Benefits of PediaSure Chocolate Nutritional Drink Powder
This drink is built to help support the nutritional needs of children who are growing and active. The protein it provides contributes to growth, while the combination of calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K2 helps support healthy bone development. The added prebiotic fibre is intended to support digestive comfort, and the familiar chocolate taste makes it a convenient way to top up daily nutrition when a child's appetite or eating habits leave gaps.
Side effects of PediaSure Chocolate Nutritional Drink Powder
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Generally well tolerated when prepared and used as directed
How to use PediaSure Chocolate Nutritional Drink Powder
Prepare it fresh before drinking. For a milk-based serving, stir the recommended scoops of powder into milk; for a water-based serving, mix into water as directed on the pack. Two servings a day is the typical recommendation, but follow the label or your paediatrician's advice for the right amount for your child.
How PediaSure Chocolate Nutritional Drink Powder works
PediaSure supplies a broad range of nutrients, including protein, vitamins, minerals and prebiotic fibre, that a growing child's body draws on for energy, bone health and overall development.
