The Wyeth Nutrition range of products will now be marketed in Sri Lanka through George Steuart Health Ltd., (GSH) the company announced recently.

Wyeth Nutrition, a global leader in child nutrition, has sought representation through the most acclaimed distributors worldwide. The company has now partnered with GSH to market and distribute its child nutrition products in Sri Lanka; a range which was formerly marketed by GSH in the late ’80s.

Over the past 100 years, Wyeth Nutrition has focused on enhancing the quality of life of children in the first 1000 days, through high quality, innovative and science-proven nutrition. The research centre of Wyeth Nutrition has embarked on several research-based projects, to better understand and advance the global nutrition science, aiming at continuous improvement of future product development.

Proper nutrition is fundamental to a child’s continued health, from birth through adulthood. Good nutrition during the first three years of life is vital for healthy growth and development, particularly due to its role in lowering morbidity and mortality, reducing the risk of chronic disease throughout their life span and promoting regular mental and physical development.

‘S-26 Gold Progress 3’ and ‘S-26 Gold Promise 4’ milk formulae are formulated for children aged one to three years and three to five years respectively. Through scientific research, world-class manufacturing and product safety standards, Wyeth Nutrition aims to deliver scientifically sound solutions that offer parents confidence to help nourish children.

“We are very pleased to have partnered with George Steuart Health to bring Wyeth Nutrition products back into Sri Lanka. Their deep expertise in the medical, healthcare and nutrition fields will help us build our brands such as ‘S-26 Gold Progress 3’ and ‘S-26 Gold Promise 4’ in the most professional and responsible way. It is indeed an exciting journey ahead,” said Wyeth Nutrition Zone AOA Category Lead Gina Dobles.
