India accounts for nearly one-third of the global childhood stunting burden with 40.6 million stunted children
Good nutrition is key to address childhood malnutrition and stunting
The unique formulation of new PediaSure includes 37 nutrients and added casein phosphopeptides (CPPs), which are digested and absorbed faster than whole protein
Peptides, such as CPPs in PediaSure, also help attract key minerals that are important for growth

Bengaluru: Proper nutrition is critical to help children grow and reach their full potential, yet worldwide there are approximately 149 million stunted children below the age of five—and one-third, or 40.6 million, are in India.[i],[ii] Abbott, the global healthcare company, today announced the launch of new PediaSure with Nutri-Pull system to support children’s growth and development. The Nutri-Pull system is a unique combination of ingredients like vitamin K2, vitamin D, vitamin C and casein phosphopeptides (CPPs), which help support catch-up growth amongst children through the absorption of key nutrients.

Malnutrition in children can be caused by insufficient dietary intake, suboptimal nutrient absorption, or inefficient utilization of nutrients, and may result in both short- and long-term negative health outcomes. Undernutrition can take on many forms including stunting (low height-for-age), underweight (low weight-for-age) and wasting (low weight-for-height). Stunting has long-term effects on both individuals and societies, including poor cognition and educational achievement, lost productivity, and negative impacts on overall health. It can prevent children from reaching their full potential in life.

Nutrition plays a crucial role in addressing malnutrition and stunting challenges. Addressing undernutrition early can help mitigate growth issues and ensure children reach their full developmental capacity. If a child’s nutritional intake is falling short, a doctor or a registered dietitian can provide helpful tips to improve their diet. A nutritional supplement drink, like PediaSure, can also help.
