- Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates occur naturally in starchy foods such as bread, potatoes, sugar, etc., and are the first source of energy for the body. Excess intake is stored mainly in the form of fatty tissue but also in the organs and the muscles. Wate-On has a carbohydrate value equivalent to 12.5%.
- Fats: After carbohydrates these are the secondary source of energy for the body. Wate-On has a fat content of 50%
- Regular, well balanced diet: Wate-On helps to correct dietary imbalances by providing additional viatmins and nutrients and the appetite-stimulating properties encourage regular cating habits.
