In a study conducted in the Philippines in 2003, children who had picky eating behavior and evidence of growth faltering were randomized to receive either nutrition counseling alone or nutritional counseling with nutritional supplement.
In comparison to dietary counseling alone, feeding children with PediaSure Plus increased various indicators of growth in children classified as “picky eaters”.
The use of nutritional supplements with nutrition counseling promotes catch-up growth and should play an important role in the management of picky eaters.
