Unilab's VitaPops: This vitamin C rocks
MANILA, Philippines -Have you ever wondered if fun and healthy can go together when it comes to children? Kids usually make decisions based on what they think is fun while moms choose what’s best for their kids. As children get older and learn to decide for themselves, moms need to find ways to be creative to convince their children to make the right choices, especially when it comes to their health.
Recognizing the need to intersperse health in a fun, engaging way, Unilab, the Philippines’ leading health and wellness company, has come up with an exciting new product that allows children to have fun and enjoy while keeping them safe and healthy —VitaPops!
“We, at Unilab, are excited to introduce this vitamin that will definitely make taking vitamin C a fun, memorable experience. VitaPops is the first and only pop rocks vitamin C in the country,” shares VitaPops product manager Joseph Aruta. “Aside from its unique format, VitaPops comes in a single-dose sachet making it more convenient for moms and kids to bring around, has 1/5 the sugar content compared to your regular vitamins, and is formulated with sodium ascorbate making it tummy-friendly. With VitaPops, we hope to give moms and kids a healthy yet fun compromise.”
“To be healthy takes more than eating fruits and vegetables. Today, due to handling, processing, and cooking, the vitamin C content in milk, fruits, and vegetables is significantly reduced so eating these foods may not be enough to attain one’s recommended daily intake of vitamin C, especially in children,” explains Dr. Liz Inciong of the Institute of Pediatrics and Child Health. VitaPops is available in all leading drugstores nationwide at P10/sachet.
