India September 14, 2021— Abbott announced the launch of its innovative childhood nutrition solution, the new PediaSure with arginine and natural vitamin K2 to support children's growth and development through proper nutrition.

The lack of a sufficient, varied, and nutritious diet can affect the cognitive development of a child, interfere with learning, and weaken their immune system. The consequence is largely irreversible if not corrected during early years of life. While genetics determine the potential for bone lengthening, environmental factors, especially nutrition, help children reach their full height potential regardless of geographic or cultural differences.

Backed by strong science, with over 20 clinical studies and more than 30 years of research, PediaSure has proven to be a formula that provides complete and balanced nutrition, including 37 essential nutrients needed for growth in children. The scientifically tested benefits of PediaSure promote adequate growth and, together with the consumption of a varied diet, a better nutritional status associated with fewer sick days and increased physical activity in children. The new formulation with arginine and natural vitamin K2 will further support bone growth and promote catch-up growth in early childhood.
