Vital growth


Explanation:
I think capital here is being used to express the important and essential requirements for the child's health here. It is also commonly seen in the language of medicine/nutrition.

Vital:
–adjective
1. of or pertaining to life: vital processes.
2. having remarkable energy, liveliness, or force of personality: a vital leader.
3. being the seat or source of life: the vital organs.
4. necessary to life: vital fluids.
5. necessary to the existence, continuance, or well-being of something; indispensable; essential: vital for a healthy society.
6. affecting the existence, well-being, truth, etc., of something: a vital error.
7. of critical importance: vital decisions.

Human Growth Capital


Explanation:
Clearly a slogan. You want the keep both those words with initial capitals. The comparably trendy English equivalent works in yet a third word that pushes all the right buttons: Human!

It's your child, after all. You're investing in his/her future by buying Blédilait!
