Danone India, with its mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible, entered into the health drink category for children with the launch of AptaGrow.

In India, young children suffer from the dual burden of under and over-nutrition leading to key growth concerns. A recent survey conducted by Momspresso with 1,200 urban mothers indicated that 80 percent of mothers were concerned about their child’s growth while 69 percent felt their child is not growing up to their expectations. 73 percent of mothers believed that poor absorption of nutrients results in poor growth. The top 3 concerns that emerged from the survey were height, muscle growth, and brain development.

AptaGrow is tailored to meet the nutritional needs of growing Indian children. It has 100 percent milk protein and calcium to support height gain, Prebiotics, and Vitamin A, C, D to support immune health, and DHA, iron, folic acid, and iodine to support brain development. This low-fat drink helps in healthy growth in kids which makes this tasty chocolate/vanilla flavored nutritious health drink the perfect choice.

Speaking at the launch, Himanshu Bakshi, Managing Director, Danone India said, “At Danone, our goal is to innovate and offer products and services that meet the nutritional needs and expectations of consumers at every stage of life. With this launch, we endeavor to support healthy eating and drinking habits from an early age since these are the foundation years that contribute to health later in life.
