If a teenagers's growth plates are still open,what supplements should they take to maximize growth? supplements,not the obvious "sleep and eat well"

Supplements have little or no value to someone with normal balanced nutrition. When specific deficiencies are found, selective intake of the deficient material is used. They do not increase final height and their only value comes in enriching the companies that sell them.
