This Simple Amino Acid Supplement Combination Produced A Small Growth Spurt – Easy to Find at Your Local Drugstore
There has been a very active and notorious male enhancement forum that many young guys have noticed in the last 2-3 years. I have personally referenced to the forum at least once, called the Good Looking Loser. The main guy who runs the website, Chris, seems to be a honest guy, who seems to be quite transparent in what he is teaching guys. I used to actually be in the Pick-Up-Artist scene myself for a while and remember seeing Chris in a David DeAngelo Program (Man Transformation) DVD where Chris is proactively trying to improve himself and was working on focusing on his goals in life. It is sort of amazing to see how far some of those guys in the Male Self-Improvement Community has progressed in just 5 years or so.
The focus of the website is focused on the same usual subjects young guys care about (attracting good looking females, improving sexual performance, increasing penis size, getting a more muscular body, improving’ one’s fashion sense, Nootropics, and how to make money quickly or Improve their professional life and reach their goals.)
Those things, I have always felt was rather easy to accomplish. Anyone with a strong enough desire, proactive attitude, and drive would be able to get all those areas of their life handled. There are some other aspects of self-improvement like body odor, bad breathe, feeling more confident, less anxiety, etc. but we didn’t care too much about those. We focus on the big stuff, the hard problems.
The one factor that that seems to get a lot of interest and comments, as well as a lot of emotions are the threads in the forum posts about how to deal with being a guy of short stature. Height is a really big deal for most men, and it might be an even more big issue for these guys who are trying to change their body to be what the Western culture thinks is super masculine.
Going to the gym, and working out would make any normal young guy…
- Loss weight that is from fat
- Gain weight in the form of muscle
- Develop stronger bodies
- Give them more energy
- Look stronger and more imposing
- Improve their stamina for sexual performance
- Make them feel good and more confident
- Make them more attractive to the opposite sex
However, the benefits of the gym may not be enough for the primary issue of short stature. There is no way a guy can just exercise their body to become taller. Muscles grow from exercise, not bones, at least not longitudinally.
I decided to just scour through the posts and forum threads yesterday and many height related issues are brought up every once in a while. There are plenty of posters who realize that they are sort of stuck in a position which they can’t do anything about.
Just imagine how frustrating it must be for any one of those success-driven young 20 something recent college graduate guys who are so focused on improving their life (fashion, body, women, etc.) but they always run into the wall of being naturally short. I would highly recommend the forum to any guys who feel like their lives are not where they dream it should be and want to accelerate their growth process. We are not affiliated with the website but it seems to genuinely try to help guys who are stuck.
The picture was taken from here. It shows that there are many guys (and girls) out there that realize the futility of trying to improve their life when there is something so blatantly obvious that sets them back which they can’t do anything about or change. Height will be something that millions of people will forever get hung up about until we find a solution (we are close though).
It was in one of those threads which a poster made a comment which made me rethink over the benefits of using an amino acid supplement combination as a possible way to increase one’s height.
The combination is….
- Ornithine – Dosage: 6 pills of the Orni-Lys-Arg Amino-Mix – No dosage info
- Lysine – Dosage: 6 pills of the Orni-Lys-Arg Amino-Mix – No dosage info
- Arginine – Dosage: 6 pills of the Orni-Lys-Arg Amino-Mix – No dosage info (Other sources say to take 10 grams of Arginine a day)
- GABA (Gamma-AminoButyric Acid) – Dosage: 3 grams per day
Refer to the picture below. It was taken from the thread Height and Weight Lifting…
(Note: We always acknowledge the possibility that any claims of height increase that is not from our website will always be subjected to scrutiny. We can’t back up these claims because the articles an stories we reference may have only worked for that one particular person. The internet is full of people who lie or stretch the truth, for whatwever reason. We are just reporting on what we find and say that this amino acid combination worked for at least 1 person who got something out of it. Maybe it might work for others)
So who can get results from this? How old do they have to be?
Answer: I suspect that the amino acid mixture will work only for people who are between the ages of 17-21, for those guys & girls who have not gained any noticeable changes in height for a few years.
If nothing else works, this amino acid represents one of the last, easy to obtain supplement combo which has a chance which almost anyone who lives close to a drug store can get for less than $30. Ornithine, Lysine, Arginine, and GABA are extremely common supplements which any normal drug store will carry for sure.
