Your supplements, day to day.
A few simple habits to take them properly, avoid getting tired of them and get the full benefit.
Taking them properly.
In addition to meals
Supplements are added to your meals, they do not replace them. Ideally, take them between meals, so they don’t spoil your appetite.
At your own pace
Drink slowly, in small sips. A glass or a straw sometimes makes it more pleasant.
Every day
It is regularity, throughout the recommended period, that makes the difference.
At room temperature or well chilled.
To suit your taste
We prefer them at room temperature. Others like them well chilled, straight from the fridge: it is all a matter of taste.
Before opening
Store them at room temperature, in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
After opening
Close the product again, put it in the fridge and consume it within the time shown on the packaging, usually 24 hours.
Not getting tired of them.
Change flavour
Alternate flavours from one day to the next. Delical Concentré comes in eight flavours.
Change texture
Drink, creamy dessert, stirred dessert, compote, biscuit, velvety soup: the Delical range lets you vary what you take at different times of the day.
Cook with them
Mon Concentré and the Mon Mix powders enrich your savoury and sweet dishes without changing their taste.
On the move.
Take them with you
Bottles and cartons slip easily into a bag. Take enough products for the whole trip.
On a plane
Check with the airline. A letter from your doctor can make it easier to get through security with your supplements in the cabin.
In hospital or in a care home
Tell the team that you take supplements, with their name and the amount per day.
