Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the endocrine system as people age?Hormone production by the endocrine system declines with age in all animal species that have been tested to date. As an example, in humans, the amount of growth hormone after the age of 20 to 30 falls about 14% per decade, so that the total 24-hour growth hormone production rate is reduced to half by the age of 60. In numerical values, we produce on a daily basis about 500 micrograms at 20 years of age, 200 micrograms at 40 years, and 25 micrograms at 80 years old. "Elderly" levels are reached by age 35-40. The American Association of Endocrinology and the American College of Endocrinology suggest that hormone deficiency is an age-related event characteristically defined as a cluster of easy to recognize symptoms that include:
The above are all what are commonly referred to as "aging factors." Most likely, if you are over the age of 30 then you have begun to notice one or more of these "aging factors". This is what we normally refer to as aging, or "getting older." The good news is that although getting older is unavoidable, you do not have to age"* How are the Renuva Anti-Aging System products unique?The company believes no other non-prescription nutritional supplements on the market can perform like the Renuva products because only the Renuva Infuser and Generator products contain a patented delivery system and proprietary formulations that help support and maintain healthy endocrine system function. Some of the growth factors included in the Infuser Spray include GHRP's (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides) which are large chemical molecules that are not easily absorbed by the body when taken orally. Until now, the only way to deliver these large molecular molecules was by injection. However, by incorporating these proprietary formulations into a special patented delivery system, many of these growth factors can be delivered through a spray for the first time. * Has there been any research performed on the Renuva System?An astounding "Yes". The Company engaged noted medical teams to perform a clinical study on the Renuva Infuser Oral Spray and Renuva Generator Powder in 2005 and the results were astounding. The study was performed at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at LSU and at the Center for Nutrition and Preventive Medicine in Charlotte, NC. An Abstract of the clinical study was presented at the prestigious Experimental Biology Conference held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco April 1 – 5, 2006. The full study has been presented to professional medical journals and after publication it will be placed on the Renuva website. * Clinical Study How does the endocrine system affect the body?The endocrine system stimulates all of the systems and organs in your body. The hormones produced by this system amongst many other benefits increases your metabolism, helping to break down fat, build proteins, and create lean muscle. Because it affects almost all of the different systems of the body, it is this body system that we refer to as the "fountain of youth system" due to its youth-promoting benefits when optimally functioning. Consider it the body's "master bodily system." It is not gender-specific; meaning it affects both men and women in similar ways, and starts to decline at the same time as well. Hormones produced by this system positively affects the liver, intestines, skin, pancreas, prostate and uterus (hormonal). Additionally, it targets the heart, brain, eyes, and specific immune cells (nervous and immune). All of these organs decline in health during the aging process. Organs actually shrink in size during the aging process. It is well documented that a properly functioning endocrine system stimulates and produces hormone production. Because everyone's body chemistry is a little different, results with the Renuva System will vary depending on factors such as age, frequency of exercise, and diet. * What's in the Renuva products that affect joint health?Besides supporting hormone production throughout the body that send powerful support to the joints and muscles with the powerful amino-acid formulations in the Renuva Infuser and Generator products, the Generator product has a therapeutic dose of MSM in each serving. Besides the benefit of helping with constipation and a multitude of other side-benefits MSM has been reported to be helpful in alleviating joint and muscle pain. I've heard lots of things about MSM . What is MSM and what does it do?MSM , Methylsulfonylmethane is a type of Sulfuric Compound that is naturally present in the body. Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral based on percentage of total body weight. MSM is the active therapeutic constituent of DMSO and is also an oxidative metabolite of DMSO. Dimethyl Sulfoxide is a Sulfuric Compound originally used as an industrial solvent that since the 1960's has been recognized for various therapeutic benefits - its usage has been highly controversial. MSM is a constituent of raw Fruits, Vegetables (especially Cruciferous Vegetables), Seafoods, Meat and Milk. It is extremely volatile and is highly susceptible to loss and degradation during Food Processing. Most people do not ingest significant amounts of MSM from Food (unless the diet is composed primarily of raw Foods). The therapeutic effects of MSM are enhanced by the concurrent use of supplemental Vitamin C that is included in Renuva Generator (Vitamin C is essential for the metabolism of exogenous MSM to endogenous Sulfur). Hyperhealth, the science based encyclopedia of nutrition and natural health reports the following about MSM :
