The protein hack that can add INCHES to your height
(and why "20g protein" labels are misleading)

Most people think protein is just protein. They're dead wrong.

and it isn’t just about animal > plant protein

THREAD🧵

Here's what they don't tell you:

Not all proteins are created equal. Even different cuts of the SAME animal have completely different amino acid profiles.

That "20g protein" on your label? Useless without knowing WHICH amino acids you're getting.

this is the silent height killer

your growth plates are primarily made of 4 specific amino acids:

glycine, glutamic acid, (hydroxy)proline, alanine

except for glutamic acid, these are found in LOW amounts in regular muscle meat (chicken breast, steak, etc.)

but HIGH amounts in collagenous foods

here's the shocking math:

average person consumes only 3g of Glycine per day.

increasing Glycine intake by just 10g daily = 200% INCREASE in collagen synthesis.

if you know the role collagen plays in height growth, you’d realize how crucial this is.

Collagen is so crucial for deciding how tall you become, it composes a majority of the tissues that compose your height

30% of growth plates = collagen
40% of bones = collagen
60% of spinal discs = collagen

low glycine = CATASTROPHIC for height

The brutal truth:

Unless you're eating pig nose, chicken joints, and beef tendons DAILY, you are not getting in enough Glycine.

Your expensive grass-fed steak? Chicken thigh? Whey protein powder?

They DON'T have the amino acids your growth plates need.

Even worse..

Muscle meat, protein powder or even plant proteins don’t just LACK the amino acids your body needs to grow taller

It’s also high in the amino acid which SLOWS DOWN height growth:

Tryptophan.

When animals are exposed to a low-tryptophan diet, their biomarkers improve IMMENSELY

A low-Tryptophan diet has been shown to increase:

- serum T3
- growth plate size
- GH by 2-3fold
- size of pineal and pituitary gland

All are CRUCIAL for height

This is why smart people are turning to Beef Gelatin.

Instead of choking down plates of connective tissue and joints every day…

Mix gelatin powder with water/coffee.
Drink it.
Done.

You now have the amino acids your body needs, to grow taller.

The difference is night and day:

❌ Regular protein powder: Too high in tryptophan
❌ Chicken breast: Low glycine, proline, alanine
❌ Even quality steak: Missing the collagen precursors
✅ Beef gelatin: Loaded with growth plate amino acids

The type of protein you eat, is crucial for height

What about supplementing Glycine directly?

I love Glycine as supplement, but…

Overprocessed, tends to contain a lot of traces of industrial chemicals.
Lacks anti-inflammatory mead acid
No Alanine, (Hydroxy)proline or Glutamic acid

It’s a suboptimal variant of Beef gelatin, which is more expensive per gram

The protocol is simple:

1-2 scoops of high-quality beef gelatin daily
Mix with water or coffee
Best taken with high protein meals or during coffee breaks

Within weeks, you'll notice the difference in recovery, joint health, and probably even faster heightgrowth.

But heightgrowth is not only limited to puberty itself

The intervertrebal discs are made out of collagen for 60% and make up for around 16,5% of your total height.

Loss of Collagen in these discs is why people tend to shrink with age.

But with gelatin powder you can GAIN height by gaining Collagen in these discs by around 1 or even 2 inches.

Your genetics load the gun, nutrition pulls the trigger.

You might have incredible height potential locked in your DNA

But your flawed amino acid intake us keeping you away from your true height-potential

Don't leave inches on the table.

Your growth plates won't stay open forever. Every day you're glycine deficient is a day of lost potential.
