CADBURY BOURNVITA

Cadbury Bournvita is a premium chocolate malted drink mix manufactured by Cadbury (a subsidiary of Mondelez International). Originally developed in the late 1920s, it has evolved into one of the most trusted health food drinks across regions like Africa (especially Nigeria) and Asia (especially India).

It is designed to be mixed with hot or cold milk, offering a rich, chocolatey flavor while serving as a nutritional supplement to boost daily energy, immunity, and growth.

1. Key Benefits & Nutritional Value

Bournvita is formulated around the concept of providing “inner strength” and vitality for both active children and adults.

• Immunity Support: Packed with essential nutrients—including Vitamins A, C, D, B12, Zinc, Iron, Copper, and Selenium—that contribute to a properly functioning immune system.

• Physical Strength & Energy: Features a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats that provide sustainable energy throughout the day.

• Bone & Muscle Development: Fortified with Vitamin D, Phosphorus, and Calcium to aid the body in developing strong bones and maintaining muscle mass.

• Mental Alertness: Contains Iron, Iodine, and Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), which help support normal cognitive function, nervous system health, and iron status.

2. Core Ingredients

The standard formulation relies heavily on grain and cocoa solids to achieve its signature malted taste profile:

• Cereal Extract (Malt Extract): Derived from Barley and Wheat (approx. 51%), giving the beverage its core malt base.

• Cocoa Solids: Provides the rich, authentic chocolate flavor.

• Sugar & Liquid Glucose: Added for sweetness and quick-release carbohydrates.

• Milk Solids: Enhances the creamy texture and base protein profile.

• Vitamins & Minerals: A curated blend of micronutrients added explicitly for health reinforcement.

4. Consumption and Storage

• How to Prepare: Add 2 heaped tablespoons (approx. 20g) of Bournvita to a glass of warm or cold milk. Stir well. Due to its existing sugar content, adding extra sugar is optional.

• Recommended Servings: 2 servings a day are typically recommended as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.

• Storage: Keep the product stored in a clean, dry, airtight container away from direct sunlight to prevent the powder from clumping.

Dietary Notice: Because Bournvita contains gluten (from barley and wheat) and milk solids, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease, wheat allergies, or severe lactose intolerance. Additionally, those monitoring their sugar or calorie intake should balance their servings accordingly.
