I believe so. Why? Because I remember I didn’t drink any multivitamins when I was young and now, I’m only 4’10. Well, I don’t blame my dad and my lola back then but how I wish maybe that I got some supplements. But seriously, are there any medical proofs that multivitamins can do increase your child’s height?
No. As I’ve read over and over again, there aren’t any multivitamins or supplements which can guarantee on making your kids grow as tall as you may want them to be, maybe 5’5 or more since that’s our ideal height. If they are genetically made to be short, you just have to accept it. Height is controlled by a certain hormone in our body called Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and this is being secreted by the pituitary gland. You may have hard about that in your Science subject.
BUT don’t lose hope. As long as our kids haven’t reached their peak height, around 16-18 years of age, we can still do something to help them reach their FULL POTENTIAL HEIGHT. Through proper nutrition and supplements which will HELP the HGH to do its work, then our kids will have a great chance to be as tall as they should be. You don’t know if you or your husband has in your gene the height of Michael Jordan, who knows? The important thing is we did our best to give our kids the chance to that ideal height.
Currently, I am giving my kids Nutri10Plus and it has CGF or Chlorella Growth Factor. I believe it has a lot of good effects that my eldest is now taller than me and she’s only 11!
What is GCF for?
There’s one resource which lists out the many good benefits of GCF specially when it comes to increasing height:
According to this research Chlorella has “capacity to promote growth in the young which is apparently related to Chlorella ability to stimulate the healing process in the body and work against many disease stated probably due to its nucleic acid content more than anything else – since the same substances and process that accelerate growth in the young promote repair of damaged tissue in mature animals and humans. ”
What about you? What do you do to help your kids increase their height?
I remember my family is saying my younger sister didn’t grow tall because she refused sleeping in the afternoon. I’m 5’4″ and she’s 4’10”. My family is a mix of tall and short people. I believe it’s in the genes but vitamins will help.
There is no debate about this matter our body needs vitamins and when our body is nourished it can grow the way it should grow. It can even exceed the normal limit of our growth provided we take the right kind of vitamins.
I wish I has this when I was younger I am barely 5 foot tall.
I have never heard of multivitamins increasing your child’s height. Children should definitely get vitamins to help them, though!
I believe a balance diet and vitamins will do the trick… what’s challenging really is to make our children eat a balance of go, grow, glow foods.
My daughter’s currently taking Cherifer Forte with Zinc, another locally available supplement with CGF, in addition to Scott’s vitamin C pastilles. She only just started the other week though, so I can’t vouch for its effectivity yet. But I noticed her runny nose stopped a coupla days after taking Cherifer. 🙂
Our kids take multivitamins not really to improve their height because I believe they’re quiet tall already. They take it just to supplement the food that they’re eating so that they stay healthy.
My kids take Cherifer Forte 🙂 Whenever we visit their Pedia, he always compliments how tall my daughter is for her age while my son naman is just right for his age. I guess meron din syang “hiyang” factor. I mean not all kids talaga would get same results that we want which is getting taller than his/her age
im a cherifer mommy and my two year old is super tall than her age!
I don’t believe it, too. My nephew took some multivitamins to help him grow taller. I think it’s really proper diet and lots of sleep that would do the trick.
I let my kids take multivitamins to help build their immunity. I am not sure if it really helps with the height.
I’ve never connected growth and vitamins. I’d actually prefer them not be connected.
I think there is an indirect link since our bodies need nourishment to develop well. Not that they must come from a bottle alone – good diet is necessary! And enough sleep.
I think nutrition can really help kids grow taller. It’s nice that there are vitamins now that can aid in a child’s development.
Well, I guess height is really genetic…but if some vitamins can make magic, why not? 🙂
I have not thought about giving any vitamins or supplements for height. I am more concern with her apetite right now.

I took Cherifer when I was younger but didn’t grow. Hehehe. I think genes have a “say” on a child’s height, although there’s nothing wrong naman with trying diba? 🙂
I think these multivitamins can really help your child grow taller. pity me, I didn’t have the chance to take multivitamins for making taller when I was younger hahahahaha!
I am so concerned with my daughter’s height. Lol! So I bought almost all kinds of vitamins that would make her taller.
This might help a little bit to kids who are not so gifted with height. 🙂
It’s good that there are products in the market that help a child’s growth and well, I also do believe that everything will still depend on the person’s or child’s genetics; if it will work or not. And that should not dictate the effectiveness of the product as we are all genetically unique. 🙂
I’ll let my daughter try this vitamins. Thanks for sharing.
