• Children grow rapidly and so do their bones. Building strong bones in childhood sets the foundation for lifelong skeletal health.
• The vast majority of adult bone mass is attained before the age of 14,¹ and peak bone mass is reached between 25-30 years of age.
• Children may require additional calcium to meet maximum bone growth.
• Vitamin D is essential for optimal bone mineralisation in children, especially during times when sunlight exposure is limited.
• Developing strong, healthy bones during childhood helps influence bone mass.²
• Vitamin D helps calcium absorption and a diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life.

• Are aged 2-13 years.

• Have limited sunlight exposure or who cover up when in the sun.
