Tasteful goodness everyday

Did you know?
70% of children in Sri Lanka between ages 4 and 12 skip their breakfast*

13.3% of Sri Lankan kids are deficient in vitamin D**, while 44% of South Asian kids are proved to be deficient in their requirements of vitamin A***.

1/4th of your child’s daily strength requirements should come from breakfast****,

Children need up to 30% of their calorie intake from fat and fat quality is key*****

That is why Astra is the perfect breakfast partner for you which is packed with the goodness of vitamin A and D as well as fats. Just with a 20g of Astra, you can obtain 33% of the daily vitamin A requirements (as retinol) and 33% of vitamin D (as Ergocalciferol)

Both Vitamin A and D play a role in contributing to the normal function of the immune system.
