Are Your Children Picky Eaters? Here's How To Supplement Their Nutrition
Help your child get the extra nutrients they may be missing out on.

Having little ones who are picky with food or lacking appetite can be a big struggle for parents
It's especially tiring when you're constantly having to convince your child to try new foods or finish up food that you've prepared for them. Mealtimes that are meant to be fun and exciting can often end up feeling like an uphill battle.
But beyond the picky eating, things can get concerning when your child is underweight or not growing well for their age.
The National Health and Morbidity Survey (based on data in 2022) found that 21.2% of children under five years old in Malaysia have stunted growth
In fact, this number spans across all socio-economic segments of the population. What this means is that many Malaysian children are at risk of nutritional deficiencies. This can result in poor weight and stunted height among children, impacting their long-term development and growth.
Another growing concern among parents is the rise of everyday expenses — financially burdened families are finding it increasingly difficult to make sure their children get the proper nutrition they need.
Understanding the challenge faced by Malaysian families, Dugro Sure PLUS is an affordable catch-up growth formula that provides key nutrients to support children's growth potential
Dugro Sure PLUS is formulated with 1kcal/ml energy for Catch-Up Growth, as well as 33 key nutrients to support your child's growth potential. In fact, there is scientific evidence shown to support 50% faster growth* in children facing growth issues.
A study run by Dugro’s parent company Danone has shown that among children with feeding difficulties, those who consumed a high calorie formula like Dugro Sure PLUS on top of nutritional advice had significantly 50% faster growth compared to children who only received nutritional advice. When a similar study was conducted in Malaysia in 2023, it showed a consistent significant pattern of growth in height and weight after 12 weeks of consuming Dugro Sure PLUS.
So what's unique about Dugro Sure PLUS? Beyond 1kcal/ml energy, it supplies complete nutrition and uses lactose from cow’s milk as the main source of carbohydrates to provide adequate energy to support your child's physical growth. And the best part is that it's affordable, costing just RM45 for a 600g pack.
*Data based on research on underweight children consuming 1kcal/ml formulation up to 90 days.
Dugro Sure PLUS also contains nutrients like zinc, protein, phosphorus, calcium, and vitamin D, all of which are important for physical growth and development
And on top of physical growth, Dugro Sure PLUS also contains 70.8mg/100g DHA, which is an important nutrient to support brain development, ensuring your child can grow well holistically.
Additionally, Dugro Sure PLUS does not contain any added sucrose, fructose, or corn starch.
