(Afamily) – According to UNICEF, roughly the first 1,000 days of life are the “golden period” that determines the foundation for a child’s physical growth and future height. This is also when children need a full supply of nutrients to build a foundation for comprehensive, long-term development.
A healthy digestive system – An important foundation for optimizing calcium absorption and promoting children’s height growth
A study published in BMC Pediatrics involving 1,511 Vietnamese children aged 0–48 months found that up to 10% had at least one functional gastrointestinal disorder. Regurgitation was common among infants aged 0–6 months, while functional constipation was frequently seen in children aged 7–48 months.
These seemingly familiar digestive problems not only cause discomfort in daily life but can also affect children’s nutrient absorption. Studies show that the gut microbiota plays an important role in supporting nutrient absorption and maintaining digestive health. When the digestive system functions steadily, children are better able to absorb nutrients that are important for bone and height development, such as calcium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2.
However, in the hope of helping their children grow taller, many parents still focus mainly on increasing calcium supplementation without paying enough attention to their children’s digestive foundation and absorption capacity.
In reality, consuming more calcium does not mean the body can absorb and efficiently use all of it. When absorption is not optimal, excess calcium can form poorly soluble calcium salts in the intestines, making stools drier and harder and thereby increasing the risk of constipation in children. If prolonged, this condition can further affect digestive health and the efficiency of nutrient absorption.

Therefore, to better support height growth, parents should not only provide appropriate nutrients but also pay attention to maintaining a healthy digestive system—the foundation that helps the body efficiently absorb nutrients needed for physical and height development in the early years of life.
Nutricare Smarta Grow Opti – Boost height and make your child a “superstar”
Understanding parents’ desire to care for and promote their children’s height growth, Nutricare and the Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA) successfully researched and developed Nutricare Smarta Grow Opti nutritional supplement and Nutricare Smarta Grow Opti ready-to-drink nutritional milk supplement, with a formula that meets 100% of the calcium requirement recommended by the U.S. FDA (*).

Featuring breakthrough technology, Smarta Grow Opti is additionally fortified with hydrolyzed milk protein Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP) (**). CPP acts like a “magnet” that helps the body absorb zinc and calcium and keeps calcium soluble, limiting calcium precipitation in the alkaline environment of the small intestine and thereby helping improve calcium absorption.
In addition, the K2 (MK7) and D3 duo acts like a pair of “guides,” efficiently transporting calcium from the blood into the bones, while helping strengthen bones and support children’s height development.
Applying breakthrough postbiotic technology, Smarta Grow Opti provides 20 billion postbiotic cells (***) to help strengthen immunity, combined with soluble fiber (FOS and inulin) to support a healthy digestive system, prevent constipation, and help balance children’s gut microbiota. When the digestive system functions steadily, children can better absorb important nutrients such as calcium, zinc, and vitamin D3, thereby creating a foundation for healthy and sustainable height development.
With its advanced formula, Smarta Grow Opti is expected to be a nutritional solution that helps build a solid foundation for children’s growth and height development, and is particularly suitable for children with poor digestion.
The product is available in several formats to meet different needs, including 850 g powdered milk and convenient ready-to-drink nutritional milk (110 ml and 180 ml). Parents can give it to their children at home, at school, on trips, or during outdoor activities. Its reasonable price also gives more families an additional nutritional option as they care for and support their children’s comprehensive development.
Applying U.S.-standard nutritional science for Vietnamese children
The Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA) was established in Florida, United States, with a focus on researching and applying advanced medical nutrition solutions, particularly those aligned with U.S. standards, to care for and improve the quality of life of Vietnamese families.

NMNI-USA brings together an international team of nutrition experts and scientists and collaborates with many medical organizations and leading nutrition specialists. Among them, Dr. David Clark, Director of NMNI-USA, has more than 30 years of experience in nutritional science research in the United States, Europe, and Asia. He has participated in numerous research programs and authored many scientific works published in reputable international medical journals.
This scientific research foundation and international expert team underpin the partnership between Nutricare and NMNI-USA to research and launch breakthrough nutritional products such as Smarta Grow Opti, accompanying children on their development journey.
