Growth Supplements: What Helps, What Doesn’t

Supplements & Growth

Worth Considering (if deficient)

  • Vitamin D3
  • Calcium with meals
  • Magnesium glycinate at night
  • Zinc for low-zinc diets
  • Skip

  • "Miracle height pills"
  • Proprietary blends with no evidence
  • **Food first**. Supplements fill gaps, not replace meals.
