10th<\/sup> JUNE 2021, KUALA LUMPUR \u2013 <\/strong>Danone, a leading food and beverage company specializing in nutritional products in Malaysia has launched a new and improved version of its leading milk brand AptaGro.  Backed by over 40 years of pioneering research, AptaGro is Danone\u2019s most advanced growing up milk formula in Malaysia. With a sharp focus on the importance of supporting immune system in children from a young age, the improved AptaGro is formulated with ActiveDuoBio+. It is the only growing up milk formula in Malaysia with 1 Billion Probiotics^, unique mix of Prebiotics GOS\/lcFOS (9:1) and highest DHA** (Docosahexaenoic Acid).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand\u2019s ambition has always been for children to have a \u2018Strong Smart Start\u2019 and supports parents to raise resilient children which they have shown through their various endeavours to educate and empower parents with different initiatives such as their 24-hour careline, education articles and their constant innovation of well-loved products such as the new and improved AptaGro. AptaGro works to support the child\u2019s growth and development, backed by a toddler study in Europe and Asia2<\/sup>. It also contains the highest DHA** \u2013 a nutrient that is essential to a child\u2019s brain and learning development, which helps in meeting international expert recommendations3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the launch of the product in Malaysia, <\/strong>the newly appointed Country Manager, Danone, Malaysia, Vera Saw, <\/strong>said, \u201cAt Danone, we believe that a healthy start plays a pivotal role in determining the success of a child\u2019s future. Since immunity has become a priority, and resilience a crucial quality in today\u2019s world, Danone endeavours to support parents in their journey to adopt healthier eating and drinking choices for their toddlers and has been chosen more than 2 Million times by mums in South East Asia1<\/sup>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Danone, we think about both the child and parent which is why we\u2019ve established the 24-hour careline for parents to call in when they need assistance or further explanation on the product. We believe in demonstrating our commitment to parents and this starts with giving them the knowledge they need to make the best choices for their children. The improved and scientifically formulated AptaGro has the ambition to nurture a child\u2019s stronger immunity and sharper mind so that parents can confidently expose them to the world, to build his\/her resilience. At AptaGro we hope that our scientific progress meets every parents\u2019 and child\u2019s needs. It comes from Europe\u2019s No 1* Company in Milk Formula for Children and is backed by strong science that works to provide your child with our best, so that they can be \u2018One Step Ahead!\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the study on 767 Asian and European toddlers, who were split into the two groups of growing up milk \u2013 with prebiotics and Long chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (LcPUFAs) and without prebiotics and LcPUFAs, to determine the significance of incorporating prebiotics in children\u2019s daily nutritional intake. Results showed that 23% of children who were drinking growing up milk with prebiotics and LcPUFAs had 0 episodes of infections, while only 17% of children who drank growing up milk without prebiotics and LcPUFA had 0 episodes of infections2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA child\u2019s life is vital for the development of their organs and immune system. As a brand that provides 1 Billion Probiotics^, unique mix of Prebiotics GOS\/lcFOS (9:1) and Highest DHA**, AptaGro is confident with the science behind their formulation may give a child the kickstart that they need in life.\u201d Vera <\/strong>further added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This improved AptaGro has been tried and validated by mums in South East Asia and is reported in an independent survey by Home Tester Club (HTC) which has shown that 100%# <\/sup>of mums believe that AptaGro\u2019s combination of Prebiotics and Probiotics and important nutrients provide good nutrition that help support their child\u2019s immune system4.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
