How to Help Children "Reach Their Height Potential" During the Spring Growth Spurt?

Spring is a period when height growth accelerates. Scientific research indicates that children’s growth efficiency from March to May is 2 to 2.5 times higher than in autumn and winter. Recently, the "height-reaching" trend has been buzzing in mom circles! 

What Does "Reaching Height Potential" Mean? 

In the past, when discussing their children’s height, many parents vaguely expressed a hope for their children to grow taller. However, with the increasing popularity of scientific parenting concepts, parents today not only want their children to catch up with their peers in height but also strive to maximize their growth potential! 

Height Prediction Formula:

• Boy’s height = (Father’s height + Mother’s height + 13) / 2 ± 8 cm

• Girl’s height = (Father’s height + Mother’s height - 13) / 2 ± 8 cm

From the height prediction formula, we can see there is a floating range of ±8 cm. This means that children of parents with the same height could potentially have a height difference of up to 16 cm due to postnatal factors!

Scientific "height-reaching" involves leveraging postnatal interventions to tap into a child’s growth potential and strive for the maximum possible height.

What Are the Most Important Factors for Postnatal Intervention? 

Many factors influence height, but the most effective postnatal interventions are nutrition, sleep, and exercise.

Good nutrition doesn’t just mean eating more; it’s more about eating right and ensuring proper absorption. Don’t let the dream of raising a child with long legs turn into raising a child with obesity.

Nighttime is the peak period for the brain to secrete growth factors. Growth hormone acts like a commander sending out developmental signals. Ensuring stable, high-quality sleep of 8 to 10 hours every night is essential for adequate growth hormone secretion.

Exercise stimulates bones, muscles, and joints. Therefore, it’s recommended to engage in fun stretching, running, and jumping activities. You can also try toddler sports game apps, which not only encourage children to be active but also incorporate a variety of exercises to avoid muscle and joint strain caused by repetitive, monotonous training.

Don't just focus on calcium for nutritional supplementation! 

While sleep and exercise are relatively straightforward to address, let's finally talk about nutrition. When it comes to height growth, some people immediately say, "I know, it's about calcium!"

Calcium is indeed a crucial element in bones. However, the processes of absorption and skeletal transformation – turning external nutrients into growing bones – are equally important!

That's why we recommend this Life SUNLIFE Bone Health product, deeply developed to provide comprehensive nutritional support for bones, offering children more complete assistance for height growth!

Natural Milk Calcium

The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in milk is close to 2:1, which is similar to the human body's ratio. This makes it easier to digest and gentler. Therefore, natural milk calcium extracted from milk is more compatible with the body and places less burden on children!

Life Sunshine uses high-quality milk calcium extracted from New Zealand milk sources, with each sachet containing up to 188mg of calcium!

Triple Absorption Factors

Bone Health contains prebiotic FOS, which helps regulate gut microbiota and enhance intestinal motility, aiding nutrient absorption in the gut.

It also includes Vitamins A and D, which play a more targeted role in promoting calcium absorption and helping regulate calcium balance. This means they help the calcium absorbed into the bloodstream to be better utilized by the bones.

Colostrum Basic Protein (CBP)

The biggest highlight of this product is the addition of Colostrum Basic Protein (CBP). This is a precious ingredient extracted from bovine colostrum that works deeply on bone factors. It stimulates osteoblasts (bone-building cells) and inhibits osteoclasts (bone-breaking cells), genuinely aiding bone growth and reducing calcium loss.

Furthermore, Life Sunshine participated in the joint research and development of CBP as early as 2006-2008. In 2008, they innovatively applied CBP to milk calcium and launched the Bone Health product. The Beijing Capital Institute of Pediatrics conducted a two-year clinical study on this, making it a pioneer in leading a new global trend in bone nutrition!

The clinical research report from the Capital Institute of Pediatrics was published in China Medicine Guide (Vol. 10, No. 27, September 2012).

For parents aiming to support their children's height growth, CBP is the premium bone-building star. And among CBP calcium supplements,  SUNLIFE is undoubtedly the top choice! A best-selling, consumer-approved product across multiple channels!
