Is NuBest Tall Safe and Legit? Why Parents Switch to Tallori

Is NuBest Tall legit?

Yes. NuBest Tall is a real product from NuBest Nutrition. The brand sells it on its own site, nubest.com, and each product page links to iHerb. The same store also sells Doctor Taller, another growth product.

Legit does not mean right for your child. The better questions are what is on the label, how much of each nutrient you get, and whether your child will take it every day. This guide sticks to the labels.

3 NuBest Tall products compared

NuBest Tall is a family of products, not one formula. Here is what the three closest to Tallori show on their labels.

	NuBest Tall 10+	NuBest Tall 5+	NuBest Tall Gummies
Format	Capsule, 1 twice a day	Capsule, 1 twice a day	Pectin gummy, 2 a day from age 4
Ages on the label or page	10 and up, kids who drink milk daily	5 and up, kids who do not drink milk daily	2 and up, and teens
Calcium	220 mg	150 mg	100 mg
Vitamin D3	10 mcg	None listed	25 mcg
Vitamin K2	60 mcg (MK-7)	None listed	25 mcg (MK-7)
Collagen	100 mg	100 mg	None
Proprietary blend	140 mg of botanicals plus 5-HTP (Original) or GABA (New)	275 mg of herbs and animal powders	98 mg, including flax seed oil

NuBest Tall 10+

This one is sold in two versions, an Original Formula and a New Formula. Both labels show 220 mg calcium, 10 mcg vitamin D3, 60 mcg vitamin K2 as MK-7 and 100 mg bovine collagen. The 140 mg blend lists poria, eucommia, motherwort, polygonatum, Sichuan lovage and ginkgo. The Original also lists 5-HTP and uses a gelatin capsule. The New Formula lists GABA instead and uses a vegetarian capsule.

NuBest Tall 5+

The 5+ label shows 150 mg calcium and 100 mg bovine collagen. It does not list vitamin D3 or vitamin K2. Its 275 mg blend lists sea cucumber powder and velvet deer antler powder along with the herbs. If your family avoids animal ingredients, or your child has a seafood allergy, read this label closely.

NuBest Tall Gummies

The gummy label shows 0 g total sugars and 6 g sugar alcohol per 2 gummies. It is sweetened with maltitol syrup, xylitol and Rebaudioside M (from stevia). It has vitamin D3, calcium, vitamin K2, zinc and magnesium, plus B vitamins, folate, choline, iodine and selenium. Its 98 mg blend lists flax seed oil, spirulina, astragalus, L-arginine and inositol. We think it is the closest NuBest product to Tallori, since both are pectin gummies, so it is the one we compare below.

Is NuBest Tall safe?

We cannot test safety ourselves, and no label can promise it. What we can tell you is what NuBest says and what the labels show.

• NuBest says its capsules are “made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility” and certified by GMP. The gummy page says each batch is checked by Eurofins, a testing lab.
• The 10+ Original Formula lists 5-HTP, and the 5+ lists sea cucumber and deer antler powder. Tallori’s blend lists ashwagandha. Ask your pediatrician about these before you start, more so if your child takes medicine.
• NuBest Tall Gummies list 6 g of sugar alcohol per 2 gummies. Tallori also contains xylitol, a sugar alcohol, but its label does not list an amount. With either one, stick to the serving size on the label.

The same advice applies to every growth supplement, Tallori included. Count the vitamin D and calcium from every product your child takes, and check with your pediatrician first. Our guide on how to read a supplement label shows what to look for.

Is NuBest Tall FDA approved?

No, and neither is any other supplement. The FDA says it does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are sold. Makers are responsible for safety and labels. A brand can say its facility is FDA-registered. That is a registration of the building, not an approval of the product.

NuBest Tall Gummies vs Tallori: label by label

Both products are pectin gummies, and both list 0 g total sugars. Tallori is 2 gummies a day. NuBest is 2 a day from age 4, and 1 a day for ages 2 to 3. Here is the rest.

What the labels show

Neither label is “complete”. Each one makes different choices. Here is where each is stronger.

Where Tallori has more

• Calcium: 300 mg vs 100 mg per serving.
• Vitamin K2: 100 mcg vs 25 mcg, both as MK-7.
• Magnesium: 50 mg vs 5 mg.
• DHA: Tallori lists 50 mg DHA from algae oil. NuBest lists flax seed oil, which gives ALA, a plant omega-3. The NIH says the body can turn some ALA into EPA and then DHA, but only in very small amounts.
• Vitamin C: 25 mg vs none listed.
• Return window: 60 days vs 30 days.

Where NuBest has more

• Younger kids: NuBest Tall Gummies start at age 2. Tallori is for ages 5 to 18.
• B vitamins and minerals: NuBest adds B vitamins, folate, choline, iodine, selenium and a little phosphorus (15 mg). Tallori has none of these.
• More products: NuBest also sells capsules with collagen. Tallori makes one gummy.

Where they are alike

Both have 25 mcg vitamin D3 and 0 g sugar. Both use pectin, not gelatin. And both have a proprietary blend that does not list a dose for each ingredient: 98 mg in NuBest and 112.4 mg in Tallori. You cannot judge a dose you cannot see, so treat the blend ingredients in both as extras, not reasons to buy.

Does NuBest Tall work?

It depends on what you mean by work. Calcium, vitamin D and the other nutrients on these labels support normal bone growth, mostly when a child is not getting enough from food. We found no published study showing that NuBest Tall, Tallori or any other supplement makes a healthy, well fed child taller than their genes allow.

Genes set most of a child’s height range. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ HealthyChildren.org says studies suggest about 60% to 70% of differences in height are determined by parents’ height. Our guides on how to grow taller and height growth supplements cover what does and does not help. If you are worried about your child’s growth, see your pediatrician before you buy anything.
