Does L-Arginine make you grow taller?
I am a male and just turned 18. I am only 5'9'' and i want to be taller. Is there anything i can do or take to grow taller? I heard L-Arginine releases growth hormone, which makes you grow, especially since i am still developing. Is it safe to take L-Arginine? I have pills i bought at a vitamin store and they are 500mg. The bottle says to take one pill a day, but i heard it will only make you grow if you take high amounts of it? Should i take 2 or 3 pills a day?? Please help me someone!

The only thing you will make taller is the bank a/c of those charlatans who sold you this. Genetics determine growth patterns mainly, not ‘medicine’
Also,
L-arginine may lower blood pressure because it is involved in the formation of nitric oxide. It may also result in indigestion, nausea, and headache.
L-arginine should not be used following a heart attack. If you have a history of heart disease, consult your doctor before taking L-arginine.
Higher doses of arginine can increase stomach acid, so it may worsen heartburn, ulcers, or digestive upset cause by medications. Arginine appears to increase stomach acid by stimulating the production of gastrin, a hormone that increases stomach acid.
L-arginine may also alter potassium levels, especially in people with liver disease. People with kidney disease and those who take ACE inhibitors or potassium sparing diuretics should not use supplemental L-arginine unless they are under professional supervision. It may also alter the levels of other chemicals and electrolytes in the body, such as chloride, sodium, and phosphate.
Arginine may increase blood sugar levels, so it shouldn’t be used by people with diabetes unless under a doctor’s supervision.
Pregnant and nursing women and children should not use supplemental L-arginine, as it’s safety has not been established.
People with genital herpes should not take L-arginine because it may aggravate their symptoms.
Possible Drug Interactions
L-arginine may counteract the benefits of lysine to treat herpes
NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) or other drugs that are hard on the stomach should not be combined with L-arginine.
Drugs that alter potassium levels in the body, such as ACE inhibitors and potassium sparing diuretics.
Be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey just now i advised one of them not to ask advices from others like this, because the effect of the medicine differs from person to person, only doctors are the best to tell you.
Best contact your nearest or family doctor.

* ADVICE FOR HEIGHT
Good intake of calcium daily as found in various foodstuffs like tonned milk, banana, ragi, nachni, yogurt, my favourite nachos with cheese..
a best way i cud advice is to have milk shakes(chocolate, coffee flavoure) 2-3 times a day as an replacement for tea, coffee is a good alternative…
Good sleep aftr exercises helps ur bones to relax and expand.. Atlest 8hrs good sleep at night…
Remember food without exercises or exercises without food wont help you much.
Also there are genetics n familial relationships related to height.. i.e if either ur parents are short heighted or either ur brother , sister.. than there are little chances for increase in height…BUT keep a positive attitude follow the daily regimen of food n exercises.If you goin to gym regularly, i wud advice not to perform any weight lifting exercises… stritctly NO..
