Hello, no need of additional food supplements. Provide plenty of green leafy vegetables and fruits, eggs and fish in addition to nutrious protein rich foods.

Well supplements alone will not improve his appetite.
For What purpose or symptoms are u asking for a supplement.
If patient has uncontrolled BP and Sugar, u need to evaluate complete metabolic profile and various organ functions including kidney, liver and heart.. coz all of these affect patient's appetite.
And accordingly only we give treatment and supplements (if needed)
