Flavour Creations, a leader in dysphagia management and targeted nutrition, is excited to announce our partnership with Wounds Australia. This collaboration marks a major step forward in wound care, combining innovation, education, and compassion to improve the quality of life for those affected by chronic wounds. Chronic wounds affect over 450,000 Australians and cost the healthcare system more than $6 billion annually. Together, Flavour Creations and Wounds Australia are dedicated to enhancing wound healing outcomes across Australia.
Bernadette Eriksen, CEO and Founder of Flavour Creations, emphasised the importance of a holistic approach to wound care:
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Wounds Australia and supporting their drive for wound awareness and education. Wound care is more than cleaning and dressing; it’s about nourishing the body. Nutrition is a crucial aspect of prevention and healing. Through our partnership with Wounds Australia, we’re ensuring the right nutritional solutions are accessible to those who need them most, supporting their recovery journey.”
Wounds Australia CEO Jeff Antcliff echoed the commitment.
“It has been a delight to work with Flavour Creations to find an innovative new way of reaching Australians living with, or at risk of, chronic wounds,” Mr Antcliff said. “We’re confident that this partnership will help more people heal faster.”
With this announcement Flavour Creations is also proud to introduce Argie Wound Care, a high-protein, energy-dense supplement drink enriched with micronutrients designed to support the healing of chronic wounds.
Eriksen said, “After witnessing the severe impact of chronic wounds for decades, we developed Argie to provide targeted nutritional support that makes a real difference in the healing process. The name ‘Argie’ is a play on its key ingredient, L-Arginine, an essential amino acid known for its role in wound healing.”
Packed with L-Arginine, Zinc, and Vitamin C, key nutrients known to support optimal wound healing. Argie Wound Care joins our other science-backed offerings in the Flavour Creation portfolio, including AdVital Complete Nutrition and Recover Protein Drinks, aimed at promoting wound recovery.
Flavour Creations is committed to amplifying the Be Wound Aware campaign by educating both healthcare professionals and patients on the critical role of nutrition in wound care. As part of this commitment, we’ll feature the Be Wound Aware initiative across Argie Wound Care packaging and marketing. Additionally, to support Wounds Australia research and educational resources, Flavour Creations will make a donation for every can of Argie Wound Care sold.
With a broad market reach spanning hospital, aged care homes, pharmacies, and healthcare professionals, this partnership will ensure more people understand the essential role nutrition plays in wound prevention, management, and healing.
