SaiSure is a multi-nutrient supplement, a malt-based composition for pregnant women, toddlers, pre-school and school children. It meets the protein, vitamin, mineral requirements and designed to meet 50% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of most of the Micro-Nutrients. It can be scaled up and expanded rapidly since it is easy to prepare and is quite cost-effective. It is manufactured in a state-of-the-art nutraceutical facility, SaiSure Nutritions LLP, Muddenahalli.
Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust has been running one of India’s leading Morning Nutrition programs for rural school children working at the grassroots level in the area of child nutrition security and “hidden hunger” management. Introducing SaiSure health supplement to the children of low economic strata, the issue of “Hidden Hunger” can be addressed. The marked improvements post consumption of SaiSure in children besides improved health parameters, is multi-fold like reduction in drop-out rate of children and increase in punctuality and attendance, thereby resulting in better academic performance. The teachers are also motivated to teach the rural children with filled stomachs. This has ensured higher probability of children finishing their primary and secondary education.
Proper nutrition for growing children is the need of the hour. The job is not completed until Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai’s mission of “Let No Child Go to School Hungry Ever” is accomplished.