How do the Renuva products affect sleep?Better and deeper sleep is one of the first things that many people notice after taking the Renuva Anti-Aging System products. It is not uncommon for first-time users to notice a positive change the first day of use. * What are the potential benefits of using the Renuva products and how long does it take to see and feel results?Because everyone has a different physiology, the results time frame may vary for each individual. In general, many benefits will become apparent within one to two weeks of taking the product. Certain effects may be noticed immediately and within days. Many first time users experience deeper sleep the first night, awakening feeling more relaxed just from having better sleep. Users have reported feeling a "sense of well-being" they haven't felt in years. Some report they notice faster healing, improved eyesight, better hearing, and increased libido. Others note feeling stronger, and notice a change in the muscle/fat ratio, with increased muscle and decreased fat. The more significant visual results such as gray hair turning back to its original color, and the appearance of skin wrinkles decreasing occurs with some users after a few months, but some have reported these benefits in the first 4-6 weeks. Users experience an increase in energy and sharper thinking, better stamina. Some beneficial effects can take longer than others. Users should normally experience many of the beneficial effects in about 3-6 months and in some case up to 1 year to get the full benefits. Age related decline took years to show up, so it's only natural for your body to take time to repair itself. * Can I continue taking other vitamins and supplements while taking the Renuva products?Absolutely. Stay on any supplements you are currently taking. They won't negatively affect your Renuva enhancement regime. * Are the Renuva Anti-Aging System products safe and are there any side effects?Though there are no known negative side effects reported from use of the Renuva products. Some people may experience new or different sensations when they start using them. Depending upon the condition of your body and how you respond to nutritional support systems, it is possible that you may experience some new or different sensations. The body may begin expelling toxins stored in the fat tissue and organ systems, which is a form of healing process (detoxification). Sometimes this elimination process can cause temporary conditions such as tiredness, headaches, skin irritations, mild anxiety, and /or viral outbreaks, potential signs that the body has begun to heal itself. Additionally, "aches and pains" from old injuries or symptoms from a previous health condition may appear. These healing effects are only temporary sensations that usually last 3 - 7 days or longer. This may be explained as the body "feeling" renewed energy in an area where it may have had the energy depleted. If symptoms are too strong, or uncomfortable, they can easily be alleviated by decreasing amounts. When healing symptoms subside and your body gets used to the "new" energy, you can increase to the suggested dosages. Some people start with 2 sprays of Renuva Infuser and ½ scoop of Renuva Generator per day for 2 weeks and then gradually increase the amount to the recommended dosages. It is important to remember that as your body begins to repair itself, it may require more water intake to assist in the elimination of toxins. The average person should drink at least (8) glasses of water a day. Any powerful supplement has the potential to push dormant health conditions to the surface. Some people have a "flush" reaction to the Niacin (Vitamin B-3) in the Generator powder. * Do the Renuva products contain ephedra, ma huang or any other stimulants or potentially harmful ingredients?No, unlike many other nutritional products being marketed to the public, the Renuva products do not contain ephedra, ma huang or any other stimulants as ingredients, nor do they contain any other potentially harmful ingredients. * What is the best age to begin the Renuva endocrine enhancement regime?Since some aspects of endocrine system function start to decline around the age of 25, we recommend that if you are 25 or older that you begin using our products. By age 30 that level is decreasing at a rapid pace and by the late 50's endocrine function may be compromised in some individuals. With Renuva products young and old alike can testify to increased energy and looking and feeling better than they have in a long time. * Does Renuva endocrine enhancement work equally well with both