Kids Gummy Calcium
Brand: GNC Milestones
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This supplement utilizes a synergistic approach to pediatric bone health. Vitamin D (11 mcg) acts as a hormonal regulator, facilitating the active transport of Calcium (220 mg) across the intestinal barrier into the bloodstream. Once absorbed, Calcium integrates into the hydroxyapatite matrix of bones and teeth, providing structural rigidity. Phosphorus (100 mg) binds with calcium to form this mineral complex, essential for cellular energy (ATP) and maintaining bone density. This triad ensures that dietary calcium is not wasted but effectively deposited in growing skeletal structures.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports the development of strong teeth and enamel
- Promotes healthy bone density and growth in children
- Enhances calcium absorption efficiency via Vitamin D
- Provides essential minerals for cellular energy and function
