| AGELESS GROWTH ABSTRACT Based on the compelling results of the independent double placebo research on AgeLess Growth, an abstract was accepted and presented in November, 2003 at the American College of Nutrition. Testimonials I have tried these homeopathic oral sprays that contain 1/1000 part real GH and have wasted a lot of time and money. With AgeLess Growth in only 30 days, I was not getting up at night, had a lot more energy and my hair was actually growing back. I have had people come up to me and tell me that I look great. Marcus Downs - Dayton, Ohio I am 46 years old and was tired so often and had no energy. After three weeks of taking AgeLess Growth (I actually took 5 pills per day vs. the prescribed 6 due to the Niacin), I had the most incredible workouts in the gym. I also noticed my sex drive was where it was when I was in my 20's and 30's. My wife is now taking it (AgeLess Growth) and is getting similar results. Regonald Butler - Los Angeles, CA I must say that I was skeptical because there are so many people selling GH products. I read up on the GPC supplement and was so impressed on the years of research behind this compound. I have lost 13 pounds in 2 months and I sleep better and now only require 7-8 hours vs 9+. Thanks AgeLess Options. Dr. Hinkes, PHD - Miami, Florida I have tested many GH products but have never seen results like my labs have seen with AgeLess Growth. This is the only product to date that I would recommend for naturally increasing GH. Tom Incledon MS, RD, LD/LN, NSCA-CPT, CSCS, RPT As an amateur body builder, I am continually looking for ways to add lean muscle mass to my body. I heard of AgeLess Growth from a friend at the gym and must say this is the single best supplement that I have ever taken to build lean muscle. I am now on a maintenance dose of 2 pills a day after two months and have not lost a pound of the lean muscle that I gained. Jay Bulgotton - Dade City, Florida Glycerophosphorylcholine and GH by Thomas Incledon It?s common knowledge that growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are some of the agents used by bodybuilders and athletes. These agents are banned from being used by athletes in most international sport federations, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Since about 1990, the use of these agents has increased tremendously because of their potential use in anti-aging therapies. Reports of gains in lean body mass and strength with concurrent loses in fat mass have created even more interest in the general public. Supplement companies, sensing the public demand for GH and IGF-1, have released all kinds of supplements that allegedly elevate these anabolic hormones. Unfortunately in most cases the claims are made while drawing the reader?s attention to studies on GH instead of research that involves the GH releasing products directly. In most cases supplements that are alleged to elevate GH and IGF-1 do not hold up to scientific scrutiny. Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Human growth hormone (hGH) is a protein hormone secreted into the blood by the anterior pituitary gland. It is the major hormone responsible for growth in humans after birth. It acts on a variety of tissues including bone, cartilage and muscle. While most people know of its anabolic actions, many don?t know that it is also involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism through interactions with other hormones [1]. Primarily two hormones produced in the hypothalamus modulate the secretion of GH: Somatostatin, and growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). GH, in turn, stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1. This is referred to as the GH/IGF-1 Axis. What is not evident from the diagram is that GH and IGF-1 exert a negative feedback on their own future production. This means that as GH and/or IGF-1 levels increase, GHRH levels will decrease, resulting in less GH/IGF-1 being produced. This makes it very important to accurately measure GH/IGF-1 levels and use the appropriate diagnosing criteria to determine if GH/IGF-1 therapy is appropriate. Giving exogenous GH or IGF-1 to people with normal levels of these hormones will result in decreased endogenous production of these hormones. A number of factors can stimulate GH, including exercise, deep sleep, hypoglycemia, fasting, a high protein meal, and the infusion of amino acids. Growth hormone was originally used in the treatment of growth hormone- deficient children. It was prepared by extraction from cadaver pituitaries and/or rhesus monkeys. High demand placed the agent in extremely short supply, so pharmaceutical companies searched out alternative methods of producing GH. Growth hormone is now produced by recombinant DNA techniques and referred to as recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). IGF-1 is a protein hormone produced by the liver in response to GH. Once produced it travels in the blood and can exert anabolic actions on a variety of tissues. It is also produced by various cells in the body and acts locally. At the local level, IGF-1 secreted by muscle cells (or other cells) can act on adjacent cells or on the cell secreting the IGF-1. It can stimulate protein synthesis resulting in an increase in cell size and/or cell number. Like GH, it can also be produced by recombinant techniques. Anti-Aging Protocols More and more physicians are now jumping on the longevity bandwagon. It provides a nice source of income for them (especially if they sell the GH) and allows them to work with higher functioning patients in an outpatient setting. This is still a relatively young area of medicine and unfortunately there are lots of inexperienced physicians practicing in this area. If you are searching for a longevity physician, find out how long the doc has been practicing and ask for references. Standardized guidelines for determining proper function of the GH/IGF-1 Axis should be followed, and ho |
