Does my child actually need supplements?
It’s one of the most common questions we get from sports parents. Bristol City 1st Team Doctor, Thom Phillips, breaks down the essentials for youth development.
The Top Priorities:
1️⃣ Bone Health: Developing athletes are prone to bony injuries. Keeping Vitamin D and Iron levels high is crucial.
2️⃣ The 5-a-Day Rule: No, not just fruit! Aim for 5 portions of calcium-rich foods (milk, cheese, yoghurt) to support rapid growth.
3️⃣ The Age Factor: While protein and creatine are safe for 16+, a Food First approach is always the best foundation.
Don't guess when it comes to your child's health; get the facts from the pros.
