I'm pretty sure many people can relate to
me in hoping to be taller!
Although I'm not that small, but I wish I
was taller :(
But when you are like me who likes to join
beauty pageants I wish I was taller.. knowing that they prefer taller girls
*sigh
Alhough we've been taught in our Anatomy
and Physiology class that growing for females end at the age of 16 (if my memory serves me right.. that is 4 years after the start of your menstruation), I never
stopped believing and trying that I can still get taller.
I would say I have tried most of the height
enhancer supplements known (commercialized) and not that known in the
Philippines, namely: Cherifer, Growth Facilitation Pill, GroTall, Grow Up,
Gloxi, Growth Balls and the first one that I can't recall the name.
I won't make claims that one is really
effective while the other is not, because lifestyle and what we eat also
affects their results. I'll plainly make descriptions, state my opinions and
state my experiences with each pill as far as my memory can recall.
Lets start with the first one that I've
tried.
1) Unfortunately, its the one I can't
remember the name anymore. It was my Aunt who gave it to my Mom so I will take
it to help me grow taller. I was still in high school then and I forgot what my age was at that time. It was a small circular tablet and there were many of
them in one pad (just in case you've tried one before same with my
description).
I think it was 100 tablets that was given
to me but I havent seen any significant change in my height.
2) Cherifer
This supplement is a bit expensive, I think
it costs 16.00+ each capsule. I took a lot of this product from high school
until I reached tertiary level but haven't seen any significant change.
3)Growth Facilitation Pill
I already graduated in college when I tried
this product. As far as I can remember, my mother bought 3-4 small plastic
container of this product. It's a bit expensive especially at my age, the
recommended dosage is 3 capsules per meal, so I have to take 9 capsules per day
(oh..my liver and kidneys). I forgot how many capsules each container contains
and they already threw the containers so I can't give concrete number but I
think it was 100 capsules each container.
This time I saw a little change with my
height and even some of my friends noticed that I grew taller.
4) GroTall
I bought this in a pharmacy in our place.
It costs 12.00 (i think) per
capsule. It is contained in a square box,
with a boy and a girl drawing on the front of the box. Haven't seen any
significant change.
5) Grow Up
My mom bought this in a Chinese store at
our city. It is not expensive, I've seen really small change with this product,
somehow.
6) Gloxi
I've seen the commercial on the television,
it was on Channel 13 in our place. It's the most expensive growth enhancer
among others. It costs almost 3,000 each box which contains 30 ampule-like and
you have to take two ampules (its like an ampule without its long neck and
you'll be using a little straw, that is incuded inside the box, to insert it to
the circle of the ampule to create a hole). I wish I can show you the pictures
I took with the Gloxi product but our laptop where I saved the photos is
already damaged :(
One box will only last for 15 days. My
mother bought me 4 boxes, because they had a promo where when you buy 4 boxes
instead of paying 11,000+ you can buy it for only 8,500.00 (big savings!). The
4 boxes were good for 2 months, but just like what they said you have to take
it continuously. Unfortunately, my mom and I didn't understand each other..I
thought I have to stop after that because 8,500 is way to big but she said how
come I didn't remind her that I was already running out of stocks (oh
my..that's memory gap, Mom --sign of aging :D )
It doesn't taste good unlike what they said
in the commercial, but its bearable.LOL!
This is way different from all of the
others that I've tried. I followed the instructions on the commercial as well
as the note that the sales lady gave me.
These are the things that I can recall:
*no fatty/ oily, salty, junk, processed
foods
*no sodas
*eat more protein-based foods
*do exercise (I didn't..hehe) I just did
some stretching
*8 hours of sleep
*drink milk
..etc.
What makes it different is that you can
really feel and see the difference. When I sleep early and I'm not burnout, my
knees ache as well as my feet. That's why it comes with 3 pain reliever cream
when I bought the 4 boxes which you can apply when your joints are aching. The
cream doesn't smell good ^___^
(When I purchased the Gloxi they also gave
me 2 facial masks, which is one of their products.)
If we'll have extra money, we'll buy Gloxi
again because its really worth the price.
7. Growth Balls
My Mom bought this and how I wish she did
not. It costs almost 100.00 each ball. But since there are 4 balls contained in
a square tin container, I have to consume all of them. You have to take 1 ball
per week, with the same do's and dont's of Gloxi, and that you have to refrain
from taking it when you have your period.
Its taste s*¢×$!!! and it felt like I was
punished for its taste and smell. I felt a little knee pain and didn't care to
evaluate its result for I don't have plans to let my Mom buy that again. T___T
.
P.S. I wrote this blog so I can help others
who are also hoping to get taller like me :) It was really time consuming to
find a product that will best suite you that's why I'm giving my testimonies to
help you save time and money and wished there was also someone who made a blog
like this, so it would've been much easier on my part and made me saved more
money.
And my statement "I have seen a
significant change" it's not merely based on a subjective one, of course, I
compared my height before and after.

testimonies feel free to share them in the comment box :)
