It’s not just how much protein — Let’s Understand Why Protein Quality Matters
When it comes to protein, quantity is only part of the story. The quality of protein matters too. What makes a protein high quality? How well is it digested, absorbed and used by the body? And does it provide the essential amino acids needed to support muscle maintenance, strength and recovery? Understanding these differences can help you make more informed choices about the protein your body gets, especially when nutritional needs are higher.

When Better Nutrition Builds Back Strength: A Cycle Worth Understanding
Managing an illness or recovery period can increase your energy and protein needs, even as low appetite, fatigue or discomfort make eating your daily meals harder. When nutrition falls short, muscle and strength can decline, making everyday activities more demanding and recovery slower. Specialised nutrition can help you through this cycle, providing the nutrition you need for strength, energy and recovery.

Compact Emprana is a specialised Energy-Dense High-Protein (EDHP) nutritional product in a 50 g ready-to-eat paste format. It is designed to provide nutritional support for strength and energy, specifically in individuals with low BMI, severe malnutrition, or low muscle mass.
Compact Emprana is meant for individuals who may have low BMI, severe malnutrition, or low muscle mass requiring high energy intake. A healthcare professional can assess nutritional needs and determine whether it is appropriate as part of an individualised nutritional plan.
Each 50 g sachet of Compact Emprana provides:
It also provides essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A, D, E, C and B-group vitamins.
Each 50 g sachet of Compact Emprana provides approximately 285 kcal, equivalent to an energy density of approximately 5.7 kcal/g. This allows a substantial amount of energy to be provided in a small portion.
Each 50 g sachet of Compact Emprana provides approximately 18 g of protein from a Whey and Peanut protein blend in the ratio 60:40. Whey protein has a DIAAS of 109 and provides all nine essential amino acids (EAAs), including the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine essential for muscle protein synthesis.
DIAAS, or Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score, is a measure used to assess the quality of a protein based on how well the body can digest and use its essential amino acids. A score of 109 indicates that the protein meets or exceeds the reference amino acid requirements used in the assessment.
The appropriate daily intake should be determined based on an individual’s nutritional needs. Please contact your healthcare provider for a nutritional assessment and personalised guidance. The recommended use is 2 sachets of 50 g per day, providing a total of 100 g, or approximately 571 kcal and 36 g of protein.
A glycaemic index of approximately 41 falls within the low-GI range, indicating a relatively gradual rise in blood glucose compared with higher-GI foods.
Compact Emprana provides approximately 285 kcal and 18 g protein in a 50 g ready-to-eat paste format. Its concentrated format allows nutritional support to be provided without requiring a large volume of food.
No. Compact Emprana is a Food for Special Dietary Use intended to provide nutritional support. It is not for medicinal use.
Nutritional requirements vary according to the individual’s condition, dietary intake and energy and protein needs.
