Bone growth factor

Okay kiddo, let's talk about bone growth factor.

You know how our bodies are made up of bones that helps us stand, walk and run? But did you know that bones can also grow or repair themselves if they get hurt or broken?

When we get hurt, our body releases special proteins known as bone growth factors that helps repair the bone. Think of them like special helpers that give a boost to our body's natural repair system. These helpers go to the hurt area and tell the cells around the bone to start making new bone.

So, the bone growth factor helps the bone to grow and heal faster. It's like giving our body a superpower to heal itself.

Isn't that amazing, kiddo? Our body is truly incredible and can do amazing things with the help of special helpers like bone growth factors.
