Solace Nutrition (Pawcatuck, CT), a medical nutrition company, has acquired the assets of R-Kane Nutritionals (Burlington, NJ), which specializes in high protein meal replacement solutions for the weight management market. Solace Nutrition makes medical foods and dietary supplements to help individuals manage unique metabolic, nutritional needs, as well as chronic diseases. Its products are designed by healthcare professionals and should be administered under the supervision of medical practitioners. The acquisition of R-Kane Nutritionals offers Solace Nutrition a strategic extension into an adjacent nutrition market.

"R-Kane Nutritionals has a long & rich history of promoting products that help people seeking significant weight loss, including supporting medically-supervised weight loss programs. This acquisition offers Solace growth into an adjacent nutritional management market and allows us to leverage the core competencies that we've developed in manufacturing & distribution over the years to R-Kane customers. Bringing R-Kane Nutritionals into Solace will create synergies and help accelerate growth in both brands," said Thomas Clough, CEO of Solace Nutrition, in a press release.
