On the afternoon of 26/8, Vinamilk Optimum collaborated with the A80 Organizing Committee of Military Region 4 and Military Region 7 to distribute 80 gifts at the National Military Training Center 4 in Hanoi. Dozens of Optimum product vouchers, with a total value of 160 million VND, were presented to female soldiers from Military Region 7 and Military Region 4 participating in the parade who have young children aged 2 to 7.

A Vinamilk representative said that being away from home for months, these female soldiers are always concerned about their children receiving adequate nutrition. During this developmental stage, children need a solid foundation for their digestive system and immune health. Inspired by nutrients found in breast milk, Vinamilk Optimum—the first children's milk powder product in Vietnam—is supplemented with a formula containing 6 HMOs, a group that accounts for 58% of the total HMOs in breast milk. This formula helps children access valuable nutrients, supporting healthy digestion and boosting immunity, allowing mothers to focus on their duties.

"With these gifts from Vinamilk Optimum, we want to share with the mothers' support system so that, regardless of the circumstances, their children still receive complete care and love. Because when mothers and their support systems are at ease, the children's journey of growing up will be truly full of happiness," said Nguyen Quang Tri, Marketing Executive Director of Vinamilk.

At the gift-giving ceremony, Le Minh Phu, husband of female soldier Tran Thi Linh Chi (Special Forces Female Soldier Unit), shared that his wife has been deployed for both the A50 and A80 missions and has been away from home for over 4 months. "My two children are young, but fortunately they are well-behaved and independent, so my parents and I have less to worry about while their mother is away. When we received the gift from Vinamilk, our family was very happy that our home front is also being taken care of," he said.

In addition to giving vouchers, the program also held a lucky draw, awarding three female soldiers a special reunion with their families in Hanoi on National Day, 2/9. The three lucky female soldiers were Le Thi Minh Tam, Thi Trinh (Special Forces Female Soldier Unit), and Luu Thi Sam (Vietnamese Ethnic Militia Unit).

According to a company representative, through these activities, the brand expresses gratitude to the mothers and women who contribute to the country's important event. This is one of the important programs on the journey of affirming the company's long-term commitment. Vinamilk always accompanies Vietnamese families on their journey of raising children with quality products, achieving international certifications, and through practical actions.

With the vouchers, families can purchase Optimum milk at Vinamilk's store system. Vinamilk Optimum is a formula milk supplemented with 6 HMOs, including: 2'-FL, 3-FL, LNT, 3-SL, 6'-SL, and DFL. These components make up 58% of the total HMOs found in breast milk, with all three HMO groups supporting both digestive and immune health for babies.

As of 25/3, all Optimum Gold and Optimum Colos nutritional products and nutritional milk drinks from Vinamilk are the first products in Vietnam with an exclusive formula inspired by nutrients in breast milk with 6 HMOs (according to market research conducted by CI Research).
