Actual Growth Hormone. Not a precursor.

In hundreds of clinical trials over the past 8 years,GH supplementation has been scientifically shown to:

Increase Energy and Sex Drive Improve VisionLessen Wrinkles and Gray Hair Sharpen Memory and ThinkingReduce Fat and Cellulite Restore Deep SleepBuild New Muscle Lower CholesterolStrengthen the Immune System Increase Exercise PerformanceQuicken Wound Healing And Much, Much More

Since 1990, GH has been used by celebrities and the super wealthy to rejuvenate their health, theirenergy, and their youthful looks — but it has been available only by painful injections and at great cost.

Now a new oral delivery system has been developed that makes GH available to everyone at afraction of the cost of injections, and with the ease and convenience of a breath spray.

This is not sales hype, and it is not speculative theory. Clinical results provided.

New advances in the science of health and aging now promise the possibility of living to be 100 and being as healthy and vigorous as we were at 50. In the next two decades, the length and the quality of the human lifespan will be pushed to astounding new limits.

Throughout history, medical science has maintainedthat aging, along with its chronic problems, debilities,and miseries, is an unavoidable process of nature that wemust learn to live with and accept without question.Becoming old and weak, being shuffled off to the nursinghome, navigating around in a wheelchair, sufferingnumerous aches and pains, battling chronic insomnia,becoming bedridden, lethargic, and depressed -- weassume these are all part of the natural order. Of course,we are likely to be given a few drugs along the way toameliorate the symptoms (or perhaps more than a fewdrugs). However, nobody expects these drugs to reverse,or even assuage, the fundamental process of aging. Pre-venting this age-related degeneration (not to mentionreversing it) has been nothing more than a fantasy,indulged in only by health faddists and the super-rich.The rest of us reluctantly head into old age, dutifullycounting our gray hairs.

This dismal view of life is suddenly no longer valid.Science has changed everything, and it all starts with howwe look at Nature. In one model, we see Nature as goodand benevolent, as wanting to keep us young, fit andhealthy, if only we would eat right, live right, and exer-cise. However, there is another model that says that bythe time we are middle-aged, Nature is essentially donewith us. We have passed on our genetic traits to our chil-dren, raised them to maturity, and now it is time for us toget out of the way. So the inexorable decline that we call"aging" sets in that eventually culminates in our death.

Which model is correct? We think both are to someextent. Nature is both our friend and our enemy. Thewise course is to apply both theories to our ultimate ben-efit. Live well, secure optimum nutrition, remain active,and avoid the causes of disease in your life. That is thecommon sense approach to health, and we believe it willpreserve us to a great extent. However, there is no rea-son to think that it will alter or retard the fundamentalprocess of aging itself. To have any chance of doingthat, we have to look deeper at what happens when weage. If "planned obsolescence" is built into the humanbody (as apparently it is), how does it come about?There is convincing evidence that it comes about by thewithdrawal of life-preserving hormones, and chiefamong these is Growth Hormone, the most influential ofall the body’s hormones.

the most prestigious magazines in the medical world. Thestudy was conducted by Daniel Rudman, M.D., and his col-leagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Over a six-month period, they gave injections of Growth Hormone totwelve men, ranging in age from 61 to 81 years.

The results were astonishing. The men in the studyshowed such changes as increased muscular strength,bone density and skin thickness, new muscle mass and

reduced fat, improved hair quality, enhanced skintone, resurgence of energy and stamina, even reinvigo-rated sex lives. The control group achieved no signifi-cant changes; they continued to age normally.

We realize that products claiming to be youth-restorershave come down the pike many times before: Hunzawater, bee pollen, Gerovital, mega-enzymes, fetal tis-sue injections, etc. However, Growth Hormone is notin the same category as those nostrums. It is basedupon the one thing that is lacking from the promotionsof those other products: SCIENTIFIC STUDIES. Forthe past 8 years, GH has been intensely examined usingthe only kind of scientific testing methodology that hasany real merit: placebo-controlled, double blind, clini-cal trials. The evidence for its effectiveness is not mere-ly "anecdotal," i.e., derived solely from the subjectivetestimonials of users, such as J.M. from Seattle who saidit made her feel better. Such testimonials saturate thehealth promotion literature that we see every day, butthey can never stand alone.

