Product Description
PaediaSure Shake Strawberry Powder 850g is the economical home-use format of Abbott's leading children's nutritional supplement drink, providing approximately 8 prepared servings per tin. Each 225ml serving is made by mixing 5 level scoops of powder with 190ml of water, delivering around 225 kcal alongside a comprehensive blend of 26 vitamins and minerals, protein, DHA omega 3 from algae oil, and omega 6 essential fatty acids.
The powder format is preferred by many parents for home use — it costs less per serving than the ready-to-drink bottles, can be prepared fresh to the child's taste, and can also be added to smoothies, porridge, and baked recipes to boost nutrition in disguised form. Parents often keep the RTD bottles for on-the-go occasions and use the powder at home.
The formula supports children through their most critical growth years (ages 1–10) with iron for normal cognitive development, vitamin D for immune system support, and calcium and phosphorus for normal bone growth. DHA from C. cohnii algae oil supports brain development. PaediaSure Shake is the UK pharmacy's number one children's nutritional supplement drink. The strawberry colour comes from E120 (carmine). The 850g also contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, a beneficial probiotic culture. Gluten free. Suitable for vegetarians.
