I'm 5"7, 16 years old, male. i have recently started taking l-arginine & l orthinine, will this help increase my height?

Unlikely to matter: The growth centers controlling your final height usually start to close around 16 in males and finish by 18.Most at your height will gain another inch.If you have open growth centers (x-ray can tell) you are can grow. If your bone maturity was more like a 15 year old, you might gain 2.Special supplements do not increase your final height.
