💡 Arginine: The Key Nutrient for Your Child’s Growth

Did you know that besides calcium, arginine is a crucial nutrient that supports children’s height and overall development?

🔹 What is Arginine?

Arginine is an amino acid found in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and soy products.
While adults can produce sufficient arginine naturally, growing children cannot, so it must be obtained through diet or nutritional supplements.

According to the World Health Organization, the recommended daily intake is roughly body weight × 100–120 mg.
For example, a child weighing 50 kg needs about 5,000–6,000 mg of arginine per day.

🔹 Why Arginine Matters

Arginine plays several important roles during a child’s growth period:

1️⃣ Supports Growth Hormone Secretion
Arginine stimulates the pituitary gland to naturally release growth hormone (GH), helping bones, muscles, and organs develop properly and promoting height growth.

2️⃣ Improves Blood Circulation
Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide (NO), which helps widen blood vessels and improve blood flow.

3️⃣ Boosts Energy and Immunity
It helps reduce fatigue and supports the child’s immune system and physical resilience.

4️⃣ Supports Tissue Repair
It assists in repairing damaged cells and promotes healthy cell regeneration.

🔹 Scientific Evidence

Study 1: Copenhagen School Children Study (2021)
Children who consumed more dietary arginine showed greater height increase over one year, suggesting a role of growth hormone in the process.

Study 2: PubMed Study, USA (2005)
Healthy adults given oral arginine showed increased growth hormone secretion, with a dose-dependent effect: higher intake leads to stronger response.

📌 These studies demonstrate that arginine is a key nutrient supporting growth and height development.

🔹 Why Diet Alone May Not Be Enough

Milk, small fish, or soy products contain some calcium and arginine,
but it’s difficult for children to get the full amount needed for optimal growth from diet alone.

This is why many parents in Japan choose nutritional supplements to ensure their children receive essential nutrients in a simple, scientific way.
