Nutrigen

Iron supplement

Toddlers are more prone to iron deficiency as they often consume milk and iron-poor foods. Nutritional Iron Deficiency may cause Iron Deficiency and may impair children’s learning abilities.

Nutrigen Ferromixin Sprinkles contains 12.5 mg iron per sachet, which equals to the amount recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for children 6-24 months of age.

Nutrigen Ferromixin Sprinkles is user-friendly; it simply needs to be mixed with semi-solid foods and served. Encapsulated iron prevents the interaction of iron with other ingredients in foods and improves its bioavailability. Mixing Nutrigen Ferromixin Sprinkles with foods do not lead to any change in the taste, colour or texture of the foods in which it is added.

Simply pour, mix and serve.
