A METHOD OF PRODUCING THE COMPOSITION

BACKGROUND Technical Field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to nutrient compositions, and more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a nutrient supplement composition, specifically for the geriatric population, and a method of producing the nutrient supplement composition.

Description of the Related Art [0002] Good nutrition is essential for keeping people healthy across their lifespans. Poor dietary habits and lifestyle are the major reasons which fuel non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and certain chronic health problems. A healthier diet can help to reduce the risk of NCDs. Elderly people are more likely to suffer from chronic than acute illnesses. Multiple chronic diseases afflict them such as chronic bronchitis, anemia, bone diseases, high blood pressure, chest pain, kidney problems, digestive disorders, vision problems, diabetes, rheumatism, and depression.

[0003] Healthy eating may help people with chronic diseases or NCDs to manage these conditions and prevent complications. However, an unbalanced diet of elderly people may not fulfill the changing needs of their bodies and continue to lack essential nutrients like protein and fiber. With reduced absorption ability, micronutrient deficiencies (e.g., Iron, Calcium, B12) are also rampant among elderly people.

[0004] The world has been experiencing a demographic shift since the pace of population aging around the world is increasing dramatically. As per the world health organization (WHO) report, between 2015 and 2050, a proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. In about five years, people aged 60 years and older will outnumber children younger than 5 years. In 2019, the number of people aged 60 years and older was about 1 billion. This number will increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. By 2050, 80% of all older population will live in low and middle-income countries. Both increases in the proportion of the elderly people and life expectancy throughout the world may be a hidden burden as this increase, unfortunately, is not a ‘healthy life expectancy.

[0005] The increasing significance of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) burden suggests a need for serious intervention strategies to prevent the NCDs burden for the elderly people. A challenge would be to implement appropriate prevention strategies to halt the growing trend in the NCDs against a background of infectious diseases. For example, in the Covidl9 pandemic, the population above 60 years with or without comorbidities due to NCDs is more likely to be affected. Elderly people experience decreased or no muscle response for the nutrients consumed by dietary means. Hence, nutrition supplements help to realize an ideal quantity of nutrient intake per day.

[0006] Existing nutritional beverage products are limited and expensive and not necessarily with the optimum nutrition and ingredient profile for elderly people. Addressing the nutritional needs of the elderly people in a sustained manner, in a convenient format will help to reduce the gap between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, which can reduce the economic and health care burden of a country.

[0007] Therefore, there arises a need to address the aforementioned technical drawbacks in existing products in satisfying the nutritional needs of the geriatric population.