For sure, GH's performance has plenty of ardent tes-timonials as well. However, these personal accounts

Growth Hormone is the hormone of Youth. When we areyoung, our bodies pump out huge amounts of it. But evenby age 30, production declines. By age 40, we are pro-ducing less than half as much as we did at age 20. By age60, we are producing less than 25% as much as we did atage 20. And by age 80, we are down to 5% of what we hadat age 20. Restoring GH to youthful levels is the mosteffective means known to Medical Science to retardaging.

There is an exciting new book out that is exploding offthe shelves entitled: Grow Young with HGH by Dr.Ronald Klatz, the president of the American Academy ofAnti-Aging Medicine. Listen to the opening words of Dr.Klatz:

"What if I told you, you could live to be age one hun-dred in as healthy and vigorous condition as you are now?Or if you are already suffering the ill effects of aging, youcould turn back the clock twenty years and stay that wayuntil the century mark? Would you be interested? Andwhat if that extra thirty years added to the average lifespan allowed you to live long enough to take advantage ofnew scientific breakthroughs so that your healthy func-tional life span could be extended to 120 or 130 years andbeyond? And what if the launching pad to that wonderfulprospect involved taking a substance that caused yourbody to lose unwanted fat and build muscle, regrew yourorgans, improved your heart and lung activity, made studsout of men, increased sexual pleasure in women, gaveyou the energy, sleep, and wonderful sense that the worldis your oyster? Would you say, 'What is this substanceand how can I get some?'" (p. 3)

Growth Hormone (known as GH or HGH) is thatyouth-restoring substance. GH is considered to be the"master hormone" of the body. It directs and supports thefunctions of every other gland and organ. Clinical stud-ies conducted over the past eight years by doctors andresearchers at A4M have demonstrated that GH depletionis a major cause of aging and the vast array of ailmentsand infirmities that go along with it. Replenishment ofGH as we grow older has the potential to radically “slowthe aging clock” and maintain far higher levels of vitalitythan ever thought possible.

The story of this remarkable hormone burst upon thescene in the summer of 1990 in a decisive clinical studypublished in the New England Journal of Medicine, one of

are backed up by irrefutable scientific evidence. Noother rejuvenation product can make such a claim.

As Dr. Klatz puts it, "The only age-reversing drug thathas passed placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical tri-als with flying colors is Growth Hormone. Not once,but many times over." (p. 5)

Dr. Rudman followed up on his original 1990 experi-ment with a second group of 26 elderly men. He report-ed equally beneficial results of improved musclestrength, regeneration of the liver and the spleen, andimproved energy and vigor. "The overall deterioration ofthe body that comes with growing old is not inevitable,"stated Dr. Rudman. "We now realize that some aspectsof it can be prevented or reversed." (p. 5)

The work of Dr. Rudman and his colleagues in 1990unleashed a torrent of studies and clinical trials duringthe past eight years that have further documented theastounding benefits of GH replacement therapy. Med-ical researchers at the National Institute on Aging andat Stanford University have come to the conclusion thatmuch of the "inevitable" deterioration of aging can beconsiderably lessened by restoring youthful levels ofGH.

Hundreds of case histories are now available. Thereare thousands of doctors and numerous medical clinicsaround the world that are providing GH replacementtherapy to middle age and elderly men and women.When combined with proper nutrition and exercise, GHreplacement therapy is restoring optimum health andvigor like nothing else has.

The facts are now quite conclusive. The replacementof GH in those who are past 40 years of age will bringabout dramatic rejuvenation of their bodies and theirminds. Dr. Ronald Klatz writes in his book, GrowYoung with HGH:

"HGH is the ultimate anti-aging therapy. It affectsevery cell in the body, rejuvenating the skin and bones,regenerating the heart, liver, lung, and kidneys, bring-ing organ and tissue function back to youthful levels. Itis the most effective anti-obesity agent ever discovered,revving up the metabolism to youthful levels, resculpt-ing the body by selectively reducing the fat in the waist,

Here is what healthseekersare saying about

GH Oral Spray

“I have specialized in hormone therapy and have usedprecursors, secretagogues, and GH injections. Withinjections, I felt great for three weeks and then adecline. I used these for six months, but did not wantto increase my dosage as I felt this wasn’t healthy, soI stopped. Then I came across Regenesis and gave it atry. In 6 weeks, my IGF-1 levels (a measure of GH)increased from 240 to 349, and I’m over 70 years old.The injections never did that.”

