Is Your Child Growing Well? It Might Be Nutrition, Not Genetics

Is Your Child Growing Well? It Might Be Nutrition, Not Genetics

Did you know that in the first five years of life, 80% of a child’s height growth is determined by nutrition, with only 20% contributed by genetics?1 Yet, a shocking one in five Malaysian children below five years old is stunted.2

 

Nutritional gaps from a poor diet can harm growth, increase illness, and impact your child’s learning and future height. This is where the right nutritional support becomes essential.

 

 

PediaSure: Backed by Science for Catch-Up Growth

PediaSure is scientifically formulated to improve height, weight, and reduce sick days. In fact, 100%* of paediatricians recommend PediaSure for catch-up growth.

 

PediaSure’s complete and balanced nutrition features 38 key nutrients and the unique PeptiGro System (25% Mini Peptides). These Mini Peptides are more rapidly digested and absorbed than whole protein, supporting the absorption of key nutrients for growth3.
