Horlicks Kids has been made for children aged 4-11 years old with a unique serving size and vitamin mix tailored to children’s dietary requirements. Children aged 12 months and above can enjoy Horlicks’ core range, but the vitamins and minerals provided are based on an average adult requirement; we therefore recommend diluting the product for younger children. When using hot milk/water please keep out of reach of young children until at a temperature suitable for consumption. We recommend having Horlicks malted drinks as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
