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.

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