men and women?Yes, Renuva endocrine enhancement works well with both men and women: As women go through menopause and somatopause (low estrogen & GH levels), they usually gain fat and cellulite on their hips, belly and legs, wrinkles, gray hair, dry skin, depression increase, decrease in self-esteem, sex drive, feminine characteristics and mental sharpness, breasts sag, muscle loses tone, skin loses luster and elasticity, hair becomes thinner, and memory, eyesight and hearing decline. Fortunately, endocrine system support through the Renuva System may help stimulate and regulate a cascade of metabolic functions, which can stall these age related problems. Men who go through andropause (low testosterone levels), and somatopause may develop large bellies, their muscles become flabby, they can become bald, skin becomes drier, wrinkles increase, depression increases, self-confidence and masculine characteristics decrease and IQ and sex drive drops. As with women, endocrine support with the Renuva System may stimulate and regulate a cascade of physiological responses, which may stall this rapid decline due to aging. * Who should not use the Renuva products?We do not recommend our supplements for children, pregnant or nursing mothers. Cancer, heart and diabetes patients must consult a physician or their health care professional before taking these products. * Can you be too old for endocrine system enhancement?Not at all, the benefits for senior citizens can be most dramatic. * Can you explain what constitutes a dietary supplement, why the Renuva products are considered a dietary supplement, and whether the Renuva products are FDA approved?In 1994, U.S. Congress signed the Dietary Supplement, Health & Education Act (DSHEA) into law. In this landmark piece of legislation, the Dietary Supplement industry was permitted to manufacture and distribute natural substances, provided that the substances did not "pose a significant threat to consumer safety." With the signing of this piece of legislation, the "burden of proof" was placed on the FDA to prove a natural substance not fit for general consumption. As such, the FDA has no approval protocol for dietary supplements. Therefore like all dietary supplements the Renuva products are not "FDA approved". * What is the difference between the two Renuva products - Infuser and Generator?We believe no other company offers a dual product endocrine nutritional enhancement system like the Renuva Anti-Aging System's Infuser oral spray and Generator powder products. When taken together in recommended dosages, the Renuva System's products may help provide nutritional support for the body and have a synergistic effect on the user's endocrine system. Unlike other products, the Renuva System and its patented and proprietary formulations deliver a double hit of stimulation to the user's body that contributes to the support and maintenance of healthy endocrine function. * What is the MMC patented technology in Renuva Infuser and why is it so important?The invention of this patented MMC oral delivery system is one of the greatest breakthroughs in biotechnology. This patented system allows for the intake of the Renuva growth factors, which heretofore has not been possible through an oral system. If large molecule proteins were swallowed, the acid in the stomach and the enzymes in the stomach, and intestines would break down the protein and render it biologically inactive. Even if this chemical alteration did not occur, the body has great difficulty in absorbing whole proteins from the mouth, stomach, and intestinal tract. MMC (Macro-Molecular Complex) is a large complex of molecules that has been designed to stabilize and deliver large molecular weight proteins to the body when taken orally. This patented proprietary system forms a matrix around the growth factors contained in the Renuva Infuser spray product, thereby stabilizing them and facilitating their delivery. Not only does the MMC deliver the growth factors, it "activates" the body's receptor sites ("the lock") so that the growth factors ("the key") can make it to their desired site. The exact composition of MMC, which is derived from all natural, non-animal sources, is a patented technology exclusively licensed to Anti-Aging Formulas, the manufacturer of the Renuva Anti-Aging System. MMC is considered to be very safe for use. It is not a known allergen, is listed on the FDA's "Generally Recognized as Safe" list and is present in only micro-dilution concentrations. * Why does Micro-Dilution of Growth Factors work in Renuva Infuser Spray?Anything taken to an extreme has a correlation to degenerative illnesses. Extreme deficiencies or excessive amounts of estrogen, testosterone, calcium, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, selenium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E have a correlation to cancer and severe degenerative illnesses. Therefore one might suppose that both low and excessive growth hormone levels would also correlate with illness. The "moderation dose" provided by the Renuva Infuser spray was designed with this in mind. Research shows that when the body