Kuala Lumpur, 12 August 2015: Dugro® launches brand-new ‘So Much More Nutrition’ Campaign’ to emphasize the importance of optimizing children’s nutrition to inspire well-rounded development. Together with the campaign’s celebrity chef advocate Anis Nabilah, the brand reaches out to moms all over Malaysia, inviting them to make mealtimes so much more nutritious and interesting for their little ones, so that a healthy relationship with their diet can be cultivated from a young age.
Dugro® and Anis Nabilah kicked off the campaign with an exclusive mom-and-child ‘So Much More Nutrition Workshop with Anis Nabilah’, which is followed by a nationwide roadshow, ‘Peraduan Lebih Lagi Nutrisi’ at the Dumex Dugro® Facebook page and an exclusive Bekas Nutrisi Dugro® consumer promotion from August 17 to October 18.
“The Danone Dumex Malaysia’s mission is to bring health through nutrition to as many Malaysian children as possible, and we continuously work to improve the nutritional benefits of our products, such as our Dugro® 5 NUTRI, to offer mothers more options to support their children’s optimal nutrition. Furthermore, we are committed through meaningful and educational brand initiatives like the ‘Dugro® So Much More Nutrition’ Campaign to spread the message that a child’s well-rounded development is essential and to share some tips in this area,” said Ms Christy Yong, Senior Marketing Manager, Danone Dumex (M) Sdn Bhd.
“This time around, we are happy to have the ardent support of celebrity chef Anis Nabilah, who will share tips on jazzing up family meals and injecting some fun and creativity in to how we provide so much more in nutrition for our young ones.”
The Malaysian Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents recommend children take two to three servings of milk and milk products to complement a child’s daily diet[i], so mothers can also supplement their children’s nutritional requirement with growing-up milk. Dugro® 5 NUTRI, is formulated with 100% more* DHA, prebiotics lcFOS to support good digestive health as well as protein, calcium, and vitamin A to support a child’s overall growth and development.

Anis Nabilah helps moms and their little ones with creating food art in the Bekas Nutrisi Dugro.
Using her experience hosting the Asian Food Channel’s (AFC) Icip-Icip, RTM1’s Enak Tradisi and RTM2’s Sesedap Rasa, Chef Anis said, “I believe it’s important to eat well from a young age so that children can enjoy well-rounded development. Thanks to Dugro®, I’m really excited to be able to share some of my kitchen know-hows with moms in getting their children interested in wholesome, nutritious food. In addition to providing variety, I also believe presentation is an important part of how kids eat. We eat with our eyes first. So, for parents who are struggling to get their kids to eat the right foods, using different types of food with various colours and textures or even arranging it into simple food art has a lot of appeal for children; this can make it easier for moms at mealtimes.”
“Getting children more involved in the kitchen can also help. For example, allow your child to choose what food art they want to make for the day, such as a funny face, house, a tree, a butterfly, or show them how the Bekas Nutrisi Dugro® can be used to present these food art ideas in creative ways!”
