Sprinkles is the acclaimed micro-nutrient developed by Dr. Stanley Zlotkin at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. It comes in a paper sachet and the powder is simply “sprinkled” on food, adding vital nutrients to help combat malnutrition and promote healthy growth. It has been widely tested and proven to be very effective. To date First Steps has shipped 5-million sachets of Sprinkles to North Korea. These are being distributed through government public health care clinics to pregnant women and babies aged 6-to-24 months. Sprinkles prevent anemia, a type of malnutrition as well as rickets and other diseases. In co-operation with North Korea’s Institute of Child Nutrition, First Steps completed a two-year effectiveness/efficacy study of Sprinkles. Based on the excellent results, the Institute of Child Nutrition is eager to adopt Sprinkles as a national program.
