Ready, Set, Grow! Boost Children's Growth with Vitamin D!

Here are more reasons to give Growee® to your kids.


In recent years, parents have become more aware of the importance of proper nutrition and physical activity for their children's overall well-being. With concerns about sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy diets leading to a rise in childhood obesity, growth gaps and related health issues, many parents may look for ways to ensure that their kids stay healthy and active.

Taking supplements can be a helpful way to ensure your child gets all the essential vitamins and minerals they need to grow and thrive. Some children may have picky eating habits or dietary restrictions that prevent them from getting a well-rounded diet, but supplements can help provide the necessary nutrition for their overall development. While a balanced and varied diet is always the best approach, supplements can serve as a helpful backup plan to ensure your child's health and wellbeing.

In this post, we will delve into the different essential vitamins for kids and their key benefits.

Growee® has 100% Vitamin D !

Getting enough Vitamin D is essential for kids! The main function of Vitamin D is to help the body absorb and utilize calcium and phosphorus, which are essential minerals for building and maintaining strong bones.1 Vitamin D also plays a role in regulating the immune system, promoting healthy cell growth and division, and supporting neuromuscular function.2

Growee® contains 100% Vitamin D (based on RENI), it is also fortified with other essential growth nutrients, vitamins, and minerals such as (Chlorella Growth Factor) CGF, vitamin E, vitamin B-complex, Choline, Taurine, and Lysine.

So, whether you are looking for vitamins, minerals, or other essential nutrients, Growee® may have something to offer. With its combination of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, Growee® can be a go-to choice for parents looking to help give their kids an extra boost in vitamins, paired with a proper diet and healthy lifestyle.

Growee has 2 variants. It is available in drops for babies 7 months up to 2 years old and Syrup for kids 2 -12 years old.

B Boost: B Complex for Kids' Development
B vitamins, particularly vitamin B6 and B12, play an important role in supporting mental development as it helps the brain produce neurotransmitters, which are like little messengers that control mood, memory, and thinking.3

These vitamins also aid in digestion by supporting the production of digestive enzymes and the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.4 Additionally, B vitamins, particularly vitamin B1 and B6, are essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system, regulating the transmission of nerve impulses and supporting the function of the nerves.5

A Good Start with Choline
As a mother, you want your child to have the best possible start in life, and that's why it's important to make sure they're getting enough choline. It is crucial for a kid's brain function. Choline helps support memory, focus, and attention span, while also promoting the growth and repair of brain cells, which can help improve mental skills such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.6

Other than that, Choline plays a role in maintaining a healthy metabolism, helping to regulate fats and cholesterol to promote a healthy weight and reduce the risk of heart disease down the line.7

Lysine for Child's Calcium Absorption and Immunity

Lysine is an essential amino acid that offers a wide range of potential benefits, from supporting immune function to aiding in the absorption of calcium for strong bones and tissues.8 So, if your child is prone to cold sores, lysine may even help reduce their frequency and severity.9

Tap into the Power of Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid that is naturally present in the body and some foods. Not only can it promote heart health by improving blood lipid levels, but it can also help support healthy eyes and vision.10 If your kids are into exercising, taurine can even improve muscle function and reduce muscle fatigue.11

It may also help increase endurance and support muscle recovery by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals (harmful molecules) and antioxidants in the body which causes damage to organs and tissues and leads to illnesses.12

Help Safeguard Cells with Vitamin E
Vitamin E offers a variety of benefits that are worth exploring! Firstly, it's like a protective shield for their cells. It has antioxidant properties that safeguard cells from free radical damage, and it also enhances the kids’ immune system to fight off infections.13

Additionally, Vitamin E helps support their brain health by improving cognitive function and memory, and by protecting neurons and enhancing blood flow to the brain.14 Finally, Vitamin E plays a vital role in maintaining healthy eyesight by protecting the retina from damage.15

Boost Height and Bone Health
Bone health is no joke! Strong and healthy bones are vital for kids, not just for physical activity and mobility but also for protecting their vital organs and storing important minerals.

Luckily there is vitamin D. It swoops in to save the day by helping the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are the essential building blocks of bones.16 Without enough Vitamin D, the bones might become as weak as a soggy noodle, and no one wants that!

From its widely recognized ability to aid in calcium absorption, to its other perks, here are some of the advantages of vitamin D to the bones:

  1. Level-Ups Calcium Absorption
    Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from the food we eat, which is necessary for building and maintaining strong bones.17 
     

    The body needs calcium to keep the heart, muscles, and nerves working properly, and to help our blood clot when we get hurt.18 If we don't get enough calcium, it can lead to a condition called osteoporosis, which can make our bones weak and easy to break.19

  2. D-fends Children from Rickets
    Getting the right amount of vitamin D is especially crucial during the first two years of life, as this is when the bones undergo rapid growth and development.20
     

    Poor levels of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus can affect bone health and may lead to a condition called Rickets.21 This condition can cause a range of unpleasant symptoms, such as bone pain, poor growth, and weak bones that can even result in deformity.22

    But don't worry! The good news is that getting enough vitamin D can help prevent this condition. Some ways to make sure your little ones get enough vitamin D are encouraging them to play outside, offering them vitamin D-fortified foods like milk and cereal, and supplementing their daily diet with a vitamin D supplement.23

  3. Blueprint for Strong Bones
    Bone remodeling is a natural process that involves the removal of old bone tissue and the formation of new bone tissue.24 This process is important for maintaining healthy bones and preventing bone loss.
     

    Vitamin D helps regulate bone remodeling by stimulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the diet, the minerals responsible for skeletal mineralization.25 During mineralization, vitamin D promotes the production of osteoblasts, which are cells responsible for bone formation.26

If you want to help your kids achieve strong and healthy bones, here's a simple way to do it: make sure they get enough Vitamin D every day! This essential nutrient is crucial for bone health and growth, so your kids can enjoy an active and happy life for years to come.
