In order for their children to be outstandingly tall, parents must know these two hormones!

Children’s height is determined by both endogenous (genetics, hormones) and exogenous factors (nutrition, exercise, sleep). In particular, there are 2 special hormones that need to be stimulated to produce properly for children to increase their outstanding height.

IGF-1 hormone: Promotes bone growth

IGF-1 is a hormone that plays a role in promoting bone growth, regulating insulin levels in the blood, and supporting the body’s metabolism.

Under the stimulation of growth hormone (GH), IGF-1 hormone is produced in the liver and cartilage cells, promoting bone regeneration, helping to strengthen bones, lengthen bone ends, increase height in children. .

Research by Holly Racine (West Liberty University, USA) shows that: When IGF-1 levels are low, the growth rate of femur length decreases by 6%. The study authors assert, The hormone IGF-1 is a major mediator of bone length growth.

In various ways, IGF-1 helps bones grow longer

Not only increase bone size, IGF-1 hormone also affects bone quality. Research by Yanovski and colleagues (US National Institutes of Health) on children from 7 to 10 years old shows that, in children with high IGF-1 levels, bone mineral density and bone mineral content are better. compared with children with low IGF-1 levels.

For the elderly, research by T.Yoshida (Tulane University School of Medicine, USA) shows that IGF-1 helps prevent bone loss and osteoporosis in the elderly.

Osteocalcin hormone: Formation and maintenance of healthy bones

Osteocalcin is a hormone produced by osteoblasts that plays an essential role in the formation and maintenance of healthy bones.

According to Dr. Biljana Novkovic (Hokkaido University, Japan), Osteocalcin promotes the accumulation of calcium in the bones, is responsible for attaching calcium from the blood to the bones, helps maintain and regenerate bone tissue, helps bones grow strong and children grow taller.

Regarding the mechanism of action, Osteocalcin increases bone strength by arranging biological apatites parallel to collagen fibers in bone, preserving bone structure. When there is a lack of Osteocalcin, biological apatite is messy, breaks the link of collagen fibers, thereby reducing bone strength, making bones weaker and more fragile.

How to “stimulate” hormones IGF-1 and Osteocalcin to help children grow taller?

The special feature of IGF-1 and Osteocalcin is that both need vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 to “stimulate” the body to produce and function properly.

Research by Dr. Joseph J Lamb (USA) shows: When supplemented vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 Along with a reasonable diet combined with regular exercise, levels of IGF-1 and propeptide (one of the markers of bone turnover) in the study group increased significantly, while the placebo group decreased the number of propeptides. Dr. Spiro (University of Southampton, UK) also emphasized, Vitamin D3 supplementation significantly increased IGF-1.

With osteocalcin, vitamin D3 directly stimulates osteoblasts to produce this hormone, but the resulting osteocalcin remains inactive. When there is activation of vitamin K2, this osteocalcin converts from its inactive form to its active form, performing its duties. bringing calcium from the blood to the right place at the bone and in the correct amount, not too much, not too much. Thereby increasing bone density, making bones strong and promoting the growth of children.

Research by Dr. Van Summeren and colleagues conducted in 2009 published in the British Journal of Nutrition, showed that vitamin K2 (MK7) supplementation in healthy children increased the activation of osteocalcin, helping to strengthen bones and develop height. better.

In children and adolescents, bones are growing most vigorously. Therefore, Children need to ensure adequate amounts of vitamins D3, K2 necessary to stimulate the activity of the hormones IGF-1 and osteocalcin to promote height growth.

Supplementing with vitamins D3, K2 properly helps children to increase their outstanding height

Vitamins D3, K2 are necessary micronutrients to stimulate the production of bone growth and height hormones but are not found in many foods like calcium. Therefore, their supplementation with a prophylactic daily dose has been widely recommended.

In Viet Nam, Dimao Vitamin D3 400IU and Keovon Vitamin K2 MK7 is a duo of vitamins D3, K2 in spray form that is very popular thanks to its convenience and obvious effectiveness.

Each spray of Dimao contains 400 IU of vitamin D3, each spray of Keovon contains 18.75mcg of vitamin K2 MK7, meeting the dose needed for the bone development of children.

According to our research, Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 MK7 in this product have natural origin and is the most superior form, with strong biological activity and high bioavailability.

In particular, the spray form for Outstanding absorption efficiency thanks to the mechanism of direct absorption through the oral capillaries into the bloodstream without being affected by digestive juices like other supplements.

The product is imported genuine from Europe, safe and has a pleasant natural flavor that makes children extremely excited when supplemented.

Many children “break through” in height after using Dimao Vitamin D3 and Keovon Vitamin K2 MK7 with proper nutrition and exercise.

Thousands of additional Vietnamese parents Dimao Vitamin D3 400IU and Keovon Vitamin K2 MK7 Give your child feedback: Children are strong, healthy and develop a remarkable height after using the product regularly, combining a calcium-rich diet with rest and exercise.
