TLDR: compared to placebo , over a 6 month period , Thai children who took 15 mg zinc from zinc biglycinate mean age 8.9 years grew 0.9 cm more
U might say it could have been the glycine not the zinc . The zinc was 25% of the zinc biglycinate , so that means it was 45 mg glycine . That is negligible compared to 2000 milligrams average glycine in diet . I chose this study instead of one useing metallic zinc because presumably the chelated zinc is better absorbed .
“The mean age was 8.9 years; baseline anthropometric data were not significant different between groups. At the end of study, children in zinc group had significantly higher gain in height (5.6±2.4 vs 4.7±1.4 cm, respectively; P=0.009) and height Z-score (0.45±0.37 vs 0.37±0.27, respectively; P=0.048) than children in control group. No significant differences of other anthropometric parameters were observed. In conclusion, zinc supplementation increased linear growth in Thai schoolaged children over a 6-month period but it had no effects on other anthropometric parameters.”
