No More Pills, No More Struggles: Korean Innovation Transforms How Kids Approach Growth Support
HAUTUKI GROWTH SUPPORT PATCH Korean patch Hautuki ends supplement battles. Kids manage growth support independently through bedtime application. Unlike oral supplements 60% resist, transdermal system delivers nutrients through skin over 8-10 hours. Emma Chen, 9, went from hiding at vitamin time to proudly applying patches. 'Now it's drama-free,' says Hong Kong mother. HONG KONG - Every evening at 8 PM, 9-year-old Emma Chen used to hide in her bedroom, dreading the nightly battle with her mother over growth vitamins. The familiar scene played out in households across Asia: tears, negotiations, and ultimately, a frustrated parent watching their child reluctantly swallow yet another pill. Today, Emma looks forward to bedtime. She proudly applies a small patch near her arm – a routine she now manages entirely on her own. 'I don't have to taste anything yucky anymore,' she explains, while her mother watches with visible relief. Emma's transformation represents a growing trend among families discovering Hautuki, a Korean-developed patch-based growth support system that's quietly revolutionizing how children approach their health routines. Nine-year-old Emma applies her Hautuki patch independently before bedtime - a routine she now manages entirely on her own. The Daily Battle Millions of Parents Know Too Well For parents concerned about their child's growth, the statistics paint a challenging picture. Industry research suggests that up to 60% of children regularly resist taking oral supplements, creating a cycle of stress that often defeats the purpose of growth support entirely. 'We were spending more energy fighting about vitamins than actually helping our child grow,' says Jennifer Wong, a Hong Kong mother of two. Online parent forums are filled with similar stories: children who gag at the sight of pills, families who've tried every flavored vitamin on the market, and parents who eventually give up on supplementation altogether. When Kids Take Control The breakthrough came when Custics Corporation, a Seoul-based biotechnology company, asked a different question: instead of making supplements easier for parents to give, what if children could manage their growth routine independently? Their answer was Hautuki – a transdermal patch that delivers nutrients through the skin, eliminating the need for swallowing, tasting, or parental intervention. 'When children feel ownership over their health choices, compliance becomes natural rather than forced,' explains Dr. Sarah Kim, a pediatric nutritionist who has observed the product's impact. The technology works through controlled absorption via the skin, bypassing the digestive system entirely. Children simply apply one patch before bedtime – a process most can master independently within days. The Science of Consistency Traditional oral supplements face what researchers call the 'compliance gap' – the difference between prescribed and actual intake. Even motivated families struggle to maintain perfect supplement routines, with missed doses occurring an average of 2-3 times per week. Hautuki's transdermal delivery system provides steady nutrient absorption over 8-10 hours, creating more consistent blood levels than traditional oral supplements that create peaks and valleys in nutrient availability. 'The patch doesn't just solve the compliance problem,' notes Dr. Michael Chang, a Hong Kong pediatrician. 'It actually provides more stable nutrient delivery than oral supplements, even when those are taken perfectly.' A Regional Success Story Since launching in South Korea, Hautuki has expanded across major Asian markets, with Hong Kong representing one of its fastest-growing segments. Local distributors report that word-of-mouth referrals drive much of the product's growth. 'Asian parents have always been proactive about their children's growth, but they're increasingly looking for solutions that reduce family stress while maintaining effectiveness,' says wellness industry analyst Lisa Park. " Hautuki hits both targets.' Changing the Conversation Perhaps most significantly, Hautuki is changing how families talk about growth support. Instead of viewing supplementation as something imposed by parents, children increasingly see it as a personal routine they can manage independently. 'My daughter actually reminds me when it's time to reorder patches,' laughs Maria Santos, a Hong Kong expatriate mother. 'She's taken complete ownership of her growth routine.' Child psychologists note that when children successfully manage health routines on their own, it builds confidence and establishes positive patterns for lifelong self-care. The Future of Family Health As Hautuki continues its expansion across Asia, industry observers are watching whether its success signals broader changes in pediatric health products. The emphasis on child autonomy and stress reduction represents a departure from traditional approaches. 'We're seeing the emergence of 'child-centric' health products,' explains healthcare innovation researcher Dr. James Liu. 'Companies are asking how to make children more effective at managing their own health.' For families like the Chens, the change has been transformative. Emma now views her nightly patch application as a sign of growing up, not a medical chore. 'Growth support used to be about pills, schedules, and arguments,' reflects Jennifer Wong. 'Now it's just part of life – simple, effective, and completely drama-free.' As more families discover patch-based solutions, the days of supplement struggles may soon become a thing of the past, replaced by a new generation of children who approach their health with confidence and independence.

Montana Brown reveals the bizarre health routine she swears by to 'aid digestion and reduce inflammation'
Montana Brown has revealed her bizarre health routine she swears by in an Instagram video on Friday. The former Love Island star, 29, said she uses a caster oil pack every night before bed to aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Sharing a video of herself removing the pack, Montana flashed her jaw-dropping abs. Montana captioned the post: 'Why I use a castor oil pack every night before bed? 'aids digestion, keeps my skin hydrated overnight to help with excess skin postpartum, cheap!, supports lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammation'. Montana is not the first celebrity to use the oil. In March 2021, Dame Helen Mirren told her followers on Instagram: 'Things I oil. Not for its laxative properties, but for hair, skin, nails.' The former Love Island star said she uses a caster oil pack every night before bed to aid digestion and reduce inflammation Castor oil is widely known to be an excellent natural remedy for constipation, but can also be used to benefit your hair, skin, and face. And in September last year, Kelsey Parker claimed that castor oil had changed her life and was her 'new best friend'. Kelsey, who was married to Tom Parker from The Wanted, before he tragically lost his battle with brain cancer, raved: 'I want to talk about castor oil. 'I have this organic castor oil which has become my new best friend. I was recommended castor oil by 'The Skin Angel', but basically castor oil has changed my life in such a short period of time. 'I use the castor oil as a moisturiser because I am so dry. At the moment I'm looking all nice and shiny because this is what castor oil does. 'It also promotes hair growth, so your eyelashes will grow, you can put it on your eyebrows. Kelsey added: 'Also, it's an anti-inflammatory, it's also an antioxidant and its anti-fungal.' Earlier this year Montana - who is already a mum to Jude one - welcomed her second child, Miley, with her fiancé Mark O'Connor via a home birth. Earlier this year Montana opened up about the challenges of having a home birth when her baby daughter Miley was breech She opened up about the challenges of having a home birth when her baby daughter Miley was breech. Montana said she was advised by her NHS midwives to give birth in hospital but she insisted she wanted to follow her head and heart and stay at home. The reality star enlisted the help of a private doula for her home birth, who assured her both she and her daughter were safe. Montana shared that her home birth was 'magical' but she had felt really when her waters broke due to Miley being breech, with one of the baby's legs popping out first. However she thanked her 'rock' Mark, doula Emiliana and midwife Heather for relaxing her before Miley 'flew out' two pushes later.