— Morty Jacobs, D.C., Las Vegas, NV

“Let me tell you that I’m impressed with your companyand its care of the customer. You don’t find companieslike this much these days. I’ve had excellent results withRegenesis! After three months of using it, I have greatlyincreased energy and stamina!! Also, it’s fairly priced. Ilook forward to using Regenesis long into the future.”

— G.G., North Platte, NE

“I’ve been on Regenesis for the past year. I’mapproaching my early 40’s and was concerned aboutgetting old. But now I’m just ecstatic to look at myface everyday and see those small, fine lines aroundmy eyes diminished. It’s been so exciting. This is abreakthrough. This product is exceptional.”

— L.N., San Juan Capistrano, CA

“I’ve used this product for approximately four months.The thing I noticed immediately was my eyesight wasmuch better. Secondly, I’ve never experienced such apositive change in mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, and I’m sleeping more soundly and restfullythan I have in years. I’m sure I’ll use the Regenesisspray forever. Thank you!”

— C.H., Pacific Palisades, CA

“I refer to Regenesis as the ultimate in regeneration. Ihave treated some 80 patients with this product. Therecurring comment from these people is, ‘What anincredible sense of well being.’ And following that is a marked increase in energy...Eighty percent of thepatients had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and hormonalimbalances, while 20 percent had various disorderssuch as Alzheimers.”

abdomen, hips and thighs, and at the same time increas-ing muscle mass. It may be the most powerful aphro-disiac ever discovered, reviving flagging sexuality andpotency in men and women. It is cosmetic surgery in abottle; restoring the elasticity, thickness and contours ofyouthful skin; reversing the loss of extracellular waterthat makes old people look like dried-up old prunes. Ithas healing powers that close ulcerated wounds andregrow burned skin. It reverses the insomnia of laterlife, restoring "slow-wave" or the deepest level of sleep.And it is a mood elevator, lifting the spirit along withthe body, bringing back a zest for life that many peoplethought was long gone." (p. 8)

According to Dr. Klatz, the list of demonstratedbenefits from taking GH include an 8.8 percentincrease in muscle mass on average after six months,and a 14.4 percent loss of body fat on average after sixmonths, without altering diet or exercise. (Imaginewhat the results might be if you eat healthfully andexercise in addition to taking GH!) Other benefitsobserved were lower blood pressure, regrowth of hair,restoration of hair color, enhanced immune response,removal of cellulite, sharper vision, and enhancedmemory. Simply stated, GH is the most potent thera-peutic substance known to medical science, and it hasproven anti-aging benefits.

Many people, when they first learn about the amazingpower of GH and its vast effects upon the body, are eitherskeptical about its effectiveness or fearful about its safe-ty. The hundreds of clinical trials that have been con-ducted to date should alleviate anyone's doubt about its

effectiveness. The test results are in, and they areirrefutable. For a thorough discussion of these results,please read Grow Young with HGH by Dr. Ronald Klatz,published by Harper Perennial in 1998. It is available atbookstores everywhere. Although replete with scientificdocumentation, it is written in layman's language, and itpresents an overview of GH replacement therapy and allthat it can do for us.

But the question is, "Is GH therapy safe?" Thosewho are aware of the dangers of anabolic steroids takenby weightlifters and athletes fear that GH may fall intothe same category. That assumption is totally false; GHis not a steroid! It is actually a protein. It is producedby the pituitary gland in large amounts when we areyoung, but secretion falls off sharply as we age. Just asone can become deficient in a vitamin, we all becomedeficient in GH as we age, and replacing it can onlybring us benefit, not harm.

The key to safety, as the scientific trials have shown, isto make sure that the dosage of GH is physiological, thatis, in keeping with the body's own natural production andrhythm. This means that GH should be taken twice a dayin small nanogram doses. When done this way, GH hasbeen shown to be totally safe, with a record of zero sideeffects. No one below the age of 35 should use it becausethey simply don't need it (their bodies still produceenough), and pregnant women should avoid it as well(since the fetus doesn't need it either.) However, those arethe only caveats. Anyone else who is over 35 and desiresto stay young, and to actively oppose the aging process intheir body, has nothing to lose and everything to gain bystarting on GH supplementation right away.

