KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 16, 2017 — Abbott Malaysia has today introduced PediaSure® Honey, a new flavour of the nutritional supplement that provides complete nutrition for children.
Recognising that proper nutrition is important for a child’s optimal growth and development, Abbott is committed to providing parents with a complete nutritional supplement to ensure that their child’s nutrient requirements are met.
“According to the South East Asian Nutrition Surveys (SEANUTS), 35 percent of urban children in Malaysia did not meet the energy recommendations, while nearly half of them did not achieve the calcium and vitamin D recommendations. These are some of the essential nutrients that are vital in supporting optimal growth and development during the important childhood period, as well as boosting children’s immune system,” shared Associate Professor Dr Muhammad Yazid Jalaludin, Head of Department of Paediatrics, University of Malaya, and Consultant Paediatrician & Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist, University Malaya Medical Centre.
He added, “With the start of Ramadan around the corner, Muslim parents should ensure that their children’s nutritional intake is not compromised, as it plays an important role in their growth development. Parents need to keep in mind that they should always provide their children with complete and balanced nutrition to ensure that they grow well.”
“A paediatric nutrition supplement should be nutritionally complete to support optimal growth development in children, and PediaSure® meets these criteria with a formula that includes the right combination of nutrients in the appropriate amount,” said Dr Low Yen Ling, Research & Development Director, Abbott Research and Development Asia Pacific Center.
She continued, “PediaSure® is scientifically formulated with more than 25 key nutrients to help children improve their height and weight, and support their natural defense system. With PediaSure®, parents are also able to ensure that the nutritional gap in their diet is bridged, and help them achieve the Recommended Nutrient Intakes for Malaysia.”
