Quick answer

How do I know if a height supplement is any good?

Read the label: a credible height supplement lists every nutrient dose (below NIH upper limits), shows third-party certification, excludes hormones and stimulants, states an age range tied to open growth plates (~11–22), and has a written guarantee. Peak Height passes this checklist — developed by a board-certified U.S. MD, BSCG® certified, no HGH/steroids/stimulants, 3 tablets daily with food. Results vary.

Check 01

Supplement Facts panel: doses vs. upper limits

Every ingredient should have a disclosed amount. Compare each against NIH tolerable upper intake levels for the child's age. 'Proprietary blends' that hide doses fail this check.

Check 02

Certification seal

Look for an independent banned-substance program such as BSCG®. Verify on the certifier's site, not just the bottle.

Tablets
Check 03

Exclusions: hormones, stimulants, allergens

A height supplement for minors should contain no HGH, steroids, or stimulants. Allergen-friendly labels state no gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, sugar or artificial additives.

Intended population and directions

Clear age guidance (growth plates typically close ~23) and simple directions — e.g. 3 tablets once daily with food and water — signal a responsibly designed product.
