Importance of growing up milk

Growing-up milk provides the right quality and quantity of nutrients during your child’s intense period of growth:

  • It is fortified with vitamins and minerals (vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, iodine, zinc) to support toddlers’ specific needs.
  • It contains a unique blend of prebiotics to support the immune system. J Prebiotic fibres reduce the likelihood of constipation.
  • It contains LCPs, a type of healthy fats essential for brain and visual development.

Growing-up milk provides a wide range of benefits to fit into a healthy diet, as opposed to adult’s milk which is not recommended for your child younger than 6 years as it contains higher levels of sodium and proteins, lower levels of some minerals & vitamins and no fibres. On top, it lacks essential fatty acids that are key for healthy brain development.



Importance of Growing Up Milk in the toddler’s diet

Growing Up Milks are formulated to fit into a healthy diet and deliver nutrients that help fill in the nutrition gaps in the diet.

Growing Up Milk also nurtures toddler’s specific needs through fortified content such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, iron and zinc.

Impact of Growing Up Milk on immunity