receives too much of a given nutritional supplement or hormone, the gland that produces theses chemicals slows down its own natural production. By turning off the body's own natural production, the body becomes dependent on continued supplementation from outside sources. A perfect example is estrogen replacement therapy. Many practitioners advise patients to continue on estrogen replacement therapy indefinitely, because termination may result in a greater estrogen deficiency than existed prior to supplementation. Growth hormone injection therapy is no different. Fortunately, the Infuser was designed to work with your body's natural secretions, gently supporting, maintaining, and helping your body?s endocrine system to function in a healthy manner. Achieving this balance is key to the long-term success of the Renuva Infuser product. What are Growth Factors and are they different from HGH?Growth Factors comprise the common language used by the immune, nervous and hormonal systems to coordinate activities. You can think of Growth Factors as Morse Code that quickly guides a cell's DNA on how to respond to external signals with appropriate cell actions. Growth Factors are crucial agents for cellular survival, development, specialization, nutrient intake and repair, enabling a cell to be restored in the event of illness, infection, trauma or stress. It is cell signaling that helps prevent aging and heals the body from a multitude of unwanted self-observed chronic symptoms. Growth Hormone is actually in the same class of signaling proteins as Growth Factors. Researchers found that HGH uses the same unique signaling pathways characteristic in Growth Factors. Although it is just one of more than 40 growth factors, HGH is a multi-potent signaling protein that differs in structure and biological function from all other Growth Factors. HGH specifically affects targeted organs to alter metabolism in favor of burning fat and building protein. Anti-Aging Formulas Infuser's Growth Factors include GHRP's (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides) which are considered by many experts to be more powerful and effective than injectable HGH. The totality of these ingredients and those included in Renuva Generator is called the Renuva Anti-Aging Growth Factors. * Do the products require refrigeration or special handling and what is their shelf-life?Renuva Infuser spray should be kept in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. The Renuva Generator is sensitive to heat and humidity and should be stored in the refrigerator. If exposed to these elements the powder may settle or get lumpy in which case one should use a spoon or fork to break it up. There is no need to worry if this occurs, as the product does not lose any of its efficacy if it gets lumpy or settles. It is recommended that the Infuser, Generator, and Daily Balance products should be shaken before each use to make certain that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. All Renuva products have a shelf life of at least two years. Labels on the containers show the suggested expiration date.* What is the difference between the Renuva Anti-Aging System and other enhancement products?The company knows of no other company that offers a dual product endocrine enhancement system like the Renuva Anti-Aging System's Infuser oral spray and Generator powder products. When taken together in recommended dosages, the Renuva System's products provide needed nutritional support for the body and have a synergistic effect in supporting and maintaining healthy endocrine system function. Generally, other companies offer questionable endocrine system and HGH support products that have little noticeable affect on the endocrine system. Unlike other products, the Renuva System and its patented and proprietary formulations deliver a double hit of stimulation to the user's body that may help support and maintain healthy endocrine system function so users can enjoy the benefits of a properly functioning endocrine system. This may be a first in the anti-aging industry. * Can I use the Renuva System's products for a prolonged period of time and what happens if I stop?Yes, you can take the Renuva products in the recommended dosages every week for the rest of your life without fear of causing any damage to your body. Most people feel so good once they start to take the two Renuva products that they are not willing to stop using it. They don't want to lose the positive benefits they have received. You don't have to stay on the product indefinitely, but it won't hurt you if you do. Some people will take the product for four or five months, go off of it for a month or two, and then start up again. It is perfectly safe to do so. You will know what is best for you by how you look and feel. * What else can be done to enhance your endocrine system function?To maximize the effects of endocrine system function enhancement, exercise on a regular basis and include in your diet fresh fruits, vegetables and plenty of water to revitalize and enhance your performance. * I've been taking the Renuva products everyday for three weeks, but I'm not