Horlicks is a malted drink powder used to make a milk-based beverage. These figures describe the dry powder, not the prepared drink, and are based on the manufacturer's data. Per 100g, it provides 84g of carbohydrate, including 39g of sugars, alongside 9.4g of protein and 1910mg of calcium. It also contains several vitamins and minerals.
Carbohydrate provides energy, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The sugar and energy content are relevant for people monitoring their intake. The amount of powder used and any milk added affect the nutrient content of the prepared drink. Full nutrient figures for the powder are in the tables below.