The question that all of us face is: Do we want to justacquiesce to the debilitating process of aging, or do wewant to actively intervene to slow the process and pos-sibly even reverse its insidious course? Obviouslyhealth preservation starts with sound nutrition, regularexercise, stress reduction, and avoiding destructive habits,such as smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs.Every healthseeker should make this the foundation ofhis or her health program. We strongly urge all Americansto eat and live as healthfully as they possibly can. But,can we do more? We believe the answer is "yes". And,we believe the answer is GH supplementation.

What the results of GH studies have shown us isthat in order to dramatically slow and reverse theravages of old age, we need to replenish that whichaging has taken away. We need to restore our "masterhormone of the body" (GH) to the levels we enjoyedin our mid 30s. When we do this appropriately andprudently, the results are entirely beneficial, even spec-tacular, and the risks are zero.

As Dr. Klatz tells us in his book, "By replenishingyour supply of Growth Hormone, you can recover yourvigor, health, looks, and sexuality. For the first time inhuman history, we can intervene in the aging process,restore many aspects of youth, resist disease, substan-tially improve the quality of life, and perhaps evenextend the life span itself. The 'Fountain of Youth' lieswithin the cells of each of us. All you need to do isrelease it." (p. 15)

Until recently, the only way you could obtain GH wasto go to one of the avant-guard medical clinics (thatcater to movie stars and the super-rich) and begin a pro-gram of self-administered, twice-daily injections. Thecost of this regimen is $700 to $1,200 a month. Thegreat majority of us cannot afford that, and the prospectof twice-daily injections for the rest of our lives is hardlysomething to relish. After all, isn't the whole idea tostay fit and healthy so that we do not need injections andother painful medical procedures in our lives?

Fortunately for all of us, a remarkable new GHdelivery system has been developed. This involves sus-pending GH in a liquid medium that can be sprayedinto the mouth and directly through the oral mucosa.Keep in mind that it would do no good to swallow GHin a pill or capsule. Because it is a protein (consistingof 191 amino acids) it would readily undergo digestionin the stomach and break down and lose all of its prop-erties. However, GH can be injested through the insideof the cheek when it is properly suspended in an effectivedelivery system. The result is the first orally adminis-tered GH that is as easy and convenient as a breathspray. Moreover, it is much less expensive -- at a frac-tion of the cost of injections. Now everyone can enjoythe benefits of restored GH levels that were previouslyreserved for the rich and famous.

AmeriVita Distributing of Dallas, Texas, in conjunc-tion with health practitioners throughout the country,is pleased to offer the world's first effective oral GHspray called Regenesis. It was first introduced and usedexclusively by many leading physicians. The resultswere extraordinary and it was found to be perfectly safe.Now, we are making it available to everyone at thelowest price possible.

Keep in mind that this is genuine, biologically active GHderived from plant micro-organisms. It is not an herbalstimulant. It is not a precursor. It is not an amino acidconcoction. Regenesis GH Oral Spray delivers actualgrowth hormone.

Be aware also that there are numerous Homeopathicprecursor products on the market called GH releasors(with the letters “GH” or “HGH” in their names) thatcontain little or no actual Growth Hormone. They con-sist only of a combination of amno acids, herbs, andother nutrients. They function by attempting to make thepituitary gland produce more GH on its own. This isdone by putting herbal stimulants into the formula. Sucha method, however, is never as effective as supplement-ing with the hormone itself. None of the “Homeopathicand precursor products” have anywhere near the potency

or effectiveness that Regenesis has. None of them arebacked with the medical research and independent lab-oratory confirmation that stand behind Regenesis.

Health practitioners throughout the country arenow using Regenesis GH Oral Spray with impressiveresults. In a controlled double-blind study of Regene-sis GH, the Waveland Wellness Center in Chicago,under the guidance of director, Steven Novil, Ph.D.,reported weight loss in 75 percent of case studies,decreased blood pressure in 60 percent, and improve-ments in strength, sleep, skin, hair, sex drive, choles-terol levels, physical endurance and vitality in over 90percent of participants.

Various patient comments from the Waveland trialswere: “ I get a deeper, more restful sleep.” “ I havenoticed an increase in endurance and strength.” “I neverthought my skin would look this good again.” “My sexlife is back.”

F. Pearl McBroom, MD, Internal Medicine, Cardiologyand Preventive Medicine in Los Angeles, has achieveddocumented improvement in 95 percent of a group of 80patients over a two year period using Regenesis GH.

