Nutributter® is a nutritional supplement (LNS = Lipid-based Nutrient Supplement) in the form of a ready-to-use paste, intended to fortify the food supplements of young children, aged between 6 and 24 months, and aid in their motor and cognitive development.

Main characteristics, target population and benefits obtained

Ideally, babies should be exclusively breast-fed up to the age of 6 months. After this, mother's milk no longer provides all the energy and nutrients the infant needs in order to grow. A high quality food supplement then becomes indispensable to compensate for this deficit, but this is sometimes unavailable or inaccessible in a large number of developing countries.

Originally developed for children aged between 6 and 12 months at risk of malnutrition, Nutributter® is now also used as an addition to continued breast-feeding (up to 24 months) and supplementary foods.

Daily consumption of Nutributter® over a period of at least four months helps to compensate for any deficiencies in the supplementary food. It provides all the micronutrients (minerals and vitamins) required for growth in children of that age group. Nutributter® is also recommended as a fortifier for feeding children aged between 12 and 24 months, a key period for growth and intellectual development.

Nutributter®  belongs to the LNS (Lipid-based Nutrient Supplement) group. It is delivered in individual, 20 g sachets.

Nutributter® is a paste based on peanuts, sugar, vegetable fat, skimmed milk powder, maltodextrin and whey, enriched with a vitamin and mineral complex.

Nutributter® is ready-to-use and requires no preparation (neither dilution nor cooking). It can be used alone or mixed with the food supplement, after this has been cooked.

Nutributter® is reserved for use with young children and must not be shared with the other members of the family, as its micronutrient content is especially calculated to meet the needs of a child.

Several studies have shown that Nutributter® is accepted and appreciated by children and their families.
