Abbott promotes living a healthy life through Nutrition for the Whole Family campaign

Abbott, a global healthcare company, and Shopee, have come together to improve nutrition at every stage of life through the Nutrition for the Whole Family initiative. The campaign aims to nurture families to live fuller lives through good nutrition, and through this program, families will receive nutrition tips, engage with a nutritionist and get to select a range of Abbott's science-based nutrition products for children and adults.

From May 12 to 14, shoppers can access special content features in Shopee:

Nutrition Tips: A healthy immune system is supported through good nutrition. Consumers can receive nutrition tips on the Alagang Abbott Facebook page to discover the different nutrients and how they help fight against illnesses and infections.

Shopping Guide: Good nutrition starts with making smart choices in the store. Abbott product listings on the Shopee platform will feature the nutrition benefits of the products to help consumers select the right specialized nutrition supplement according to their needs.

One of the products featured in the campaign is Glucerna, a nutritional supplement that helps support the dietary and weight management of diabetics.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in the world¹. According to a post in the International Diabetes Federation's website, the Philippines has recorded a total of 3.9M cases of diabetes in adults as of mid-2020². This is indeed alarming especially now that we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Experts say that proper diet and regular exercise are just some of the things a diabetic person can do to control their blood sugar. With its unique and improved formula, Glucerna can be considered a snack replacement or can be incorporated in their everyday meals.

Glucerna comes in different varieties and in Shopee, they have the ready-to-drink tetra packs and powdered milk. Its formulation offers:

Advanced blend of low glycemic carbohydrates to help support the dietary management of diabetics.
