 Protinex, the flagship brand of Danone India, has introduced its new range of Protinex sachets to make protein consumption more accessible and affordable across India.

Catering to busy professionals, students, and homemakers, the new sachets are tailored for modern, on-the-go lifestyles. They dissolve easily in milk or water, providing a simple and hassle-free way to meet nutritional needs, whether at the office, while traveling, or at home.

With the introduction of Protinex sachets, we are taking a step forward in making high-quality protein intake more convenient for individuals, thereby supporting India’s journey towards better health and nutrition.”

Available in Chocolate and Vanilla flavors, each sachet provides 25 essential nutrients at an affordable price of INR 25. The product reinforces Danone’s mission to promote health through food by supporting overall wellbeing, muscle strength, immunity, and cognitive development.
