Answer 1

Amino acids will not make you taller. Amino acids are dervied from proteins which are injested when you eat meat or other high protein foods (tofu etc.). Amino acids are the "building blocks" of proteins and the amount of amino acids in no way drives the synthesis of proteins. While malnutrition can stunt growth, there is no scientific evidence that over consumption of AAs will make you taller. In fact, excessive protein consumption can be very tough on your kidneys. Don't buy them. If you want to get more AAs, eat some protein.

Answer 2

Any health store will have them
