Nutrition and health
Nutrition for all life stages
Nutrition lies at the very heart of Nestlé. That's why millions of families and individuals all over the world choose our products.
Because our nutritional needs change over our lives, choosing the right nutrition for your health status and life stage is essential. The right nutrition can be transformational for those who need extra support during short- or long-term medical challenges, and it can enhance the quality of life of those who are already healthy.
Nutrition that changes with you
Nestlé supports a lifelong nutrition journey for every individual. This means understanding and meeting the nutritional needs at every life stage. It also means adapting to changes such as those in physical development, aging, health conditions and lifestyle choices along the way. This begins with giving every child a strong nutritional foundation for a balanced and varied diet, and runs through to supporting elderly individuals who are at risk of malnutrition.
Our innovations are driven by the world's largest research and development community in the food and beverage industry, consumer and patient insights, collaboration with a global network of healthcare professionals and partnerships with forward-thinking academic experts. And our commitment to science-based products means that we provide nutritional solutions that can make a real difference in the quality of life of consumers, patients and caregivers.
Early childhood nutrition
Nutrition in early childhood is crucial for healthy growth and development. The types of food children eat in their early years can set them up for a lifetime of good health and help them reach their full potential. It also involves supporting infants and children who may have severe food allergies or other medical conditions.
Nestlé's science-based products address children's specific nutritional needs with a variety of tastes and textures to explore. Discover our age-adapted, nutritious foods that support children’s growth and development, and help them discover the joys of eating.
Growing up and all family nutrition
From the dynamic days of childhood to the demands of family life, every stage brings unique nutritional needs. Young children building skills and stamina, teenagers fueling growth spurts and active lives, and adults balancing energy, wellness, and family meals - our Growing Up and Family Nutrition portfolio meets you where you are. With trusted brands like Bear Brand, Nido, and Orgain, we deliver science-backed goodness in the form of nutritional powders, shakes, milks and cereals tailored for young ones, teens, individuals and families.
Adult nutrition
Throughout adulthood, nutritional needs shift as our bodies and minds change. By understanding and responding to these changes, we can make choices that support lasting health, increased energy, and a vibrant life.
Prioritizing adult nutrition means recognizing the unique demands of each life stage and embracing nutrition that fosters strength, resilience, and wellness. With the right nutritional approach, adults can maintain their health, well-being and vitality at each stage of adulthood.
Vitamins, minerals and supplements
The right nutritional supplements can support individuals at any stage of life. As a global leader in the science of lifestyle nutrition, every one of our products is rooted in science, and rigorously tested to deliver the right results.
We provide a wide range of vitamins, minerals and supplements to help you boost good health or make a positive lifestyle change. No matter your goals, we believe the right nutrition can be life-changing.
Medical nutrition
Our medical nutrition range is built around a simple belief: the right nutrition can be life-changing.
We provide nutritional solutions that support people with certain medical conditions or illnesses to maintain or improve their health. Infants and children with food allergies, children who are tube-fed, critical-care hospital patients, and many more - we create products that help people live their healthiest lives.
We believe nature is the foundation of great nutrition and a healthy life
Feeding a family shouldn't mean trade-offs. We start with nature's best: milk from well-cared-for cows, grains, fruits and vegetables from healthy soils, and use science to protect that goodness all the way to your table.
Three simple ideas guide our work:
1. It starts with nature. We help farmers work with nature, caring for healthy soils, protecting water, supporting biodiversity, and looking after animals.
2. Science helps us protect it. We add the right nutrients for growing bodies, tailor nutrition to each age and stage, and design packaging that keeps food good.
3. And it supports the people behind. We build long-term partnerships, offer training, share know-how, and support the communities we're part of.
Real change takes time. We haven't solved everything, because real change is slow. We'd rather be open about the journey, sharing what we learn as we go, because the more we talk, the more partners we bring along and the more impact we create together. This is a long-term promise: to the farming families we work alongside, and to the natural resources they, and generations after them, will depend on for years to come.
