I want to be TALLER!



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.
