NuBest has now proudly taken a major step forward in pediatric nutrition science by conducting a clinical study in collaboration with Citruslabs, a leading research organization in the United States for consumer goods. The results demonstrate statistically significant improvements in height velocity, digestion, cognitive performance and more, validating NuBest's commitment to transparency and raising the industry standards for youth development. Why NuBest Took the Scientific Route In the supplement industry, it’s generally not mandatory to conduct clinical trials that demonstrate product quality and effectiveness. Sponsoring such research requires a substantial investment of time, capital, and human resources, so only a few companies are willing to enroll in this meticulous process. While NuBest has always been committed to a science-based approach in developing our products, statistically measuring the effectiveness of our height supplement lines has taken our dedication to your child's well-being even further. After 26 weeks of anticipation, the full report of our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted by Citruslabs has officially aired on the National Institutes of Health Library. Below is an exclusive look at NuBest’s research journey. Behind the Research: Clinical Study Design and Key Takeaways Why This Study Format Matters: Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled At NuBest, we conduct research for the sake of pure science. For the clinical evaluation of NuBest Tall Protein, our experts follow the golden standard of research methodology: randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [1]. To align with the RCTs’ standards, our study must be: Randomized: This process minimizes the possibility that the results occur by chance alone. Double-blind: Both participants and researchers were unaware of whether NuBest Tall Protein or the placebo was being administered, ensuring unbiased outcomes. Placebo-controlled: Participants were randomly assigned to take either NuBest Tall Protein powder or a placebo product that looked and tasted identical with no active ingredients. This approach ensures statistically meaningful results. Criteria for Participation During the participant enrollment period, the researchers have set up a list of criteria to guarantee none of the attendees have pre-existing conditions that can affect the conclusion. In total, 60 US-based parents and children aged 10-16, including males and females, participated in this study. All are: Parents who want their child to try a nutritional supplement aimed at enhancing overall health, including height growth, healthy weight maintenance, cognitive performance, immunity, and energy. Parents are willing to avoid providing their children with any additional vitamins, minerals, or herbal supplements during the study period. Parents who agree to regularly measure and record their child's height and weight throughout the trial. Children who are generally healthy, without any unmanaged chronic medical conditions. Intervention After 60 families were carefully selected, they were divided into two groups—the NuBest Group and the Placebo Group—in preparation for the study. Kids and teens in the NuBest Group consumed one scoop of NuBest Tall Protein Powder mixed with their preferred beverage each morning. Meanwhile, participants in the Placebo Group consumed one scoop of a placebo with similar taste and texture but without active ingredients. Parents from both groups were instructed to keep their children's lifestyles and dietary habits unchanged throughout the study to maintain consistency across conditions. Research Outcomes After six months of rigorous monitoring and analysis, the results exceeded expectations. Participants in the NuBest Group demonstrated significant improvements in linear growth, weight gain, digestive health, cognitive function, and energy levels. Height Growth and Weight Gain Calcium, Collagen, and Vitamins D3 and K2, scientifically linked to skeletal health, are the key ingredients in NuBest Tall Protein [2]. Through this clinical study, the benefits of these nutrients on puberty children have been demonstrated noticeably. Statistical Outcomes of Changes in Weight and Height within the NuBest Group at Month 2, Month 4, and Month 6 relative to Baseline. Green cells highlight statistically significant results. * A p-value below 0.05 is considered statistically significant that the changes observed in the study were more likely due to the product than just random chance. For example, a p-value of 0.03 means there’s only a 3% chance the result happened by luck. Participants in the NuBest group showed early and sustained improvements in both height and weight throughout the six-month study. Particularly, the children’s average weight in Month 2 had increased by 4.67%, reaching a total gain of 7.53% by Month 6. Height increases were also observed, becoming statistically significant by Month 4 with a 3.25% average gain, and continued progressing through Month 6. In comparison, the Placebo group experienced slower and less consistent changes, with weight gains only becoming significant at Month 4 and height improvements observed only at the final time point.

Green cells highlight statistically significant results The above conclusions are not just numbers on the papers but are real testimonials of the dedication to supporting children’s development with NuBest Tall supplements Cognitive Performance Besides aiding physical health, NuBest Tall Protein also fuels growing children with omega-3s from flaxseed oil because a healthy mind builds a strong body [3]. In the study, children consuming NuBest protein consistently outperformed their peers in multiple cognitive assessments, especially those measuring focus, attention, and memory. Specifically, in the Double Trouble task, designed to evaluate attention and reaction speed, the NuBest group achieved a statistically significant 1.74x improvement. This objective finding aligns with parent-reported outcomes, with 70% of parents observing noticeable improvements in their children's mental clarity and concentration throughout the study. Digestive Health Digestive improvements were another positive outcome of the study. Parents in the NuBest Group observed visible changes in their children's gut health. Comparisons of parent responses within the NuBest Group at Month 4, Month 5, and Month 6 relative to Baseline. A decrease in the mean is associated with an improvement in the parameter. Over six months, children experienced a 21% reduction in elimination-related issues and a 19.33% decrease in stomach discomfort. Improvements in digestive regularity were statistically significant by Month 4 and continued to strengthen by Month 6. While stomach aches did not disappear completely, they became less frequent over time, suggesting improved digestive comfort and better nutrient absorption. In short, the active, durable probiotics in NuBest Tall Protein positively influence digestive health, helping children absorb nutrients more effectively [4]. Energy and Overall Wellness Besides the essentials, NuBest protein shake delivers 20+ energy-boosting nutrients, which explains why increases in energy levels were among the earliest improvements reported. Visible gains were recorded as early as Month 1, with continuous and statistically significant progress through Month 6. Comparisons of parent responses regarding overall health within the NuBest Group. An increase in the mean is associated with an improvement in the parameter. Green cells highlight statistically significant results By the end of the study, energy scores had increased by 111.6%, based on a standardized 5-point evaluation scale. This steady rise indicates a consistent improvement in daily vitality, helping children feel more active, engaged, and ready to participate in school, sports, and play. In addition to energy, parents noted gradual improvements in overall health perceptions and confidence in their child’s long-term wellness, indicating that NuBest formulas contribute to a more energized and well-rounded lifestyle for children. What Do the Numbers Mean and Why Should Parents Care? After the trial, we are thrilled to share these takeaways: Height improvements are significantly observed from Month 4 of use. 88% of parents would recommend NuBest Tall Protein to friends and family. 66.67% of parents reported improved digestion in their children. 70.83% of parents observed enhanced focus. 72% noticed their kids becoming stronger with improved overall wellness. Comparisons of parent responses regarding their child’s health in the NuBest and placebo groups over six months. Blue cells highlight parameters with ≥70% positive responses. It can be challenging to find a high-quality brand that delivers results, not empty promises. Conducting this clinical study is NuBest’s way of giving back and reaffirming the commitment to global customers’ continuous support. It motivates us to continue innovating and developing premium healthcare products.