Dr. McBroom who is a graduate of the University ofChicago, Columbia College of Physicians and Sur-geons, UCLA and USC, has the longest clinical experi-ence with Regenesis GH. Her results include:increased energy in patients suffering from ChronicFatigue Syndrome, improved mental clarity inAlzheimer’s, senile dementia and depressive reactioncases as well as restoration of hormone balance and anincreased sense of well being.

In the past year, Dr. McBroom also achieved normal-ization of five patients suffering from profound states ofHypothyroidism who reverted to normalcy within twomonths with the addition of Regenesis GH.

Because of its special proprietary delivery system,Regenesis is the Cadillac of the GH oral supplements.Anybody can take synthesized GH and put it into a liq-uid base, but it will be ineffective without a means todeliver it through the cell membranes of the oralmucosa. This is what the delivery system does for

Regenesis. It is a special proprietary formula of lipidsrecently developed by research scientists that makesGH transportable. Without this special formula toencapsulate the GH molecule, it cannot be effectivelyabsorbed into the body, and it cannot be preserved in abottle for any length of time. Only Regenesis has thespecial proprietary formula.

Regenesis GH Oral Spray is a synthesized replica ofthe growth hormone protein molecule that your bodyproduces. It has been shown to bring about a substan-tial elevation in blood levels of growth hormone (as highas 80 percent increase in just three months) in the Wave-land Clinical trials, but without the painful needles andexorbitant cost of injection therapy.

Regenesis GH Oral Spray (30ml bottle) is moder-ately priced throughout the country. You can purchaseit through your local health practitioner where youreceived this report.

Regenesis is the highest potency GH oral sprayavailable. It is significantly more potent than any ofthe other versions on the market today. AmeriVita iscommitted to offering the highest quality GH product tothe American public at the lowest possible price.Frankly, we think it is irrational to deny yourself theproven benefits of GH when now it can be purchasedwithout a prescription, and in a form that is easy andconvenient to take.

Over the years we have seen many new health prod-ucts come into the marketplace that have brought greatbenefit to the public. But never have we seen a productwith the potential that Regenesis GH Oral Spray has. Itis a powerful insurance policy for vitality and longevi-ty in life.

The availability of oral GH is a major development onthe health scene. It will change aging as we know it. Youowe it to yourself to take advantage of its benefits. Thefuture for health has never looked brighter for all of us.

Is Regenesis FDA approved?GH Oral Spray is classified as a “dietary supplement”under the DSHEA act of Congress 1994 and thereforedoes not come under the regulatory purview of the FDA.

What side effects, if any, are there?When used in the manner described above, there havebeen zero side effects in over five years of use. Becausethe oral spray is calibrated in small (nanogram) doses, itis totally safe.

Direct three sprays into your mouth each day — onein the morning right after getting up, and two at night justbefore bed. By using it in this manner, the bottle will lastfor two months.

Direct the spray to the inside of your cheek. When tak-ing two sprays at a time, direct one spray to one cheekand the other spray to the other cheek. Avoid swallow-ing, eating, or drinking for 60 seconds after you spray.

Don’t take the spray with a meal. It gets injested muchbetter if it doesn’t have to compete with the digestion offood. Always take it at least 10 minutes before or 2 hoursafter a meal.

When spraying, lean your head over slightly so that thebottle is somewhat perpendicular to the floor. This allowsthe plunger tube to get to all of the liquid in the bottle.

Don’t store Regenesis in the refrigerator. Just keep it atroom temperature somewhere away from sunlight and heat.

When will I start to see results?Everyone differs on this. The majority of people begin tosee results within 1-2 months. There are some whorequire a slightly longer period. You must remember thatthis is not a quick fix; there is a cumulative effect thatneeds to take place. Quick, overnight rejuvenations neverwork; the human body can only be genuinely rebuilt overtime. But if you will give GH supplementation a full andfair trial, the results will be most gratifying.

How long will I experience changes taking place?For a year or more. The more profound benefits that havebeen achieved (organ regeneration, strengthening ofbones, lessening of wrinkles, etc.) require 6-12 months.

What can I do to enhance the results I will getusing Regenesis?GH works better when it is combined with propernutrition. There is a synergistic effect that takes place.So take a good vitamin-mineral supplement, eat morenatural food, get regular exercise, and expose yourself tosunshine every day for at least 15 minutes. GH acts asthe linchpin that dramatically reinvigorates the entiresystem, enhancing the effect of all these factors.

