Dr. Hower, a pediatrician since 1975, created Doctor Chococo.
“I’ve been working as a pediatrician for more than 40 years. Numerous publications and my own research projects have shown that more than 60% of German of children, adolescents and adults do not reach vitamin D sufficiency. This may have serious impacts on current and future health.
Food supplies only ten percent of our vitamin D needs. The remaining 90 percent has to be provided by solar exposure. According to the available data on serum vitamin D levels, mean vitamin D sufficiency in the German population can only be achieved between June and September, if sufficient time is spent outdoors.
As a pediatrician I feel responsible for the wellbeing of my young patients and for supporting them to consume a healthy, well balanced diet to meet their nutritional needs.
My Doctor Chococo products are intended to occasionally supplement a healthy diet with a delicious combination of chocolate and milk, reducing sugar and providing Vitamin D, micro- and macronutrients.”
