Although growth rates slow after the first birthday, toddlers still experience significant growth.  They won‘t have a growth spurt this big again until they are teenagers.

During this time, calcium and vitamin D are essential for growing bones.  However, the diets of many toddlers fall short of the requirements for these nutrients.  In fact, the incidence of rickets—a disease resulting from vitamin D deficiency that can cause children’s bones to become deformed—peaks in the 1- to 3-year-old age group.

PROGRESS GOLD helps your toddler build strong bones.  PROGRESS GOLD has a biofactors blend that helps ensure that your toddler absorbs calcium—it has the right amounts of vitamin D and the mineral phosphorus.  PROGRESS GOLD is also low in saturated fat, a kind of fat that can hinder calcium absorption.

Zinc is another biofactor important for growth.  If children do not have enough zinc in their diets, their growth is slowed.  Because PROGRESS GOLD is fortified with this key biofactor, it is clinically proven to improve toddlers’ zinc status.
