The sole purpose of Abbott Nutrition Research and Development is to translate nutrition science into effective products for every stage of life. Our success began with Franklin infant formula first produced in 1925. We hit another benchmark in 1973 with the first scientifically formulated medical nutritional product for adults.

From these beginnings, Abbott Nutrition Research and Development has become a leader in creating nutritionals for infants, children, and adults worldwide. We are also leading the way in producing disease-specific, specialty nutrition for those with diabetes, renal disease, pulmonary disease, malnutrition, cancer, and other conditions.
