The
Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN), the foremost nutrition body in Nigeria has
endorsed Maltina for providing complete richness uninterruptedly for the past
39-years. The association endorsed the leading malt brand from the stable of
Nigerian Breweries Plc at its 45th Annual General Meeting and Scientific
Conference of Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN) that held in Lagos
recently.
Chairman of the
Scientific and Technical Committee of the Nutrition Society of Nigeria, Dr. Bartholomew Brai, disclosed that, “aside it’s
numerous nutritional benefits; Maltina is rich in calcium and vitamin A. These
are key strong points of the product.” He also pointed out that the society is
proud to be associated with the Maltina brand due to its richness and vitality
for healthy living.
Receiving the endorsement
certification on behalf of the company, Senior Brand Manager, Maltina, Mr.
Adewole Adedeji, said the endorsement is very important to the brand because it’s an
attestation to the claim of complete richness.
He added that the endorsement was a
further validation that the product claims are based on verifiable proofs and
testament to the highly beneficial constituents of the Maltina brand which is
also the only malt drink in Nigeria that is calcium-enriched, a key nutrient
needed for the development of healthy bones and teeth, normal blood clotting,
and peak performance of the nervous system.
“Maltina
is taking the nutritional challenge head-on hence the fortification of the
drink with essential nutrients. For instance, Maltina is heavily fortified with
diverse vitamins and nutrients needed by the human body. Vitamin A, a regular
ingredient is a fat soluble vitamin, which is essential for normal growth,
vision, immune responses and cell differentiation. It has vitamin A levels in
the range of 40.99-49.51mg/l/. Studies have shown that over 34-69% of childhood
blindness in Nigeria is caused by corneal opacity, which results mainly from
interplay of vitamin A deficiency.”
Beyond
that, the popular malt drink is also fortified with Vitamin C that boosts the
immune system and helps prevent cancer and heart disease. When there is a
shortage of Vitamin C, various problems can arise. Although scurvy is the only
disease clinically treated with the Vitamin, a shortage of it may result in
haemorrhages under the skin and a tendency to bruise easily, poor wound
healing, soft and spongy bleeding gums and loose teeth.
Since
it hit the Nigerian market in 1976, Maltina has consistently been telling a
compelling and refreshing story of the happiness and complete richness that is
inspired by sharing Maltina with friends and loved ones.
As a result of its proven quality and refreshing richness,
Maltina - which is the first locally produced Malt Drink in Nigeria – is now
the only Malt Drink endorsed by the NSN………..
