Kids health

Blackmores Superkids Growing Bones Gummies are a 99.9% sugar free formulation containing lactose-free calcium and a naturally derived form of vitamin D3 to help support the development of kids bones and teeth.

Bones are living tissues that are constantly growing, repairing and rebuilding. From the time we’re born, until the age of 25 our bodies build more bone than we lose. This helps us grow and develop strong skeletons that will support us throughout our lives.

Childhood and young adulthood are the key bone building years. As children grow, their bone mass increases until it reaches ‘peak bone mass’ in their late teens to early twenties, which is the greatest amount of bone a person can attain.
