Gel snack aims to tackle vitamin D deficiency

Red Orchard gel pouches are being positioned as a breakthrough product in food technology, delivering 100% of Public Health England’s recommended daily intake of vitamin D in the form of a tasty snack.

Historically, most Vitamin D supplements have only been available as pills, powders, drops, sprays and tablets, so the gel pouch aims to provide a convenient way for busy parents to keep their children’s vitamin intake topped up. According to Public Health England as much as 90% of the multi-ethnic population are suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency.

Each 40g Red Orchard pouch contains less than 20 calories per serving with no added sugar. The product is currently available in a strawberry flavour and is 100% organic, approved by The Soil Association, approved by The Vegetarian Society and produced in the UK.
