Mahua flower nectar. Unsweetened cocoa. That's it.
In every 2 teaspoons: 4.8 mg of natural iron, natural vitamin C from the Mahua, and no refined sugar, no jaggery, no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives. Nothing is added or fortified. The Mahua is slow-cooked for hours over firewood.
Same chocolate milk ritual. A completely different spoon.
🍊 Iron + Vitamin C, in One Spoon
Every 2 teaspoons carries 4.8 mg of iron and 39 mg of vitamin C. The two belong together. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods, and each of them contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
🩸 Iron
per 2 tsp. Contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
🍊 Vitamin C
per 2 tsp. Contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps the body absorb iron.
⚠️ Why Iron Matters at This Age
About 2 in 3 Indian children aged 6–59 months are anaemic. So are 59% of girls aged 15–19. Source: NFHS-5, 2019–21
Iron is one of the most common gaps in children's everyday diets, and one of the hardest to fix, because kids don't eat spinach on command. They do drink chocolate milk. Mahua Nectar Cocoa doesn't ask your child to change a habit. It upgrades the one they already love.

❓ FAQ
Where does the iron come from?
No iron is added or fortified. The 34.18 mg per 100 g is what ITC Labs measured in the finished nectar.
Does it contain refined sugar?
No. No refined sugar, no jaggery, no artificial sweeteners. It does contain natural sugars from Mahua flowers, about 10 g per 2 tsp.
Is it lower in sugar than chocolate powder?
It's a different kind of sweetness, not a sugar-free one. The difference is what comes with it: natural iron, vitamin C and just 2 ingredients, instead of refined sugar and additives.
Does it boost immunity?
Mahua Nectar Cocoa is a food, not a medicine, and no single food prevents or treats illness. Iron and vitamin C each contribute to the normal function of the immune system as part of a varied diet, and each 2 tsp serving provides 4.8 mg of iron and 39 mg of vitamin C.
Is it suitable for children?
It is made for children above 3 years, in normal food quantities: 2 tsp in milk, once or twice a day.
Does it contain caffeine?
Cocoa naturally contains small amounts of caffeine and theobromine, much less than tea or coffee.
My child already takes an iron supplement. Can they still have it?
Please check with your paediatrician, so your child's total daily iron intake is right.
Is it a health drink or supplement?
No. It is a food, made for everyday milk.
How should I store it?
Shelf life is 18 months unopened. Once opened, use within 30–45 days. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, and always use a clean, dry spoon.
