No GMOs means we have tested our finished product for the presence of GMOs to ensure it contains no Genetically Modified Organisms. Our dairy-derived ingredients (whey protein concentrate and nonfat dry milk) are derived from conventionally-produced dairy from suppliers where it is common practice for dairy cows to be fed animal feeds that may contain GMO grains such as corn and soy.
A 3 year old should derive 5-20% of their calories from protein (or 1.1g/protein per kilogram of bodyweight). Children ages 4-9 should derive 10-30% of their calories from protein (or 0.95g/protein per kilogram of bodyweight).
For example, a 5.5 years old boy (the average age in our study) who is at the 10th percentile of weight and height (17kg, 106cm) and has low activity level; his energy requirement according to the DRI is 1,350kcal per day. His acceptable range for protein is 34-101 grams per day (10-30% of total energy).
The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)/Recommend Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein for children ages 9-13 years:
Females: 10-30% of calories (AMDR) or 0.95g/kg (RDA)
Males: 10-30% of calories (AMDR) or 0.95g/kg (RDA)
Protein is essential to meet the growth requirements during adolescence. When protein is consistently inadequate linear growth may decrease, sexual maturation may be delayed, and lean body mass accumulation may be reduced.
Grow Daily 3+
While our bags may look a little different on the outside, inside Grow Daily 3+ you'll find the same growth-boosting nutrition as our flagship product, Healthy Height.
Grow Daily 3+ is a whey-based nutritional shake product that through a clinical study was shown to increase height and weight (proportional to height or non-obesogenic), without increases in BMI in children ages 3-9. It is meant to be in addition to a child's regular diet to support their growth, rather than serve as a meal replacement.
Each serving size of Grow Daily 3+ contains a mixture of macronutrients: 12g high-quality whey protein, healthy fats (Sunflower oil) and carbohydrates, together with micronutrients which are known from scientific literature to contribute to growth (zinc, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin C). There is also supplemental l-arginine added, an amino acid shown to be at low levels in children with growth issues.
Growing children need a variety of nutrients in order to grow (i.e. protein, vitamin, minerals). When a child doesn’t consume an optimal diet, his/her growth will not be optimal. Grow Daily 3+ contains ingredients that are known from scientific literature to stimulate growth in children.
Adding Grow Daily 3+ to compliment a child’s diet ensures he/she is getting the nutrients their body needs for proper growth. The child growth pattern is influenced by both genetics (80%) and environment factors (20%). While nutrition has less of an influence on growth than genetics, adequate nutrition is required to ensure that a healthy child will reach his/her full growth potential.
Healthy Heights Grow Daily 3+ was created by Pediatric Endocrinologists and Nutritionists at the Schneider Children's Medical Center in Israel. Schneider Children's Medical Center's world-renowned scientists, doctors, and researchers have focused on child nutritional growth retardation, irrespective of race, religion or nationality. With your purchase of Grow Daily 3+, you are supporting the mission of Schneider Children’s Medical Center and helping children all over the world fulfill their unique potential.
In the prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, children (ages 3-9) who consumed at least 1 serving size per day, gained an additional 0.5-0.9 cm per 6-months as compared to poor consumers and children in the placebo group. In terms of percentiles, the expected height increase with consumption of Grow Daily 3+ is a 3 percentile gain.
Grow Daily 3+ was designed and tested in short, healthy, non-overweight children ages 3-9. However, since Grow Daily 3+ is just nutritious food, not medication, other children can benefit from the added nutrition for support of their growth. Children with low BMI, picky eating habits, low appetite, cystic fibrosis, ADHD, athletes, autism, and feeding issues can utilize and benefit from Grow Daily 3+.
Grow Daily 3+is a clinically studied food, not medication, so there are side effects or risks in consuming our shakes.
Grow Daily 3+ does contain milk-based ingredients, so it is not recommended for those with a dairy allergy. Grow Daily 3+ does not contain tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, soy, or egg.
Our production facility does process common allergens, but has a stringent system in place to prevent cross-contamination. All allergen ingredients are stored separately and between product runs, they swab the lines with the allergen swabs and verify its cleanliness to avoid cross contamination.
We currently do not have a dairy-free version of Grow Daily 3+ . Grow Daily 3+ formula is based on a published clinical study. The researchers looked at other sources of protein and were unable to get the same results using non-dairy sources. We understand the need for dairy-free options. Our clinical team will continue trying to find a solution for those not able to consume dairy. Our goal as a company is to help all children reach their full potential.
We recommend 1 serving (2 scoops) of Grow Daily 3+ daily, however we realize that with a busy life this might not always be possible. In the clinical study that was designed for 2 servings, children who consumed our formula AT LEAST 1 time daily saw some growth.
In our study, Grow Daily 3+ was mixed with water. We recommend mixing it with water or low-fat milk. The formula is very versatile and can also be added to milkshakes, chocolate milk, fruit smoothies, yogurt, and other yummy recipes. Since many of our customers are picky eaters or have feeding issues, we have collaborated with Registered Dietitians, Feeding Specialists, and creative moms to create yummy breakfast, snack, and special treats that utilize our shake mix to give parents even more ways to add Grow Daily 3+ to their child’s diet. Check out our blog for all these recipes and even more great resources.
