The child is currently shorter compared to peers, so I'm thinking of supplementing something to help them grow taller. Can vitamin D help increase height?

Dr. Wang Lei
Generally, it is possible to grow taller. If the body does not lack vitamins, then even increasing vitamin D intake or consuming large amounts of vitamins will not help children grow taller. It's important to ensure adequate sleep, enhance nutrition, and engage in regular physical exercise. In daily life, if there is no deficiency, one should do more flexible exercises.
