Yes its true!!! I ordered these capsules back when I had no knowledge of LL with surgery and was desparately looking for ways to increase my height. My Mastercard was right in front of me and I never gave it another thought before punching in the digits and clicking SUBMIT. However, when I didn't get a receipt of acknowledgement, it struck me that I might've just thrown my money out of the window. I moved on and started planning LL surgery (which is next month) and decided to forget about it. But today, there it was, sitting right in my mailbox, a nice little package with 3 small containers of 30 capsules of Growth FlexV each. Now I am wandering if these are worth any shot at all? I am definitely going ahead with my surgery next month, but just naturally curious about these capsules as to whether or not I should try them out since I already spent nearly 300 dollars on these buggers. What are your thoughts?? Spit or swallow?

Nothing to lose unless it is poison stuff and you have already paid. However, i can guanranty you these pill wont' do anything to help you growth.. even a mm. Because i have been there and done that.. it obvious if those pill/products work as what they claim.. then the whole world wouldn't have short people like you and me. and we dont' have to go thru LL which is painful stuff.

Unfortunately, once you've stopped growing, they are an absolute waste of time. If it was as easy as to get taller as taking a few pills, no one would ever do leg lengthening

Yes, they probably make an interesting decoration, but they are not good for anything else!

Here in Asia there is a daily infomercial advertising Gloxi pills that are supposed to make you grow taller. It's funny but people throw away good money on hype and empty promises.

 I visited Philippines a few months ago and I also saw that commercial about that Gloxi Heightening drink. The testimonies are obviously fake and their "successful customers" look like former LL patients (the before/after images only showed great differences of femur and tibia length).

Yes so you too have seen the commercials for Gloxi!!! What is funny is that those commercials have been on the air for years so obviously the stuff is selling! However, efficacy is a whole different issue lol!

When I first saw that commercial, I started to laugh when they claimed that it works even after you're 30.

This is a little off-topic, but, you're an anarcho-capitalist? I'm one, too (thus my name); I didn't think I'd meet another one on this forum lol.

Another anarcho-capitalist here. I was introduced to it by listening to a lot of Stefan Molyneux. Glad too see more around these parts.

lol I have never heard it termed anarcho-capitalist before  I prefer libertarian though  still they are some good people you mentioned, don't forget to keep an eye on ron pauls son rand paul. he has been instrumental in the republican internal takeover. although technically we are not in a capitalist society so the term is technically incorrect  we have a crony capitalist society, free market died a long time ago, all we have now is sophisticated legislation and algorithms that control finance and regulation for financial control.

What you believe you will become, dead or alive. Please take your political pov else where, this is a height forum. With that said, I would like to know about the progress of this individual who take the supplement. I almost tried it but I got burned so many times to know better.
