Nutricare – 15 years of shaping medical nutrition, caring for vietnamese health with international excellence
Starting with a team entirely specialized in nutrition and food science, Nutricare has, from its inception, remained committed to its mission: “Pioneering Medical Nutrition for the Vietnamese”.
Mr. Nguyen Duc Minh – CEO of Nutricare shared: “The human body is the most advanced machine on the planet. We respect its natural mechanisms and only recommend supplementation when truly necessary.” Over 15 years, Nutricare has consistently applied modern scientific achievements to its product formulations, providing a comprehensive nutrition system for all ages.
At the 15th anniversary celebration, Nutricare was honored by the Vietnam Dairy Association with a certificate of recognition for its significant contributions to the domestic dairy industry during 2016–2025. On this occasion, Nutricare also officially launched Metacare Colostrum, marking a breakthrough in proactive immune-support nutrition for young children.
Immune system – A solid foundation for children’s growth
The early years are a “golden period” for building a strong health foundation in children, with the immune system acting as a natural “shield” against pathogens. However, after 6 months of age, passive antibodies from breast milk decline sharply, while the child’s own immunity is still immature. This makes children more vulnerable to viruses and bacteria, leading to respiratory, digestive illnesses, and seasonal flu, often causing frequent sickness, poor appetite, and slow growth.
According to experts, nutrition plays a critical role in strengthening children’s immunity. A balanced and complete diet provides essential micronutrients, protein, and probiotics that generate energy, support the development and maintenance of immune cells, and nurture the gut microbiome, where 70–80% of immune cells reside.
In today’s context, with infectious diseases increasingly occurring year-round, fortifying children’s immunity has become more important than ever. The latest reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that seasonal flu, traditionally common in winter, is now circulating throughout the year. Notably, in autumn 2025, the number of flu cases and hospitalizations increased significantly, especially among young children and the elderly, two groups with weaker immunity.
Against this backdrop, proactively strengthening the immune system of young children is considered a top priority to protect their health and reduce the risk of seasonal illnesses…
Metacare Colostrum 2+ – a new step in immune-support nutrition, helping children grow healthy, gain weight, and develop taller
Recognizing the crucial role of nutrition in strengthening the immune system, Nutricare, in collaboration with the Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA), has successfully researched and developed Metacare Colostrum, a nutritional product that supports immune system enhancement, helping children stay healthy, gain weight, and grow taller.
One of the key differentiators of Metacare Colostrum 2+ lies in its dual immune-support mechanism, developed based on scientific research on immunity and gut microbiota. The product combines a high level of IgG antibodies from U.S. colostrum with Postbiotic Lactococcus lactis Plasma, creating a comprehensive protection system that both prevents pathogens and activates the body’s natural immunity from within.
Metacare Colostrum provides 1,500 mg of IgG antibodies from colostrum, a type of antibody proven to play a central role in humoral immunity. IgG can recognize, bind, and neutralize viruses, bacteria, and toxins, allowing the child’s body to respond immediately to pathogens—especially crucial during the stage when the immune system is still developing.
Paired with 30 billion Postbiotic Lactococcus lactis Plasma, which has been shown to reduce the frequency of common illnesses such as colds, coughs, fevers, and diarrhea, Metacare Colostrum also shortens recovery time. This is achieved through activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) – the “leaders” of the immune system, enhancing the production of type I interferon, enabling early recognition and elimination of pathogens while stimulating the entire immune network, thereby supporting comprehensive immune protection for children.
Nutrition experts emphasize that a healthy gut optimizes nutrient absorption and simultaneously nurtures the 70% of immune cells located in the gut. Understanding this, Metacare Colostrum is fortified with HMO (Human Milk Oligosaccharides) to balance gut microbiota and strengthen the intestinal mucosal immune barrier, along with soluble fiber (FOS/Inulin) to retain water, soften stools, and stimulate bowel movement, helping reduce constipation. The combination of HMO and soluble fiber promotes smooth gut function, maximizes nutrient absorption, supports healthy digestion, and encourages children to eat better.
With a nutrient-rich formula, Metacare Colostrum provides high-quality protein and essential amino acids like Lysine, which help stimulate appetite, enhance energy metabolism, and support healthy weight gain. The trio of Calcium, Vitamin K2, and Vitamin D3 contributes to building strong bones and promoting height development.
Thanks to the balanced combination of essential nutrients, Metacare Colostrum becomes a comprehensive nutritional solution that boosts immunity while providing a solid foundation for children to grow taller and gain weight effectively.

Unlocking the dual immune mechanism to keep children healthy from within
(SKĐS) – In the early years of life, a child’s immune system is still immature. When exposed to pathogens, children are more susceptible to respiratory infections, digestive issues, and colds. Amid outbreaks and unpredictable weather, strengthening immunity through scientific nutrition has become a foundational strategy to help children stay healthy and develop sustainably. Immunity – […]
IgG antibodies in 24-hour colostrum – A “Golden Shield” protecting children’s immunity
(SKĐS) – After six months of age, the IgG antibodies that children receive from breast milk begin to decline. It isn’t until around ages 3–4 that a child’s own immune system can produce antibody levels approaching those of adults, providing effective protection against diseases. Supplementing IgG antibodies from 24-hour colostrum is considered an effective approach […]

According to […]
