Virutubishi Pediatric Micronutrient Powder - 1 Pack of 30 Sachets (1g each)
During the critical weaning period (6 to 59 months), infants in East Africa are highly susceptible to iron-deficiency anemia and micronutrient malnutrition, which can permanently stunt cognitive and physical growth. Virutubishi is a vital public health intervention. Packaged in precise 1g single-dose sachets, this tasteless powder blends seamlessly into semi-solid infant foods like porridge, delivering highly bioavailable iron, zinc, and essential vitamins to ensure robust immune defense and healthy childhood development.
How to Use / Operate
Mix the entire contents of one 1g sachet thoroughly into a small portion of the child's cooled, semi-solid food (such as thick porridge or mashed vegetables) immediately before feeding. Administer one sachet every other day, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Do not mix into liquids or hot food.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Virutubishi Powder used for?
It is a home-fortification micronutrient powder used to prevent pediatric anemia, boost infant immunity, and support healthy growth during the weaning period.
Will it change the taste of my baby's food?
No, the powder is specially encapsulated to be tasteless and odorless, ensuring the infant accepts the fortified food without issue.
Important Clinical Considerations
Once mixed into food, it must be consumed within 30 minutes; do not save fortified food for later to prevent bacterial growth. The iron content may cause the child's stool to appear dark or black, which is a normal, harmless clinical response.
