Height growth is mainly determined by genetics + nutrition + hormones (growth hormone, thyroid). Protein powders help with weight/muscle gain, but cannot increase height beyond genetic potential.
2. At 13 years, child is in puberty – so balanced diet, exercise, sleep are more important than supplements.
3. If height growth is very slow → may need evaluation (thyroid function, Vitamin D, calcium, growth hormone issues).

✅ Advice
1. Diet First
Encourage: milk, curd, paneer, eggs, chicken, fish, pulses, nuts, fruits, vegetables.
Adequate calories + protein (about 1.2–1.5 g/kg/day for adolescents).
2. Protein Supplements (if diet inadequate)
Safe options for teenagers (only under doctor’s guidance, with milk):
Pediasure Advance (specially for children/adolescents)
Horlicks Growth+ (10–17 yrs)
Ensure Nutritional Supplement (junior)
Whey protein isolate (unflavoured, plain) – if child is active in sports
👉 Start with 1 scoop/day with milk after breakfast or post-activity.
3. Lifestyle
Sleep: 8–9 hrs daily (growth hormone peaks at night)
Exercise: outdoor games, skipping, basketball, swimming (stimulates growth plates)
Avoid junk food & excess sugar
---
📝 Prescription-Style Plan
Rx
Pediasure Advance / Horlicks Growth+ – 1 scoop in warm milk OD × 3 months
Tab. Calcium + Vitamin D3 chewable – OD × 3 months
Outdoor activity / sports 45–60 min daily
Recheck growth chart every 6 months
---
👉 Summary for parent:
Protein powder can support weight gain if diet is poor, but height mainly depends on genes, good nutrition, sleep, and exercise. A child-specific health drink (Pediasure, Horlicks Growth+) is safer than adult whey protein.

Generally height and weight parameters are considered differently, height for age and weight for height
Height is considered according to age and weight is considered according to the height
Next Steps
So first, check BMI ( weight/height in cm *2)
If it is below than 18 you should focus on nurition
And for more details you can contact me on practo

Height n weight mostly differ when they hit puberty .
Genetics also play an important role in the height of the child.
Calculate the bmi
If he is within the normal range then there is nothing to worry abt
But if it is under the bmi value consult a pediatrician.

Hi.
Please calculate his BMI. If underweight according to standardised reference ranges, only then should you consider protein powder. Otherwise protein rich diet is enough.
Next Steps
Measure BMI.

Height is mostly determined by genetic factors. Check his body mass index, if less than 18, he needs to increase weight, not otherwise.
He can take threptin biscuits, proteinule powder 2 to 3 times daily.
He should take healthy, high protein rich diet, like eggs, fish, lentils, gram, beans, soyabean, milk and curd.
