Speaking further
on the impact of the endorsement, Adedeji said: “Anybody can claim to be
anything. But when respected bodies like the Nutrition Society of Nigeria go
out of their way to formally endorse a brand, then it means your claims are
valid and immensely beneficial to the consumers. That way, value propositions
are based on actual product truths.”

However, 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.

Vitamin C, another ingredient is a powerful water soluble antioxidant
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.
