Optimal Essentials have been providing products to seniors for over 15 years. Our large range of natural food-based health powders are designed to supplement our client's diet. The products can be taken as shakes or mixed with your meals.
Optimal Essentials Protein Plus – Pharma for Seniors and Complete Nutrition – Pharma have been developed in consultation with our nutritionists and dietitians to address common nutritional concerns in seniors.

Eating a balanced diet provides us with the essential nutrients to support good health. As we age it can be harder to eat a healthy diet and an inadequate diet may mean you are not reaching your recommended daily needs.

As Complete Nutrition is a formulated meal replacement and is classified as a food for Special Medical Purposes under the FSANZ Code Standard 2.9.5, it may be eligible for subsidy through your Home Care Plan, subject to your provider's approval.