We recommend consulting with your pediatrician about the use of a multivitamin while consuming Grow Daily 3+. We want to prevent children from over consuming vitamins and minerals, exceeding their recommended intakes.
The clinical study demonstrated the full desired result in 12 months, with initial results seen at the 6 month mark. Since Grow Daily 3+ is nutritious food, it can continue to be consumed beyond 1 year to supplement your child’s diet and to continue to support their growth.
Grow Daily 3+ shakes are delicious and versatile. Both our chocolate and vanilla flavors are great when made as directed with water/milk or mix them into yogurt, a fruit smoothie, or a milkshake! There are lots of great ways to mix it up to add Grow Daily 3+ to your child's diet to support their growth. We have created many yummy recipes that incorporate our shake mix that even the pickiest eaters love.
We recommend speaking with your pediatrician about appropriate serving size for children under 3 years of age. We want to prevent very young children from over-consuming vitamins and minerals when you add Grow Daily 3+ to their regular diet. Since our shake mix is just food, not medication, your pediatrician should be able to make a recommendation.
While our study looked at growth outcomes in children ages 3-9, some older children can still benefit if their growth plates are still open and active (i.e. pre or early puberty). We can't speak specifically to how much growth they could see, as we are still studying the effects of Grow Daily 3+ on growth in children 9+. When a child has progressed into puberty and is nearing the end of that stage of development, Grow Daily 3+ would likely not be able to effectively influence growth to increase their height.
Grow Daily 3+ is just nutritious food, not medication, older children can drink and benefit from the added nutrition of our delicious shakes.
We do not recommend that children who are overweight consume Grow Daily 3+ Due to the calorie-rich content of the formula, overweight children could gain additional, unneeded weight.
Grow Daily 3+ has been assigned an insurance billing code in the US (HCPT code B4160), which would facilitate the submission of claims for reimbursement to health insurers. Existence of the code does not imply or guarantee coverage or reimbursement by any health insurer.

Grow Daily 10+
Each serving size of Height Teen Boys contains a mixture of macronutrients: 18g high-quality protein from whey, healthy fats, and carbs, together with micronutrients which are known from scientific literature as related to growth (zinc, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin C).
Grow Daily Boys 10+ was formulated with the specific nutritional needs of boys 10+ in mind. The formula incorporates higher levels of macro and micronutrients needed when boys are entering puberty to support their development.
Since boys and girls have different nutrient needs to support this rapid growth, our medical team has formulated different shake mixes to meet these different nutritional needs. Grow Daily Boys 10+ utilizes the same ingredients as Grow Daily 3+, which was clinically shown to help younger children ages 3-9 grow.
A 3 year old should derive 5-20% of their calories from protein (or 1.1g/protein per kilogram of bodyweight). Children ages 4-9 should derive 10-30% of their calories from protein (or 0.95g/protein per kilogram of bodyweight).
For example, a 5.5 years old boy (the average age in our study) who is at the 10th percentile of weight and height (17kg, 106cm) and has low activity level; his energy requirement according to the DRI is 1,350kcal per day. His acceptable range for protein is 34-101 grams per day (10-30% of total energy).
No, Grow Daily Boys 10+ is meant to be added to a boys diet to supplement their regular diet to ensure they are consuming the calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients they need for regular growth and development.
The Grow Daily Boys 10+ formula is beneficial for boys who need supplemental calories and protein to support an active lifestyle and those who are seeking additional weight gain and muscle mass. Grow Daily Boys 10+ can also be used for those who generally need supplementation in their diet to fill in nutritional gaps.
Grow Daily Boys 10+ was designed to help support adolescent growth needs and should be beneficial if they are still in a period of active growth. Our medical team considers this up until the mid-point of puberty. Since Grow Daily Boys 10+ is just nutritious food, not medication, there is no harm if it is consumed even when growth has slowed or stopped for the additional added nutrition.
The boys in the study who were good consumers of the formula (consumed at least 50% of the recommended daily dose) on average saw significant increases in weight and BMI – composed of fat free mass and muscle mass.
At this time we do not have a non-dairy option available. Our researchers chose a dairy-based protein based on scientific research that shows that animal derived proteins, especially milk proteins, are more effective at supporting growth than plant-based proteins. We understand the need for dairy-free options. Our clinical team will continue trying to find a solution for those not able to consume dairy. Our goal as a company is to help all children reach their full potential.
At this time Grow Daily Boys 10+ is not covered by insurance.
Just like Grow Daily Kids, 1 serving (2 scoops) of Grow Daily Boys 10+ should be combined with 6oz of water or low-fat milk using a shaker bottle (do not mix with a spoon).
Grow Daily Boys 10+ Plain is very versatile and should be added to milkshakes, fruit smoothies, yogurt, or other yummy recipes. We have many of these creative recipes on our blog.
Grow Daily Boys 10+ was designed by pediatricians specifically for boys. We would recommend girls 10+ to use Grow Daily 3+. There is currently a study being conducted on a girls version formula to better serve the needs of adolescent girls.
