Preferred Label : Gluten-free/Fiber-enriched Compact Nutritional Supplement Drink;
NCIt definition : A gluten-free, calorie-dense, fiber-enriched milkshake-like nutritional supplement
drink containing all essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, as well as
protein, fat and carbohydrates. Upon oral intake, gluten-free, fiber-enriched compact
nutritional supplement drink may aid in the prevention of malnutrition and weight
loss. The drink is provided in a reduced volume (125 ml) but with the same complete

incidence of constipation and/or diarrhea.;
