MiL Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Yuya Sugioka) will launch two new products on April 6 from the "Manten Balance" series, a nutritional supplement brand for children: "Kazoku de Gokigen Iron Powder" (Happy Iron Powder for the Family), which can be used from around 6 months of age up to moms and dads, and "manten Triple Care", a protein that comprehensively supports the growth period of elementary and junior high school students.
Through "the kindest", a brand that supports "dietary education" from infancy, our company has pursued the safety, security, and nutrition of infants from the weaning food stage to preschool age. These new products utilize the philosophy of safety, security, and nutrition cultivated in "the kindest", and are our first products aimed at elementary and junior high school students as well as child-rearing moms and dads.
## ■ Background of Development: Challenging "Family Nutritional Issues" Beyond Infant Food
Until now, "the kindest" has mainly supported children in the weaning and toddler food stages, from 0 to around 6 years old. However, as children grow, their living environments change, and new challenges arise according to changes in their daily activity levels and life rhythms. In addition, daily nutritional management tends to be a burden for moms and dads raising children.
We believe there are two particular issues:
### 1. The increasingly serious iron deficiency in children
It is said that modern children tend to have insufficient iron intake compared to Western countries, against the backdrop of changes in dietary habits and living environments. Iron is an essential nutrient for a healthy growth period, and it is thought that it may affect their daily condition.
### 2. The "Essence of Growth" which is not just nutritional supplementation
While general nutritional supplements for children tend to focus on numbers such as nutrient amounts, in the developmental stages of children, the balance of three elements supporting life—"sleep, nutrition, and exercise"—is considered important. However, modern elementary and junior high school students lead busy lives with extracurricular activities and cram schools, and due to the influence of the digital environment, this balance is easily disrupted.
Based on the idea of "thoroughly thinking about better safety and security for children and delivering Well-being", we have expanded this knowledge to elementary and junior high school students and adults, developing two products that support the daily lives of the whole family.
