Brief Answer:
Unlikely to help

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.

I am sorry to say that,these drugs will not help you gain further height at this age.
The reason is that,at this age,epiphyses of our long bones might have already fused with the shaft.After fusion,no linear bone growth is possible.Any advertisement in this regard is to be taken as fake.

Both the tablets mentioned are nutritional supplements,and have any effect in deficiency states only.They mainly contains amino acids.You will get enough of these from a healthy diet.

Hope this will answer your query.
You are free to ask further questions if any.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
No major side effects

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

An x-ray of long bones will tell us whether it is fused or not, though at this age this is not even needed .

As I told, these drugs have no proven effects on height. Anyhow, if you are so obsessed, you can try. Even then, you can omit argiprime (which contain only one aminoacid-arginine, that can be easily synthesized from other aminoacids present in alamin and many food products).
As these are nutritional supplements, any major side effects are unlikely.

Anyhow, arginine can cause some side effects like abdominal pain, dyspepsia, diarrhea, gout, blood abnormalities, worsening of asthma, and low blood pressure.

Hope you got cleared.
Thank you.
