i have done enough research to say that in high quantities, it can release hgh. its even better than alfalfa as it probably wont give you large hands and feet.

the directions are:

250 mg per 2.2 lbs of bodyweight will allow lots of hgh.

for a 170 lb man, its around 19 grams a day. take this stuff instead. its cheap and EFFECTIVE. i myself have grown from it.

Where would you get 19 g of pure and high-quality arginie per day? That makes 570 gr per month.

If you know a good source, make us know.

By the way;

*how old are you,

*how much you grew with it,

*how much did you take,

*how old were you when you grew (because if you're just 17 and then you wrote it it won't mean anything for a lot of people) and

*where did you get this information "250 mg per 2.2 lbs of bodyweight"?

Please answer the above questions for our knowledge.

You know 19 g is a very great quantity and such a grand quantity might cause serious side effects.

Finally, the greatest arginine dosage sold is 1000 mg (=1 g) per capsule with 100 capsules in a bottle and if you took 19 g of it per day, you would then finish a bottle in 5 days. So, I think this kind of dosage is even not planned or recommended by the producers themselves and should strictly be avoided.

The recommended daily dosage is 8-10 capsules (500mg) = 4-5 grams
My fitness instructor said that taking very high dosages of L-ARGININE is not healthy and should be avoided...
I have used arginine but without any satisfying result.. (even though im 16 years old)

If you go to your local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe you can easily find powdered form, and 20 grams per day is not a ridiculous amount, considering that body builders regularly take the same or even well-over that amount of isolated amino acids. The main issue with supplementing with a particular amino acid is that it may block other essential amino acids from being absorbed by the stomach. That is why it is best to take it on an empty stomach. I suggest taking it right before bed, without having eaten at least two hours prior(proven to boost hgh from UCLA study). Also taking ornithine with arginine boosts the stimulation for hgh release. The combo is also the exact amino acids that are sold at heightboosting.com. You can literally by the same tablet at the GNC for only 12 dollars with more capsules... trust me, I have bought both from the scam sight(got refund though) and the store.

HiTim. I can not find the powdered form at Vitamine Shooppe. What is the name ? how much L Ornithine you use with 20 grams of Arigine ?

I forgot to mention that L ARGININE won't work if your growth plates are fused.

Oh thanks we forgot about the growth plates... ))

By the way Tim, I also got a refund from heightboosting.com, in form of 3 more bottles for free...

Even though you talk about them "scam", do you think the pills they sell really contain that combo (750 mg arg + 250 mg orn)? I'd like to know your opinion as another user.

Rock on

But, in reality, by scam what I really meant to say was that it is way too pricey(a rip off). Maybe if you got three free bottles it is not as bad, but you can still go to a store and buy exact same thing for much cheaper. The sight also says 'results in 4 weeks', but when you actually purchase it or talk to a salesperson they say it takes 1 to 9 months to see results-- which is strange because on site it also says 4 months is one full cycle::: Finding powdered argnine isn't as easy to find as capsules, but at the Vitamin Shoppe i go to, which has a much wider selection than GNC, I found it. You can also order it offline for pretty cheap, especially compared to Heightboosting. As far as ornithine goes, the capsules usually come in combination with arginine, but it is usually 1/5th of overall aminos (meaning if you could take 20 grams of arginine and 4 grams of ornithine).

I have read the forums from some of the medical standpoints, note that doctors usually give advice that is very one sided. HGH can be dangerous, in the long run it will stunt growth, well I know most of us here are desperately trying to get the last few inches, maybe even 1/2 inch. Supplementing with argnine is extremely unlikely to affect the edocrine gland. Because it stimulates natural production of HGH, your body will not build up tolerance to it like it would to foreign growth hormone. Isolated amino acids such as arginine are also made in your body naturally, so superfelous amount will naturally leave your body. If you take too much or too suddenly, your stomach will reject it, and you may have loose stools. Compared to steroids that bodybuilders take, argnine is very insignificant.

Steroids are dangerous... Most of them stunt growth and they also cause liver cancer ! believe me...

"Exterior" HGH and arginine you say the body will reject and make you lose things actually WORK for bodybuilders that's why there's so many companies selling HGH workout products, or else there would have been none of them.

So if they work in this area, it shows they're accepted and used by the body and if the growth plates have some open place they can induce growth...

Human body is the best at regenerating itself and I cannot believe this perfect system gets blocked to any further supplementation 100% after a certain time. It would just choose the necessary one and use them and reject those it doesn't need at all.

And your body would think it needs those extra HGH and arginine if you give your body that message by exercising frequently calling their need.

so arginine can help you grow?

Generally speaking, reminding better results at younger persons and if used properly, why not? Its properties are specified very clearly on thousands of web pages on the internet. It's not an opinion it's a fact.
