“Recognizing the vulnerability of the dialysis community to COVID-19 and the importance of optimal nutritional support, the Vidafuel board made a decision to enact this patient support program and give back to the community which we serve,” says Bette Parolini, founder and CEO of Vidafuel Empowering Nutrition. “We have seen first-hand the impact proper nutrition can have on these patients. We feel a responsibility to make it as accessible as possible during this time of increased risk and need.”

Adequate protein intake is critical for dialysis patients in boosting their immune systems and increasing strength to ward off infection and viruses. Furthermore, going to the grocery store is of great concern right now and shelf stable, kidney-friendly protein is in short supply.

In just a two-ounce serving, the Vidafuel Wellness Protein drink delivers 16 grams of high quality, complete protein with immune boosting essential amino acids. The product is shelf stable, renal-diet compliant with low sugar, phosphorus, potassium and sodium and without artificial sweeteners or coloring. The two-ounce serving is economical and easy to ingest, while the flavor profile is light and good tasting. Dietitians and social workers can request the free Wellness Protein for patients who are in most need, either financially or health wise, by submitting a request form at Patient Support Program. 

“Our investor partners have contributed to this Patient Support Program and are helping us in providing this much needed nutrition to dialysis patients,” continues Ms. Parolini. 

Vidafuel is a consumer health company creating the next generation of nutritional therapy products.
