Sold to Sara Lee in 1984, nutritional supplement drink Akta-Vite has returned to the family of its original owners.
The drink has long been known as a nutritional supplement suitable for children, pregnant women, the sick and the elderly. Nicholas Health and Nutrition will soon relaunch an improved version of the product, “making it one of the most nutritious and delicious chocolate drinks on the market,” said Sophie Nicholas.
“Akta-Vite is already highly nutritious with nine vitamins and minerals, and gives a boost of folate, calcium, thiamine, iron, riboflavin and niacin amongst others. Also, [it is] dairy and lactose free, low in fat and has no artificial colours or flavours. Its great chocolate flavour has ensured popularity with Australian families and contributed to the brand’s success.
“We’re aiming to make it even better for the next generation of Australians.”
The product is available in Coles, Woolworths, selected independent supermarkets, cafés and hospitals.
