Horlicks

Horlicks, containing 23 vital nutrients, is clinically proven* to reduce the insufficiency of micronutrients/essential nutrients^ in children, making them Taller, Stronger and Sharper. Regular intake of Horlicks along with a proper daily diet and lifestyle leads to measurable improvements in the child’s development like more bone area, more muscles and better concentration.

It was developed by two British-born brothers William and James Horlick in the United States in 1873 and came to India with the British soldiers in World War I in 1918 as a diet supplement. Punjab, Bengal and Madras Presidencies became early adopters of Horlicks. This was a drink of the Royalty in India between 1900 – 1930 and, thereafter, well-to-do Indians took to drinking Horlicks as a family drink in the early 1940s and 1950s.

In 1960, Horlicks launched commercially, and the brand began manufacturing & marketing in India. A favourite in milk deficient regions of South and East, it became the popular family nourisher, catering to both the old and the young in the family.

Horlicks is a brand rooted in Purpose and Nourishment. Through ‘Horlicks Swastya Abhiyaan’, Horlick’s creates awareness on Nutrition reaching over 5 Mn rural women, making it the largest such programme in India.
