Product Overview
Smartfish NutriFriend 1100 is a medical nutrition product designed to address disease-related malnutrition while delivering a clinically significant dose of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Unlike conventional oral nutritional supplements, NutriFriend 1100 is formulated with approximately 90% natural fruit juice (apple, pear, pomegranate, red gooseberry, and passion fruit), providing a palatable alternative for patients with taste fatigue or intolerance to milk-based supplements. The omega-3 fatty acids are sourced from sustainably harvested Norwegian wild fish and delivered in an emulsified form to enhance bioavailability and gastrointestinal tolerance.
Each 200 mL serving delivers 1100 mg of combined EPA and DHA, alongside whey protein and vitamin D3. The formulation is sugar-free, making it suitable for diabetic patients and those requiring glycaemic management. NutriFriend 1100 has been clinically evaluated in oncology populations, where omega-3 supplementation has demonstrated potential benefits in maintaining lean body mass, modulating inflammatory markers, and supporting immune function during chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The product is part of the Smartfish Medical nutrition range, which is endorsed by Norwegian national health reimbursement programmes for hospital patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does NutriFriend 1100 differ from standard fish oil supplements?
NutriFriend 1100 is classified as a Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) under EU Regulation 609/2013, not a dietary supplement. It provides a complete nutritional profile including energy (200 kcal), whey protein, vitamin D3, and 1100 mg EPA+DHA per serving in an emulsified fruit juice format designed for clinical populations. Standard fish oil capsules deliver omega-3 alone without additional macronutrients. The emulsified delivery system in NutriFriend 1100 enhances gastrointestinal tolerance compared to fish oil capsules.
Is NutriFriend 1100 suitable for diabetic patients?
Yes. NutriFriend 1100 is sugar-free and formulated to minimise glycaemic impact. It contains natural fruit sugars at reduced levels compared to standard fruit juices. Healthcare professionals managing diabetic patients should incorporate the carbohydrate content of NutriFriend 1100 into the patient's overall dietary and glycaemic management plan.
Can NutriFriend 1100 be used in enteral feeding?
NutriFriend 1100 is designed for oral consumption only and is not indicated for tube feeding. For enteral omega-3 supplementation, B. Braun offers dedicated enteral nutrition products formulated for tube administration. Consult a dietitian or clinical nutrition specialist for appropriate enteral feeding recommendations.
What is the recommended daily intake?
The recommended intake is typically 1 to 2 servings (200–400 mL) per day, or as directed by a physician or dietitian. Dosage should be individualised based on the patient's nutritional requirements, clinical condition, and overall dietary intake. ESPEN (European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism) guidelines recommend a minimum of 2 g/day EPA+DHA for oncology patients, which can be achieved with 2 daily servings.
Where can I purchase NutriFriend 1100 in Singapore?
NutriFriend 1100 is available through EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies) in Singapore. As an FSMP product, it does not require a prescription but is intended for use under medical supervision. Healthcare institutions can place bulk orders through EMIS for clinical use. Individual patients may purchase directly through the EMIS online store at emis.asia.