experiencing any results. Why?Users experience varying degrees of the possible benefits over different amounts of time, so don't be disappointed if you don't have immediate results. Give the products time to work and they will. It took years for you to age and this product is not an herbal stimulant where you feel the false caffeine-like effects so common in other products. The Renuva products have real endocrine system support factors that take time to work. Doctors using injectable and prescription solutions educate their patients to expect results after 3 to 6 months of use with benefits continuing to improve even two or three years after starting on the product. * Why do I have to stop taking the product a few days during the week (cycling)?The two-day rest helps the body's natural systems to work independently from the Renuva supplement stimulation. Our formulas are optimized for a two-day rest each week, so each product is packaged to deliver a 21-day supply of enhancers. * I've gotten spam email from all these companies trying to sell me HGH sprays. What is the true story about many of these HGH spray supplements?Since the first introduction of the formulation for our oral Infuser spray supplement (micro-dilution) and since the original patents were filed on the MMC in 1996, over 150 new GH products, many of which are sprays have flooded the market with amazing claims trying to cash in on the lucrative anti-aging market baby boomers have demanded. Only a fraction of these products actually claim to contain active GH and/or growth factors and state or imply they can deliver GH to the body. These products have successfully confused consumers, keeping hidden the simple fact that any doctor will confirm - HGH and many other growth factors are too large to be absorbed orally without a proven delivery method, which if discovered (and it has been) would rock the dietary supplement industry. Renuva has that patented technology. Explain why I might get a flush and an itching feeling from Niacin and why it is beneficial.If you get the "flush" and itching feelings this means that small blood vessels in your body are being expanded in size because of the Niacin (Vitamin B3, nicotinic acid). Many of your small blood vessels, called "capillaries" are so small that blood cells can go through them only in single file. Sometimes, that small passageway is clogged and blood doesn't get through at all. While the large organs of the body have blood supplied from large arteries, a great deal of your body, particularly the parts near the surface (skin and surface areas) get their ONLY supply of blood (therefore also of oxygen and food!) from these small capillaries. So, if those capillaries are not carrying the blood, then those parts of the body are not getting nourishment and oxygen. The Niacin causes these small capillaries to expand -- so they might be able to carry two or three blood cells at the same time. This is a tremendous increase in blood flow. People experience this as a reddening of the skin -- simply because there is more blood close to the surface of the body. As this blood flows in these areas the cells of the small capillaries will also be getting rid of their waste products, and often they produce "histamine" as part of that process. Histamine is another natural substance produced by every cell in the body -- when the cell is under attack, or is getting rid of toxins. Histamine causes an "itchy" feeling. Depending on when and what you eat either before or after taking Niacin, the sensation could last for 10 minutes or as long as an hour. It is not harmful or dangerous. Some people worry about it, but it is actually a sign of very healthy cleansing and improved blood flow. Once you have had the Niacin flush, usually the next day that same dosage of niacin won't create the same effect, and usually after a few more days you will have none of this sensation -- unless you increase the dosage. The benefits of Niacin are many. It is a particularly important nutrient for improving the health of the heart and for improving blood circulation. Used in high doses it has been shown to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Niacin is also a potent and vital precursor for the coenzymes that supply energy to body cells. Basically, the coenzymes of Niacin help break down and utilize proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Niacin also stimulates circulation and reduces cholesterol levels, raises HDL (good cholesterol), lowers LDL (bad cholesterol), and is important to healthy activity of the nervous system and normal brain function. Niacin supports the health of skin, tongue, and digestive tract tissues. Niacin has been used to clear the body of organic poisons, such as certain toxins and insecticides. People report more mental alertness when this vitamin is in sufficient supply. Will alcohol consumption affect my Renuva enhancement?Yes, consuming alcoholic drinks can work against proper endocrine function but drinking a few glasses of wine, beer or mixed drinks during the week should not affect your enhancement program too much as long as you drink in moderation. *
