Nutritional Growth Solutions creates nutritional supplements that are scientifically formulated by paediatric doctors, patented, and clinically proven to support growth development in children.

Their protein-shake powder was developed by physicians and nutrition experts to support and enhance diet to promote height. The formula, based on food components that are important for proper growth, has been shown in a clinical study to boost kids’ (3–9 years) height and weight, without a change in BMI percentiles.

Nutritional Growth Solutions distributes its formula globally, using diverse channels to market the shake powder under different brand names.
