Growing Pains assists with growth spurts and associated growing pains with the key ingredients of Vitamin K2, Magnesium Sulphate and MSM.
Vitamin K2
Parents need to pay more attention to this miracle nutrient that's so crucial to the body's process of repairing bones and joints under stress. Everybody knows just how important calcium is for healthy bones, but calcium doesn't just get there all by itself - it needs vitamin K2 (and vitamin D3) to help with easy absorption and reaching bone mass . Various studies have identified children as the group most deficient in vitamin K2. Sadly, many parents have never heard of this nutrient, which contributes to its absence even in healthy Western diets. It's also a very difficult nutrient to get enough of from your diet which means one has to actively pursue it. Even so, few build their meal plans around foods such as chicken, duck or goose liver pate, or a daily intake of 3-4 large, pasture-raised eggs, or 2-3 slices of lamb liver, or emu oil for that matter. If grownups neglect a healthy daily intake of vitamin K2, it's only understandable that it will be missing from their kids' diet.
Magnesium
Too many children don't follow a magnesium-rich meal plan which makes them more vulnerable to growing pains . Magnesium is a core mineral contributing to the structural formation of bones. It also boosts bone mass during the child's early years and assists in the maintenance of joint cartilage. It further helps transport calcium and potassium across cell membranes and supports the general health of nutrient-converting cells. In fact, cells will die if there's a lack of magnesium. Moreover, magnesium has a calming effect on moods and helps combat anxiety and irritability. Such neurological benefits in itself can help take the edge off growing pains. And do take note, the more active your child, the more magnesium the body uses.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
MSM is a naturally occurring substance found in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and dairy products high in full-fat milk. For the growing child, MSM is another magic nutrient especially because it's made up of 34% sulphur - the 4th most abundant mineral in the body. For the growing child, sulphur deficiency can cause a poor immune response, slow growth, weak joints and fatigue. Studies have also confirmed that a variety of conditions are improved through MSM supplementation; such as inflammation, joint and muscle pain, oxidative stress, and antioxidant capacity, to name a few. A word of caution though; MSM is destroyed with only moderate food processing, such as heating or any type of exposure that will dry it out. It's therefore essential to stick to Growing Pains' directions for use.
