The Nupo history

The history of Nupo and our products dates back to 1981.

The name “Nupo” is a combination of the words; Nutritional Power.

Nupo was developed in Denmark at Hvidovre Hospital by leading obesity scientist Dr. Flemming Quaade with the purpose of offering a diet that provided the body all the nutrients it needs, but with a minimum number of calories.

The Company is located in Copenhagen, and works with development, production, marketing and sales for both the Danish and international markets.
