Nutritional Summary
The product is rated 'AVERAGE' due to a mixed nutritional profile. It is fortified with essential B-vitamins, calcium, iron, and phosphorus, and includes beneficial ingredients like millet and malted barley. However, its health score is brought down by the high added sugar content (8.8g per serving), which constitutes a significant portion of the daily recommended intake for a child. While it provides energy, a large part comes from sugar.

Marketing Claims
The claims are factually correct as the product is fortified and contains the listed ingredients. However, the overall marketing message positions it as a healthy, energy-giving drink for active children, which can be misleading given the high content of added sugar per serving. The 'Energy' claim primarily comes from sugar, which is not ideal for daily consumption.
