Finally, look into chiropractic care for her. Chiropractic is just as essential for proprioceptive development and for joint/overall health. There are reasons top athletes like Tiger Woods, Jerome Bettis, and many former/current Vikings players utilize Chiropractic! Hope this is helpful!

also know what you're getting. Two good companies are Standard Process and Multigenics. I like SP because they are a whole food supplement which means all their ingredients are from nature not synthetically man made.

Felton- A growing young woman such as your daughter needs very appropriate care for her bone, joint, and overall health and development. When choosing vitamins be weary of store brands.

I am sitting here enjoying my protein fruit smoothie - OH MY!!!!!!
