(Vietnamnet) – Driven by a long-standing commitment to improving the health and physical development of Vietnamese children, Nutricare has spent the past 15 years enhancing nutrition quality, partnering with the Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA), and introducing internationally-standardized solutions that support the growth and cognitive development of the younger generation.
According to data from the Ministry of Health, Vietnamese children are currently facing a triple burden of nutrition challenges: stunting, overweight and obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies. These issues stem from imbalanced diets, modern lifestyle habits, and gaps in living conditions between urban and rural areas. Such nutritional challenges can have lasting impacts on physical growth, cognitive ability, and future productivity.
Addressing these concerns through proper nutrition tailored to meet the physiological needs of each child group has become a central objective of the national nutrition strategy. Personalized solutions not only support healthy growth but also represent a long-term approach to improving the stature and capabilities of future generations. This is also the mission Nutricare has steadfastly pursued throughout its 15-year journey.
International collaboration elevates nutrition standards in Vietnam
From its inception, Nutricare committed to developing Medical Nutrition products, delivering comprehensive nutritional solutions that improve the health of millions of Vietnamese children.
To do that, the company pursues a long-term vision, promoting cooperation with the Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA), marking an important step forward for Nutricare on the journey of applying international nutritional standards, especially US standards, to suit the physical condition of Vietnamese children, opening up a new approach in product research and development.
Over the years, Nutricare has built a complete nutritional ecosystem for children experiencing malnutrition, stunting, picky eating, low immunity, or digestive challenges. Each product represents dedicated research and scientific development conducted jointly with NMNI-USA.
A highlight of this partnership is Metacare Opti, a product that marked a significant milestone in applying advanced scientific technology. It is one of the first in Vietnam to utilize postbiotic innovation, delivering 30 billion postbiotics per serving to support gut microbiome balance and enhance nutrient absorption in children.
Alongside that, the formula includes 60 essential nutrients, such as whey protein, lysine, and zinc, helping children absorb nutrients efficiently and achieve healthy weight gain. Metacare Opti also contains a trio of calcium, vitamin K2, and vitamin D3 imported from the U.S., playing a key role in supporting bone strength and height development.
Clinically-proven solutions backed by science confirm product quality
Nutricare places strong emphasis on clinical validation to ensure product effectiveness and safety, giving parents peace of mind when choosing nutrition for their children. Several products developed with NMNI-USA have undergone clinical studies and demonstrated significant improvements in child health outcomes. Among these is Hanie Kid, a nutrition formula designed for picky eaters and stunted children, clinically proven to support weight gain after just one month of use. Thanks to its measurable outcomes, Hanie Kid has become a trusted choice for many parents seeking effective nutritional support for their children.
For underweight and stunted children, Nutricare Colos24h Grow Plus is another trusted solution. With a high-energy formula providing 100 kcal per serving in line with WHO recommendations, this product has been clinically shown to support weight gain after two months.
Nutricare’s consistent clinical research approach reflects its serious, science-led commitment to long-term product excellence. This foundation has helped the company secure the Vietnam National Brand award for Medical Nutrition for eight consecutive years, alongside many other prestigious recognitions, including Top 10 Reputable Food Companies and the Vietnam Golden Star Award …
Most recently, Nutricare was selected by the Ministry of Industry and Trade to participate in the pavilion of “National Startup for Nation Building” during the event celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day, a testament to its pioneering contributions to public health.
From launching its first product to support stunted children to becoming Vietnam’s leading Medical Nutrition brand after 15 years, Nutricare has grown into a trusted partner for parents. Each product represents Nutricare’s long-term commitment to nurturing a healthier, stronger future generation. Looking ahead, Nutricare remains committed to advancing research and innovation, delivering even more effective, safe, and science-backed nutrition solutions for Vietnamese children.
