Cherifer PGM 10-22 30 Capsules review

Cherifer PGM 10-22 is the teen supplement almost every Filipino parent has heard of, and it publishes its formula down to the milligram. It’s also the most expensive capsule per day in this category, and it’s worth being clear about what it can and can’t do.

The label gives CGF at 200mg and zinc at 9mg

Per capsule: chlorella growth factor (CGF) 200mg, zinc 9mg, taurine 200mg, plus vitamins A, D3, B1, B2, niacinamide, B6, B12, folic acid, vitamin C, and the minerals iron, calcium, magnesium, and copper.

Publishing those amounts matters, because most teen supplements don’t, and without them two formulas can only be compared on price.

The zinc at 9mg is the part with the clearest grounding: zinc genuinely matters for growth and development, and deficiency genuinely affects it. CGF is chlorella algae extract, and it’s the ingredient the brand is built on.

What a supplement can do about height

This deserves a straight answer, because it’s the reason most parents are reading.

Height is mostly genetics. What nutrition does is determine whether a child reaches the height their genetics allow, which means adequate overall nutrition, enough protein, enough sleep, and no untreated deficiency. A supplement can help close a nutritional gap. It cannot add height beyond a child’s genetic range, and no product sold in the Philippines is permitted to promise that it will.

So the honest framing is this: if your teenager eats poorly, a multivitamin is reasonable insurance and worth discussing with their pediatrician. If they eat well, sleep enough, and are simply shorter than their classmates, a capsule is unlikely to change the outcome, and the money may be better spent on food.

These are food supplements, not medicines.

Check what a long course costs before your teen starts

At around ₱948 as of August 31, 2026 for 30 capsules, that’s about ₱31.60 a capsule, or ₱31.60 a day at one daily. Nothing else we ranked costs more per day.

A month at that rate is roughly ₱950, and the 10-to-22 age range the product targets is twelve years long. Nobody should read that as a twelve-year commitment, but it’s worth knowing what a sustained course costs before starting one.

It comes through MedsGo and holds a 4.9 Shopee rating across 549 ratings with 2K+ sold.

The age band is narrow on purpose

10 to 22 is the window Cherifer aims this at, and the formula is dosed for it rather than being an adult tablet with a different label. That’s a point in its favor.

It also means it’s the wrong product for a younger child or an adult. Cherifer sells other lines for other ages, and an adult wanting a multivitamin should buy an adult one.

Who the teen formula is for

Buy this if you have a teenager in the age range, their pediatrician is comfortable with it, and you want a published formula from the most established brand in this niche rather than a cheaper listing that won’t say what’s inside.

Skip it if your child is outside 10 to 22, or if the budget would be better spent on their meals.
