Clinically proven nutritional solution for better height of children in 2 months

suckhoedoisong – According to statistics from the 2019-2022 National Nutrition Survey of the National Institute of Nutrition, the rate of stunted children under 5 years old nationwide is about 19.6%, classified as average according to the classification of the World Health Organization.

However, the difference in stunting rates between rural and mountainous areas remains high.

With the common goal of contributing to continue supporting children’s height growth, especially in the first 5 years of life; recently, Nutricare, a prestigious national brand of Medical Nutrition in Vietnam, has launched the Smarta Grow product line with an improved formula: supplementing 1,100mg of Calcium, meeting 100% of the recommendations of the World Health Organization, enabling children’s outstanding height.

Advanced nutrition according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization and suitable for the physical condition of Vietnamese children helps them catch up with growth in height

Scientific studies show that children’s height develops remarkably in the first 1,000 days of life and puberty. In particular, the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that the first 1,000 days of life is the period that determines 60% of a child’s future height. Children can grow 25cm in the first year and 10cm each year in the next 2 years, if supplemented with proper and sufficient nutrition. After 2 years old, the growth rate is not too fast, about 6.2 cm per year, bone density also increases by about 1% per year. Therefore, parents are able to completely change their children’s “physical situation” by providing a source of quality height-enhancing nutrition that meets both the recommendations of the Vietnamese Ministry of Health and the recommendations of the World Health Organization.

Nutritionally, children need to be supplemented with Calcium, Vitamin K2 and D3 early on – as these are important nutrients in the formation of the skeleton and height development in children.

Calcium is the most important mineral in the development of bone length, creating a strong skeletal structure. However, for Calcium to be transported into the bones, D3 is needed to participate in the process of Calcium and Phosphate metabolism, allowing bone density to increase. In addition, Vitamin K2 is an important conductor, activating Osteocalcin to attach Calcium to the bones, thereby building and developing the skeleton more effectively.

The perfect combination of the trio Calcium, Vitamin K2, D3 helps Calcium attach more to the bones, reducing the risk of bone fractures while supporting optimal height development for children when they grow up.

Nutricare Smarta Grow provides nutrition suitable for the physical condition of Vietnamese children, clinically proven to help children grow taller after 2 months of use

Understanding the nutritional needs for children to develop optimal height in the first 5 years of life, Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA) and Nutricare have successfully developed the product Nutricare Smarta Grow with an improved formula, fully meeting the calcium content recommended by the US FDA and suitable for the physical condition of Vietnamese children.

Dr. David Clark, Director of Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA), commented that Calcium is the most important mineral for building strong bones and teeth. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that the daily calcium supplement for children from 1 to 3 years old is 700mg/day and for children from 4 years old and up is 1,300mg/day. A diet rich in calcium supports children’s height growth, reducing the risk of osteoporosis that can lead to bone fractures later.

Sharing more about Nutricare Smarta Grow, Dr. David said that the product has been clinically proven to be effective. The results of clinical research by the Institute of Health Science and Technology confirmed that after 2 months of using Nutricare Smarta Grow combined with a balanced diet according to instructions, children will develop height, weight and increase resistance.
