A SPRINKLE OF NUTRITIONAL MAGIC FOR BABIES AND INFANTS
The first flavour-free vitamin food sprinkle for children
Nutrigen, a brand new range of nutritional supplements for children is launching its first products to the UK; providing parents with a fresh approach to children’s healthy diet and nutrition.
The products, Vitamixin and Ferromixin, contain scientifically proven combinations of vitamins and minerals that have been formulated around a concept of called ‘nutrigenomics’, where the ingredients are designed to adapt to personal nutritional requirements, and can be added straight to food with their unique ‘sprinkle application’.
Both Ferromixin and Vitamixin are one-a-day, so can be incorporated into any daily meal. Easily hidden, full of goodness and with no affect on the flavour, colour, texture or taste of your child’s favourite foods, Nutrigen gives you the nutritional platform needed to get your child ‘well above average.’
Ferromixin Sprinkles sachets contain the Dietary Reference Intake (DRA) of Iron as well as mix of vitamin A, zinc and folic acid to ensure that children receive the nutrients needed to promote healthy blood and developmental growth. Vitamixin, which also contains Iron, is a rounded nutritional supplement containing the complete RDA of 10 vitamins and 4 minerals that help sustain energy levels, growth, blood health and immunity.
Vitamixin (£6.99 for box of 30 sachets) and Ferromixin (£4.99 for box of 30 sachets) are available from The Nutri Centre and all good health food stores and pharmacies. Nutrigen is also available on prescription, on request from your GP.
