Pedia Plus is a specially formulated product for today’s fussy children who don’t easily eat home cooked meals.

The increasing trend of eating more fast foods has worsened this problem tilting the balance of nutrition for the growing child.

Pedia Plus comes with two unique ingredients - Lysine & Turmeric – which has numerous benefits to a child’s health and development. Both these ingredients help improve the child’s appetite and immunity. Pedia Plus also helps increase body weight and enhances bone development. This premium growing up milk powder carries a balanced macro nutrient profile as per the recommended allowance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Pedia Plus also has a potent collection of micro nutrients which aid in the full development of a young girl or boy. Pedia Plus contains a good source of DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and Prebiotics.

With best quality milk sourced directly from New Zealand, Pedia Plus is fortified by a large healthcare company in Indonesia called PT.Soho Industri Pharmasi. Pedia Plus is available in all Supermarkets, leading pharmacies and at Healthguard Pharmacy outlets island-wide too.
