Bone growth primarily happens at the growth plates, which is where cartilage is located at the ends of longish bones such as arms, legs and fingers.

Supporting this growth window with proper nutrition, adequate sunlight, regular physical activity, healthy diet and supplementation when needed can help support bone development. It is mostly a bone consolidation investment. The stronger the bones are built at this stage, lower is the risk of fractures, osteoporosis or stunted growth later. Knowledge of how kid’s bones grow may help parents make informed decisions about their child’s diet and lifestyle. Hence, that support is important for growth in their Height, Bone Strength and Health & Vitality.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:10px;\">Sources: \u003C/span>\u003Cbr>\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:10px;\">@# Kamel-ElSayed SA, Nezwek TA, Varacallo MA.
