Dr. Russell James Merritt, Director of the Nutrition Support and Digestive Recovery Center, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California (USA), said that in the process of advising parents on how to help their children catch up on healthy growth, he discovered that the most effective method is to combine dietary advice and maintain oral nutritional supplements (ONS). This method helps children absorb calories and micronutrients more effectively, while catching up on growth and maintaining healthy, stable development even after stopping the consultation course.

A large-scale study in 2013 showed that oral nutritional supplementation twice daily for 48 weeks provided children with complete and balanced nutrition, meeting at least 50% of the essential nutrients for growth and immune system development.

According to doctors, being overweight or underweight is a sign of an unhealthy growth pattern. Therefore, parents need to be aware of the importance of a scientific nutritional regimen, especially during the embryonic and early stages of a child's life. From there, there are early intervention measures to support children to reduce the incidence of short-term nutrition-related diseases as well as negative impacts on long-term development.
