They're all good, though I wasn't aware
amino acids are something you can take,
they are what make up your genes after all
:?

Thanks for your reply!
Well, I do not know much about amino
acids, but they are what dna is made of
right heh?
I just wanted to make sure these
substances are safe before ordering any
more or even letting him take it.
What do you think about the vitamins...
Do you think they would work?
Im really worried about his height because
he is only 5'7-5'8 at 16 years old.
Thanks for your help again.
