India, 15th January 2024: Danone India, with its mission ‘to bring health through food to as
many people as possible, has taken a significant leap in strengthening its toddler nutrition
range with the national launch of AptaGrow. AptaGrow addresses the nutrition requirement
of children in the age group of 3-6 years with 37 nutrients that contains a unique blend of
prebiotics which help in better absorption of vital nutrients essential to support growth, brain
development and immunity.
AptaGrow has 100% Milk Protein and Calcium to support height gain, Vitamin A, C, D to
support immune health and DHA, Iron, Folic Acid & Iodine to support brain development,
while the unique blend of prebiotics supports absorption of the essential nutrients. This low-
fat, chocolate/vanilla flavored drink serves as an ideal choice for promoting healthy growth
and overall development in children.
AptaGrow stands as a testament to Danone’s commitment towards raising awareness about
the importance of providing adequate nutrition, particularly during a child’s foundation years.
Mr. Sriram Padmanabhan, Marketing Director, Danone India said,”At Danone, we believe in
bringing health through food to as many people as possible. It is important to have the right
foundation in the early years of child’s growth. While all mothers yearn to give the best
nutrition for their children, it is important for the nutrition to be well absorbed. Based on an
independent survey, 69% of mothers felt their children were not growing as per their
expectation and 73% believed that poor absorption of nutrients results in poor growth.
Keeping this in mind, we are launching AptaGrow which is scientifically designed. It provides
37 vital nutrients that has a unique blend of prebiotics which help in nutrient absorption and
support child’s growth needs.
The brand has also introduced a first of its kind tool – Aptagrow Growth Chakra, to help
mothers measure and understand her child’s holistic growth needs. This tool not only
measures the child’s height, weight but also immunity, brain development and overall well-
being. Mothers will be provided with a FREE personalized diet plan to address specific growth
needs.
Danone invites parents, caregivers, and partners to join its mission in fostering a healthier
India. With its holistic approach towards providing adequate nutrition requirements, the
company aspires to be accessible to every child across the country, ensuring no child is left
behind in receiving essential nutrition during their formative years.
