Description
Most growth capsules stop at bone. NuBest Doctor Plus adds a second track — DHA and GABA for brain function — alongside Calcium, Collagen, D3, and K2 for teens ages 10 and up, built for the years when both skeletal growth and cognitive development are moving fast.
What's Actually in the Capsule
The formula groups 9 ingredients into three functional roles. Made in an FDA-registered, GMP and HACCP-certified U.S. facility — though it's worth knowing upfront that despite the label listing a "vegetarian capsule," NuBest's own FAQ confirms the capsule actually uses gelatin and is not vegetarian.
Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium & Collagen Hydrolysate
Calcium and Phosphorus supply the raw minerals for bone growth, while Magnesium supports how the body uses them. Collagen makes up roughly 90% of bone structure by volume, pairing with calcium to sustain both strength and flexibility rather than density alone.
Vitamin D3 & Vitamin K2
Vitamin D3 increases how much calcium and phosphorus the body actually absorbs. Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) then directs that calcium toward bones rather than arteries or soft tissue — the standard pairing behind most credible bone-support formulas.
DHA, GABA & Eucommia Bark Extract
DHA supports brain development, function, and healthy vision. GABA is included to support relaxation and sleep quality — relevant since deep sleep is when growth hormone release peaks. Eucommia Bark rounds out the formula with traditional support for bone and connective-tissue flexibility.
Growth years aren't only about bones — the same stretch of adolescence is doing a lot of work on the brain too.
Contains milk and soy. Unlike several other NuBest formulas, this one lists both as allergens — check the label carefully if your teen has either sensitivity.
Not vegetarian, despite label wording. NuBest's own FAQ confirms the capsule is gelatin-based, not vegetarian, even though the ingredient panel lists "Vegetarian Capsule" as an other ingredient — an inconsistency worth knowing about rather than assuming either way.
Don't stack it with other D3/K2/Calcium supplements. The brand specifically advises against combining Doctor Plus with other multivitamins containing the same three nutrients, since the amounts here are already calibrated to meet daily needs on their own.
How to Use It
1 capsule, twice daily
Take during or after meals for children ages 10+ and teenagers.
Can't swallow capsules?
Open the capsule and sprinkle the contents into a liquid or soft food, or switch to a chewable formula like NuBest Tall Kids or Doctor Taller Kids instead.
Give it at least 6 months
The brand's own guidance — echoed by its medical advisor — is a minimum 6-month window of consistent use, alongside a balanced diet, exercise, and sleep before 11 PM.
Where to Buy
Pricing may vary by retailer and change over time — always confirm current price before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Doctor Plus vegetarian?
No — the capsules are gelatin-based, not vegetarian, despite one ingredient line listing "Vegetarian Capsule." The formula is natural, non-GMO, and gluten-free, but not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Can my child take this with other multivitamins?
Not recommended if that multivitamin also contains Vitamin D3, K2, or Calcium — the amounts in Doctor Plus are already calibrated to cover daily needs from a supplement alone, so stacking risks exceeding a safe total.
Is this made in the USA?
Yes — manufactured in an FDA-registered facility, certified by both GMP and HACCP for quality and safety.
What if my child can't swallow capsules?
Open the capsule and sprinkle the contents into a liquid or soft food, making sure they finish the full dose. Alternatively, switch to a chewable option like NuBest Tall Kids or Doctor Taller Kids.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — a 30-day money-back guarantee applies to this and all NuBest supplements.
