What is Cachexia?

Cachexia, or wasting syndrome, involves significant weight and muscle loss often seen in individuals with chronic illnesses such as cancer, COPD, or advanced heart failure. This condition can cause weakness, fatigue, and reduced quality of life. Proper nutritional support is essential to slow muscle loss, improve strength, and enhance overall well-being. With expert care, you can take proactive steps to address cachexia.
