Abbott launches Arachitol Gummies in India

Mumbai: Abbott has launched Arachitol Gummies in India, a new fruit flavored product for kids and adults. Arachitol Gummies is a dietary supplement that helps maintain required levels of Vitamin D sustainably. As the body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium for better bone health, keeping recommended levels of vitamin D is essential for overall well-being.
Formulated with additional essential micronutrients such as calcium and curcumin, they help support bone health and immunity. Launched in orange fruit flavor, these easy-to-consume gummies are approved as health supplements by the Food Safety and Standards Authority in India.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR 2010) recommends a daily supplement of 400 IU/day (international units of measurement) of Vitamin D for Indians under situations of minimal exposure to sunlight. According to a recent study, despite India being a tropical country with an abundance of sunlight, 76% of Indians have Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, especially in the 18-30 age group. Limited sunlight exposure, air pollution obstructing UVB rays, high melanin levels and low intake of fortified foods are some of the major causes of Vitamin D deficiency.