It is true that the gain is minimal, at just 1.5 cms as the guy claims. He said he went from 180 cm starting high school to 183 cm at the end. We realize that he made a height difference discrepancy. Is it 1.5 cm or 3 cm that he gained?
How much should a normal person expect to gain?
Honestly, the normal person should expect close to no results, but for certain people, who have not grown at all since maybe ages 15-16, there is usually some bit of growing left in them. By taking the right type of compound in a high dose in a rapid succession, it can shock the latent cartilage to go into one last bit of growth spurt. We are going to be realistic and say that if anyone is going to see any results, it would be maybe 1-1.5 cm at most, which is really not that much.
What is the science behind this stuff? Why does it work
I don’t know. As for the science, I don’t know why orally consuming amino acid supplements would ever work. I can’t explain it. I can only write posts showing that in the rare cases, taking high amounts of amino acid has resulted in a small growth spurt. In the last 2 weeks, I have found too unrelated cases of people ending up slightly taller from swallowing high doses of amino acid combos.
I was not a biochemistry major in college, but a chemical engineer. All I know is that Ornithine, Arginine, and Lysine are all one of the 20 main amino acid building blocks created by different nitrogen groups. From these simple amino acids, you can make every single protein in the human body, just like how the 26 letters in the alphabet can form over 100,000 different words when arranged slightly differently. As for Glutamine, I even know even less. The one resource I found says that Glutamine like Arginine increases the level of endogenous HGH in the adult body. As for GABA, I do know that GABA has been traditionally been used for helping people get calm and reduce anxiety, and has some type of effect where a neutrotransmitter gets up-regulated or something. I am not a neurologist either. I study stem cells that has chondrogenic potential, not neurogenic. I recently told a friend that for their sake, I will look into the research and potential of using stem cell technology and gene therapy for treating neurological disease.
Conclusion
This article has almost the exact same type of advice as a recent post I wrote entitled “Take This Easy To Obtain Supplement To Gain Lean Muscle, Stay Young Longer and Maybe Grow Taller“. In that post, I referenced this girl who was 19 at the time, and had not grown since she was 16. After taking about 10 grams of L-Arginine everyday for a week, she stopped taking it because she was getting nauseous. She grew an entire inch as a result.
What I do know for a fact is that Dr. Oz (yes, the one associated with Oprah) wrote on his website that eating fenugreek (found in Indian spices) and taking L-Arginine Supplements does increase the level of HGH in an adult persons system (for the ages 25-45). Arginine has been claimed by a national television doctor to increase HGH levels in adults. That is good enough evidence to me to give this claim of the amino acid-mixture some level of credibility. Maybe it might NOT increase in height for adults, which I would assume is going to be the majority of cases, but it will definitely help cut down on fat, and increase lean muscle mass, and maybe even improve one’s energy level.
The source from the previous post said that to keep up the stimulation and release of HGH levels seen when we were younger, we should be taking around…
- 10-30 grams of Arginine a day
- 2 grams of Glutamine
Here is what I am going to suggest…
Take either the amino acid combo with GABA as well as Glutamine.
So I suggest two different options/amino acid supplement combo…
Option #1:
- L-Arginine – Dosage: 10-15 grams daily for 2 weeks straight
- L-Glutamine – Dosage: 3 grams a day
You can get the L-Arginine w/ 1 gram tablets from Amazon Here! (Price: $14)
Option #2:
- 3 Amino Acid Combo (Arg-Orni-Lys) – Dosage: 6 tablets each day –
- GABA – Dosage: 3 grams a day
You can buy the Arg-Orni-Lys Combo From Amazon Here! (Price: $13)
Personally, I don’t think the GABA will do much for body remodeling, but would make people calmer and feel a drop in their anxiety level, if it works. And yes, those are Amazon affiliate links, which means that if you go through the links and buy something from there, we get around a 6-7% commission from each purchase you make.
What about the Glutamine? – I don’t know, since I have not looked deep enough into the compound. Maybe it is worth taking just to see if there is some type of additional beneficial effect which we weren’t aware of before.
Warning: Only take this combo if you are between the ages of 17-21, and have not seen any changes in height gain in the last 2-3 years. This easy to obtain supplement combo is one of the few things I have found which has more than just one anecdotal story but has some evidence backing it up. The high dosage might give the body one last bone growth push and that would be the end of any natural growth that the person will be able to go through.
As always If you don’t believe that this stuff works, then don’t buy it. There are enough people who don’t believe us and call us liars and scams and that is fine. This is the internet. We just try our best and move forward with the research.
