Complan powder, sweet, made up with skimmed milk

Complan is a powdered nutritional drink mix. The figures here describe the sweet powder made up with skimmed milk according to the packet directions, rather than the dry powder. The prepared drink provides carbohydrate, protein and fat, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 18g of carbohydrate, including 13g of sugars, 6.1g of protein and 216mg of calcium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The sugar figure includes sugars from the milk as well as the powder; it does not show added sugars separately. For people monitoring sugar or energy intake, the amount of prepared drink consumed is relevant. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
