Role of calcium, iron and phosphorus in growth: These three elements are widely distributed in our cells, bones, and are of vital importance for the formation of new cells of bone, bone marrow and haemoglobin.  Iron influences not only blood and blood vessels but also fibrous tissues of muscles, joints, gastro-intestinal tract and endocrine glands.  Phosphorus and its salts have functional, nutritional and constructual role in brain, nervous cells and whole of nervous system.  Together, they play a vital role in the growth of children.  Essentia Infantia has a balanced formulation, which stimulates the absorption of calcium, iron and phosphorus.
