According to a company representative, Nutricare's continuous recognition as a Vietnam national brand since 2018 marks the company's persistent pursuit of product quality as its foundation, emphasizing scientific research and international cooperation to develop nutritional solutions suitable for the physical condition of Vietnamese people.
Nutricare's solutions address various nutritional needs, from supporting digestion, immunity, and growth in height and weight to brain development. The company states that in-depth research for each target group and development stage helps create appropriate nutritional solutions, supporting comprehensive child development.
Nguyen Duc Minh, Nutricare's General Director, stated that continuously holding the Vietnam national brand title motivates the company to enhance product quality, invest in research, and expand international scientific cooperation. This also underscores Nutricare's responsibility to innovate and create practical value for community health.
"We steadfastly invest in science, international cooperation, and developing medical nutrition solutions suitable for Vietnamese people. Each product under the Nutricare brand aims not only to care for health but also to embody the knowledge, responsibility, and aspirations of a Vietnamese enterprise on its journey to create lasting value for society," said Minh.
Recently, Nutricare also rose to the top 5 most reputable food companies in the dairy sector for 2026. The ranking was announced by Vietnam Report Joint Stock Company (Vietnam Report).

Nutricare identifies medical nutrition as a core strategic direction, while strengthening research collaboration with international partners, notably NMNI-USA.
Through these collaborations, the company gradually applies scientific achievements to product development, aiming to address specific nutritional needs of Vietnamese people, especially malnourished children and children needing digestive and immune support.
A key technological innovation Nutricare focuses on is the application of Postbiotics in child nutrition products. This is a new approach in microbiology, utilizing preparations from inactivated microorganisms or their components, which can offer health benefits when used appropriately.
In 2023, Nutricare introduced its Metacare Opti 2+ nutritional product, applying postbiotic technology to support children's digestion, immunity, and nutrient absorption, thereby contributing to improved height and weight growth.
Building on this research foundation, the company continues to expand postbiotic application to other product lines, such as Smarta Grow Opti, which focuses on supporting height growth, and Colos24h Grow+ Opti, aimed at improving weight in children.
