The right nutrient supply for toddlers
HiPP JUNIOR COMBIOTIC® is designed specially to meet toddlers’ specific special nutritional needs, making it easy to improve your child’s dietary intake. According to recent studies, more than half of German children suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D levels and the proportion of children with vitamin D deficiency depend on the time of year. A recently published study found that sufficient levels of vitamin D (≥20 ng/ml) were only barely reached during summer and that children did not get sufficient vitamin D during the rest of the year.
A study by Hower et al. 2013 found that the drop in toddlers’ vitamin D levels during winter could be prevented with HiPP JUNIOR COMBIOTIC® 4. Vitamin D levels could even be increased during winter, which was found not to be possible with low-fat cow’s milk, against which the formula was tested, and which has a very low vitamin D content.
