Zusammenfassung der Studie

In cases of malnutrition, dietary supplements are given as standard treatment. Since these do not always work optimally or are not well tolerated, we want to test in this study whether digestive pancreatic enzymes can help improve the absorption of dietary supplements and make them better tolerated.
