Vitamin D is a highly sought-after nutrient in the 21st century. As the essential Vitamin acts like a hormone in the human body, its actual nomenclature surprises many while giving away its function. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroid that influences multiple physiological functions and ensures a healthy, functioning body. It is mainly obtained from sunlight as food sources contain moderate amounts of Vitamin D unless they are enriched otherwise
This is why Vitamin D is also nicknamed the sunshine Vitamin. But since sunlight cannot be the sole, sustainable source of Vitamin D for kids, parents must look for other sources. Fortunately, they do not have to look further than their kitchens and pantries. Bournvita, the beloved cereal-based beverage mix, has an age-old friendship with the sunshine Vitamin. It is time to explore the nutritional adventures of the dynamic duo.
Bournvita is a cereal-based beverage mix that pairs perfectly with milk. A serving includes two heaped spoonfuls of Bournvita and 200 ml of warm or chilled milk, according to preference. This means Bournvita’s existing Vitamin D content further enriches milk and works as a delicious drink for your kid.
Vitamin D in Bournvita supports healthy bones and muscles at a cellular level.
Bournvita has been a trusted cereal-based drink mix for years. Its chocolatey taste and ability to make drinking milk fun is what endears it to Indian families. So, its Vitamin D levels are going to please its patrons further. While kids love drinking Bournvita and would not mind consuming it all day, parents follow the instructions and allow them to drink the recommended two servings of Bournvita daily.
But little do they know that this small initiative can provide up to 50% of their child’s recommended dietary allowance (RDA) requirement per day. Yes, your kids aged 7 to 9 may rejoice as, according to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), half of their daily Vitamin D requirements are replenished when they drink their chosen cereal- based beverage mix with milk twice daily. Therefore, Bournvita and Vitamin D’s powerful partnership can be enjoyed daily by kids while keeping deficiencies and diseases away. So, it is wise to delay no longer and join them in the delicious and nutritious endeavor.
