Unlike the amino acid-based hGH precursor powders and drinks currently on the market, these growth factors are already intact and active - efficiently supporting the pituitary glands natural hGH production function.

CURRENT HGH SUPPLEMENTATION
Today, a variety of over-the-counter hGH supplements have enjoyed widespread use and have gained acceptance as a viable alternative to costly hGH injections and their potential higher-dose side-effects, for general health support. In order to determine the usefulness of different types of hGH supplements, it is important to understand what they contain.

Growth Hormone Precursors: Amino Acids
There are a number of dietary supplement powders, drinks, and tablets that contain large amounts of L-Arginine, L-Glutamine, and L-Ornithine, three amino acids known to stimulate the body’s own production of hGH and IGF-1^e.

Many of the companies that manufacture these supplements recommend that people take as much as 2 grams per day of each amino acid. The problem is that when taken long-term, these mega doses of amino acids lose their ability to stimulate hGH and may lead to liver toxicity. (NOTE: Anti-Aging Formulas Generator powder does not provide mega doses of amino acids)

Micro-Dilution hGH Supplements^f
Other hGH supplements containing small amounts of hGH promote objective clinical research on IGF-1 increases as evidence of absorption. However, upon careful analysis, these studies use small statistical samples showing an average 20% increase in IGF-1, an increase that occurs naturally throughout the day in responses to normal biorhythms and nutritional intake.

The proprietary micro-dilution oral spray Growth Factor-MMC system was chosen for this investigative survey, because it features a scientifically validated delivery system. The MMC delivery system encapsulates and preserves the unstable growth hormone molecule, and has been shown in animal studies to effectively deliver hGH to the body.

Stability of the Growth Factor-MMC System
Without the ability to stabilize hGH in solution over time, the hGH that may have been present at time of bottling will degrade within days. In fact, many hGH products claim to contain bio-active hGH in an alcohol base. Alcohol is known to denature the delicate hGH molecule, rendering it inactive.

The following clearly demonstrates the ability of the MMC delivery system to preserve the hGH in solution.

MMC - The Delivery Solution
HGH is comprised of 191 amino acids. Its quadruple helical structure is more complex than the double-helical structure of DNA. Indeed, hGH may be the most complex protein found in nature in terms of structure and function. Three times larger than insulin, hGH traditionally had to be injected in order to be made available to the body.

While some leading bio-technology firms have begun to develop viable oral delivery systems for insulin and hGH, arguably most dietary supplement and homeopathic companies do not have access to such technology.

^e IGF-1 or insulin-like growth factor-1 is a metabolic hormone produced by the liver and is regulated by hGH.

^f Some micro-dilution hGH supplements are registered homeopathics that contain alcohol as the carrier. Alcohol is known to denature or destroy proteins such as hGH, rendering them useless.
