THE PROBLEM
Certain populations are in need of not just vitamins and minerals, but the energy-rich substances that are missing from their diets. Essential fatty acids are needed for children ages 6 to 24 months (and pregnant and lactating women (PLW)) to provide them adequate caloric intake. Even food aid does not always contain the adequate levels of micronutrients and energy-rich nutrients to meet the needs of these two groups.
THE SOLUTION
A class of lipid-based nutritional supplements mixed in small doses with micronutrients is offered as a preventative mechanism for avoiding severe or moderate acute malnutrition in food insecure populations. The pastes are termed 'lipid‐based' because most of the energy provided by these products is from lipids (fats). All LNS provide a range of vitamins and minerals, but unlike most other micronutrient supplements, LNS also provide energy, protein and essential fatty acids.
Made in the U.S.
Availale in SQ (small quantity rations for children 6 months and older) and MQ (medium quantity rations).
