In this 3-minute video case study, Dr Steven Pearse-Danker, GP Partner at Stafford Medical Group, details the experiences of his 87-year-old mother who was living with reduced muscle strength and struggling to live independently. Dr Pearse-Danker explains his reasons for prescribing Ensure Plus Advance, and outlines the significant impact it had on Mrs Pearse's strength, quality of life and independence.
Ensure Plus Advance had a positive impact on patient outcomes:
“The reason I chose Ensure Plus Advance was because I knew that it contained HMB*, which I was aware had particular benefit when building up muscle strength…
… She became more active, she started cooking her own meals… and it improved her confidence.”
