Nutribray’s National Nutrition Week 2026 Communication

Nutribray Healthcare Pvt. Ltd released a press statement on 31 August 2026 to mark National Nutrition Week, observed in India from 1 to 7 September 2026. The company framed the week as an opportunity to reinforce the importance of balanced, evidence‑based nutrition at every stage of life and to address India’s “double burden of malnutrition,” where persistent undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies coexist with rising rates of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other lifestyle‑related diseases.

The release highlighted that nutrition education is the first step toward informed dietary choices that support long‑term health, physiological function and nutrient balance for pregnant women, growing children, working adults and older adults. It outlined specific nutritional requirements for each life stage:

  • Pregnancy: increased needs for iron, folic acid, calcium, protein, iodine, vitamin D and essential fatty acids to support fetal brain, bone and immune development and to reduce pregnancy‑related complications.
  • Infancy (first 1,000 days): emphasized breastfeeding as the preferred nutrition source; when supplementation is needed, Nutribray’s Braymil infant nutrition range—produced in BIS‑certified facilities—offers scientifically developed products that meet quality and regulatory standards.
  • Childhood: adequate protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and micronutrients are essential for growth, immunity and learning, while limiting ultra‑processed foods, sugary beverages and high‑sodium snacks.
  • Adolescence: heightened demand for nutrients that support hormonal changes, bone development, muscle growth and academic or sporting performance.
  • Adulthood: warned that busy schedules often lead to reliance on convenience foods, meal skipping and reduced physical activity, contributing to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease; recommended dietary diversity, portion control and inclusion of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, quality proteins, healthy fats and adequate fluids.
  • Healthy Ageing: stressed the need for higher‑quality protein, proper hydration, vitamins and minerals to preserve muscle strength, bone health, immune function and cognition.

The statement also noted that certain medical conditions—such as premature birth, low birth weight, post‑surgical recovery, chronic illnesses, metabolic disorders and disease‑related malnutrition—require specialized medical nutrition formulated under professional supervision.

Quality and safety were presented as integral to Nutribray’s product philosophy. The company described rigorous processes covering ingredient selection, formulation, manufacturing, microbiological and quality testing, all aimed at ensuring safety, consistency, stability and nutritional integrity. For infant nutrition, the company operates under BIS‑certified manufacturing, reinforcing compliance with recognized regulatory standards.

Beyond product manufacturing, Nutribray positioned Indian nutrition companies as partners in public health, working alongside hospitals, researchers, government initiatives and educational institutions to promote nutritional awareness, scientific research and product innovation. The firm called for continued collaboration among healthcare professionals, educators, policymakers and industry to enhance food literacy, improve access to nutritious foods and foster a healthier nation.

Looking ahead, Nutribray reaffirmed its commitment to investing in research, food safety, responsible manufacturing and innovation, with its Braymil portfolio exemplifying its focus on infant nutrition, infant cereals, growing‑up nutrition, maternal nutrition, sports nutrition and advanced medical nutrition. The company concluded that better nutrition should be a lifelong commitment supported by evidence‑based guidance from qualified healthcare professionals.
