NEED products can provide optimal nutrition for the disadvantaged whose nutritional needs are continually compromised.

  • The NEED range of products contain high levels of whey protein
  • Scientifically proven to be the most easily digested and absorbed by the body
  • The disadvantaged sector’s protein needs are higher than the general population due to poor and irregular eating habits
  • They consume foods that are low in cost and nutritive value to satisfy hunger.

This is where the NEED range is different to any other products out there, they are designed to improve the health status of this group as they may assist in lowering their glycaemic load and therefore lowering their insulin levels. Sustained high insulin levels leads to insulin resistance, which is linked to many metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and diseases of the cardiovascular system. These diseases place enormous strain on our health system and cost the community many millions of dollars yearly.

Testimonials

  • "I've been living on the streets for nearly two years now, so I feel I have enough experience to be able to speak for most homeless people. It's easy to become homeless but very difficult to escape. The main difficulties are finding somewhere safe to sleep, and keeping healthy which is especially important when you're sleeping in the cold night air every night. I started on the road to recovery by drinking protein drinks to improve my health. However the drinks I had were formulated for the needs of athletes, not the homeless. The protein drinks played a large part in increasing my motivation to fix my situation. Now I have a casual job which has greatly improved my quality of life and allowed me to be self-sufficient. I now feel like I'm on the right track."

  • "When I was 15 years old I spent 2 weeks on the streets. Most times I was reliant on peoples generosity and more often than not it was in the form of food and wasn't necessarily a healthy snack. Although I wasn't on the streets for too long I could still see how someone's health could deteriorate quite quickly which in turn would affect their ability to get back on their feet. It's easy to see the impact of something like Need Nutrition as it starts at the foundation and provides the proper nutrients for a healthy lifestyle and in turn increasing the chances of rehabilitation for those who are homeless. Need nutrition will change peoples lives for the better."
