Can taking multivitamin tablets help you grow taller?

Generally, if an individual has a nutrient deficiency, appropriately supplementing with multivitamin and mineral tablets may promote height growth. However, if the individual already has adequate nutrition without any deficiencies, taking multivitamin and mineral supplements is unlikely to further increase height. The detailed analysis is as follows:

If an individual lacks certain vitamins or minerals—particularly those closely related to bone growth, such as vitamin D and calcium—supplementing with multivitamin and mineral tablets in appropriate amounts may support bone development and contribute to increased height.

However, if an individual already obtains sufficient vitamins and minerals through daily diet and does not have any obvious nutritional deficiencies, additional supplementation with multivitamin and mineral tablets is unlikely to provide further benefits for height growth.

In addition, genetic factors are the primary determinants of height. If parents are short, or if other factors affecting height—such as insufficient sleep or lack of physical activity—are present, simply taking multivitamin and mineral supplements may not achieve the desired growth outcome.

It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and regular physical activity in daily life, adopting a healthy lifestyle to comprehensively support normal height development.
