A 24-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-armed, parallel design study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Milk Basic Protein for height growth in children.

The aim of this clinical trial is to objectively demonstrate that Milk Basic Protein intake can support height growth in children, and based on the previous studies conducted Milk Basic Protein is expected to have a greater benefit than the risks including the side effects. The administration of nutritional interventions to undernourished children can promote catch-up growth more effectively in the very young. Therefore, efforts to prevent further growth faltering and promote catch-up growth should be given to children who have missed the growth.  Milk Basic Protein is a functional ingredient recognized to be may help to maintain healthy bone with in vitro studies showing increased osteoblast and chondrocyte proliferation, and animal studies showing increased bone mineral density and growth plate length. It is speculated that Milk Basic Protein can also help stimulate height growth in children. Individuals with a history of milk and dairy allergies should use caution when consuming the product. No prior clinical study has been conducted on the effect of Milk Basic Protein on children’s height growth.
