Nutrament

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A nutritional vitamin drink supplied by Novartis Labs, Nutrament was originally distributed by Mead Johnson & Company, beginning in 1960. Current flavors on the market are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coconut, banana, cappucino, and eggnog. The product is supplied as individual servings in pull-top cans. In official records, it is described as "Nutritionally Complete Food Consisting Principally of Milk Solids, Maltose-Dextrins, Soy Flour, Sucrose." Late in the 1960s, a powdered form was offered for mixing with milk, but that brand registration was not renewed in 1988 and officially expired in 1992, still owned by Mead Johnson.

Mead Johnson also marketed a "dietary supplement" under the same brand in 1985, and registered the brand "Nutrament The Energy and Fitness Drink" in 1996.

Nutrament was purchased from Mead Johnson & Company effective February 13, 2004. Nutrament is a great-tasting source of nutrition for anyone who wants to deliver a peak performance – on the playing field, on the job, or just on the go. Nutrament is currently available at select retail establishments in Florida and New York, and is not available in Health Care Institutions.


Its great, creamy, milkshake taste comes in seven delicious flavors — Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Banana, Coconut, Eggnog, and Dulce de Leche (Milk Caramel)

Its nutritional power comes from 360 calories of energy — provided with a balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat — plus one–third the Daily Value of 24 vitamins and minerals.

Athletes and other busy people also like Nutrament because it's convenient and portable. Anywhere they go, Nutrament can go too — as a satisfying meal replacement or as an extra source of energy.

A 12 fl. oz. can of Nutrament is perfect for breakfast on the run, lunch on the road (or at your desk), a quick supper before evening meetings, or a nutritional recharge before or after sports practice. Nutrament is ideal for filling the nutritional energy gaps in a fast–paced life.
