60 easy to swallow tablets
“Tall as a giraffe” GHR (Growth Hormone Releaser) is a special combination of amino acids and colostrum that are important for the growth and development of children. The amino acids are beneficial for releasing growth hormones, which aid in muscle development and fat metabolism. Colostrum is rich in immune and growth factors, such as Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) that may be useful for stimulating muscle growth.
Each tablet contains: L-Arginine 75mg, L-Ornithine 50mg, L-Histidine 25mg, Colostrum 20mg, Calcium (Chelate) 5mg, L-Tryptophan 5mg. This product contains tableting aids and coating colour.
Suggested Use: Children (age 3-7): Take 1 tablet twice daily; Children (age 8+): Take 2-3 tablets twice daily. Take 30 minutes before food and prior to bedtime, or as professionally recommended. Care needs to be taken when given to younger children and ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED. The tablets can be crushed and mixed with food, such as yoghurt.
