Regarding CCA (Calcium, Cholecalciferol, and Amino acids) that is beneficial for height!
I recently heard on FM 98.3 that Japan has invented something called CCA Noto, which supposedly allows people under 55 years old to still have a chance to grow taller.
They mentioned that it is available for sale, with a bottle lasting about two months and costing 7,600 NTD.
Is there really something called CCA Noto? What are its effects? Does it truly help with height? Are there any examples from Japan? Thank you for your response!

The topic of height increase, especially in adults, is a complex one. The notion that a product like CCA Noto can help increase height in individuals under 55 years of age raises several questions regarding its efficacy and the underlying science.
First, it is essential to understand that human height is primarily determined by genetics, nutrition, and hormonal factors during the growth phases of life, particularly during childhood and adolescence. The growth plates in long bones, known as epiphyseal plates, typically close after puberty, which means that significant increases in height are unlikely once these plates have fused. For most individuals, this occurs by the late teens to early twenties. After this point, the potential for natural height increase diminishes significantly.
Regarding CCA Noto, there appears to be limited scientific evidence supporting its claims. While the product may be marketed as a height-increasing supplement, it is crucial to scrutinize the ingredients and the mechanisms by which it claims to work. Many products in the market often rely on anecdotal evidence rather than robust clinical trials.
In Japan, as in many other countries, there are numerous supplements and products that claim to enhance growth or increase height. However, the effectiveness of these products can vary widely, and many lack rigorous scientific validation. It's also important to consider that the body’s ability to grow taller is largely influenced by growth hormone levels, which can be affected by various factors, including overall health, nutrition, and lifestyle choices.
If CCA Noto contains ingredients that are purported to stimulate growth hormone production or enhance bone health, it would be essential to evaluate the scientific literature regarding those specific ingredients. For instance, some supplements may contain amino acids, vitamins, or minerals that are beneficial for overall health but do not necessarily lead to an increase in height.
Moreover, the price point of 7600 NTD for a two-month supply raises questions about the product's value and effectiveness. Consumers should be cautious about spending significant amounts on supplements that promise results that may not be achievable.
In conclusion, while the idea of increasing height in adults is appealing, it is crucial to approach products like CCA Noto with skepticism. The best approach to health and wellness, including maintaining a healthy height, is through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper medical care. If you are considering using such a product, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized advice based on your health needs and goals. They can help you assess the potential benefits and risks associated with such supplements and guide you toward evidence-based practices for maintaining overall health.
