Pubertal Development Support

Meaning

Pubertal development support refers to clinical and nutritional strategies aimed at ensuring the timely, orderly, and complete progression through the stages of sexual maturation in adolescents. This support is crucial for the optimal development of secondary sexual characteristics, attainment of peak bone mass, and psychological well-being. Interventions are required when pubertal timing is either precocious or delayed, or when the hormonal cascade is insufficient.
