial value
- Premium and specialised market positioning
- Access to dedicated channels (hospital pharmacies, clinical nutrition, reimbursement pathways)
