For many decades, Ovaltine has been a reliable and healthy drink of choice for Fijians.
Packed with vitamins and minerals, the chocolate-malt flavoured Ovaltine continues to win the hearts of millions of health conscious consumers across the globe.
Initially developed in Switzerland in 1904, Ovaltine (also known as Ovomaltine) will turn 102 years-old this year.
Ovaltine is ideal for any time of the day or night and is loved by adults and children alike. It is also considered a very safe and healthy drink during pregnancy as well.
Kids and adults alike can enjoy Ovaltine as a warm or cold beverage. Consumed in moderation, it offers health benefits by providing considerable amounts of fourteen vitamins and ten minerals.
Here are just a few of many reasons why Ovaltine continues to be the favourite health drink of thousands of Fijians.
Fat-Free
Ovaltine is a fat-free drink, which encourages good heart health. According to the American Heart Association, reducing saturated fat, cholesterol and trans-fat in your diet can help increase heart health by reducing the risk of developing heart disease or Type-2 diabetes. Reduced fat consumption can also help reduce the risk of high cholesterol, which may lead to heart disease.
B-Complex Vitamins
Ovaltine contains an array of B-complex vitamins, which are used in the body to convert food to energy and to control appetite, mood, sleep, contraction and relaxation of nerves and muscles, and metabolism. Vitamin B6 works to support the brain. Consuming a serving of Ovaltine contributes enough towards your daily value of vitamin B-6.
Bone Health
Ovaltine contains both calcium and vitamin D, which are needed for bone growth and strengthening. This vitamin-and-mineral combination is especially important for growing children. Due to the natural process of aging, bones become less dense as the years go by, making them more susceptible to fractures and increasing the risk of developing osteoporosis. An inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D can prevent osteoporosis. Each serving of Ovaltine provides enough of our daily value of calcium and vitamin D.
Blood Health
The mineral iron, contained in Ovaltine, is critical for delivering oxygen throughout the body and for haemoglobin production. A person whose body is low in iron can develop iron-deficiency anaemia, which can cause symptoms such as fatigue, rapid pulse and difficulty in breathing. Eating foods or drinking liquids that contain iron can help to prevent this condition. Ovaltine contains enough of daily value of iron in each serving.
Ovaltine is distributed in Fiji by Motibhai Group, bringing quality products for you and your family.
