[quote=Anonymous]When my DS was late to start puberty (and everyone was zooming up past him in height, including the girls), we did go the medical route to ensure everything was okay, but I also had read a study in a legit nutritional journal comparing using hormones to jump start puberty to supplementing with vitamin A. The results indicated that vitamin A supplementation was shown to be effective. Now vitamin A can be harmful in high doses and you can't pump your kid full of it, or risk liver damage and other issues. But I did start giving DS a multi-vitamin every night that contained 100% of the RDA for vitamin A and I have to say he started puberty soon after. It's probably coincidence, and he was going to start anyway, but I thought it was worth a shot. Since OP mentioned her son may be Tanner stage 1 at 14 (so therefore hasn't started puberty), I thought I'd throw that out.[/quote]