How is Regenesis produced?It is produced by plant based micro-organisms throughwhat is called recombinant DNA technology. It is grownand harvested like a field of corn, only inside a labora-tory. It is a synthesized replica of the pituitary hormone(the 191 amino acid chain) your body produces.

What about cycling on and off?Cycling, means laying off the supplement at regularintervals so that the body does not get lazy and stop itsown production of the hormone. This is not mandatorywith the oral spray, but those who do cycle appear to getbetter results, so it is recommended. A popular cycle isthree months on - one week off.

At what age should one start taking Regenesis?Anyone under the age of 40 does not need it; their bodiesproduce enough GH on their own. There are someexceptions to this rule, but generally speaking, it’s agood guideline. After the age of 40, however, everyonecan benefit from GH supplementation. Pregnant womenshould not take GH, for the fetus does not need it.

Actual Growth Hormone vs. GH Precursors There are two major sources for Growth Hormone today that the health community is using as an alternative to GH injections: oral sprays and precursors. Considerable differences in the quality and effectiveness of these two GH replacement methods exist, however, and the health consumer needs to be made aware of these differences. We began researching Growth Hormone many years ago after the Rudman clinical trials had been made public because of our interest in health and longevity. We studied carefully all of the options for GH replacement, keeping an open but critical mind -- fully aware that nutritional manufacturers were quite capable of glossing over the defects of their product while dwelling on only the benefits. What we were seeking was a convenient and effective alternative to the use of GH injections, which are just too unpleasant and costly to ever appeal to the great majority of people. Which of these two alternative methods being used today, oral sprays and precursors, is the best option? Here are the main reasons why we think the GH oral spray is the best, and why precursors fall short.

The Problem with Precursors

Precursors are substances we consume that then induce our bodies to produce GH. They are an attempt to get the pituitary gland to secrete more GH on its own. They precede GH and help to bring it about; hence their name "precursor." There are three different forms of precursors being used by the health community today: 1) amino acid stacks, 2) herbal stimulants, and 3) homeopathic formulas. The most important reason why precursors are inferior to the oral spray is that they simply don't bring about as high an increase of GH. The precursor formulas achieve on average a 10%-20% increase in GH levels (see Klatz, Grow Young with HGH, p. 209). In comparison, the GH oral spray achieves on average a 40%-80% increase in GH blood levels. Clinical trials, such as the Waveland Wellness Center Study in Chicago, have documented this for Regenesis GH Oral Spray. Some early undocumented results showed over 100% increase. In order to achieve GH increases above 20% with precursors, it requires the consumption of massive amounts of amino acids -- a level that usually appeals only to weightlifters and high performance athletes.

There are several other disadvantages to the use of precursors. Let's look into just a few of them: 1) Amino acid stacks consist of free-form amino acids such as arginine, lysine, glutamine, etc., which have proven to be moderately effective in bringing about a GH increase. Their downside is as follows: As stated, to achieve an average 20% increase in GH, the amount of amino acids that need to be consumed is huge. And you have to take several in what is called a "stack." The recommended amounts that need to be taken according to Mauro Di Pasquale, a world champion weight lifter and recognized expert in the field, are: 5 grams of arginine, 5 grams of glutamine, and 5 grams of lysine. Other experts recommend adding 2 grams each of ornithine and glycine for a total of 19 grams of amino acids daily. Amino acids come in ½ and 1 gram tablets, so this means 25-30 large "horse tablets" daily, which is not exactly a regimen to look forward to for the rest of our lives, especially if we have to add this amount of tablets to other vitamin and mineral supplements that we are taking. 2) Herbal stimulants. The above does not touch upon the major problem with amino acid precursors, however. Since 19 grams of amino acids is far too bulky of an amount to fit conveniently into 3-4 tablets or sprays to take daily, the manufacturers put only small token amounts of amino acids into their formulas, which of course negates the amino acid power of the precursor formula. How then is the precursor effective? In order to make it effective, the manufacturer includes in the formula an assortment of herbal stimulants that are known to "jump start" the body's pituitary gland and make it produce more GH on its own. One of the favorite herbal stimulants used in precursor formulas is from the plant extract "vishia fava major" which is an extract of the fava bean, which is known to be toxic. If you eat fava beans in sufficient quantity you will become acutely ill. Vishia fava major is also known to have anti-estrogenic and anti-androgenic effects, which means that it interferes with sex hormone production in both males and females. The reader should understand, that there is a big difference between a nutrient and a stimulant. Nutrients are substances (such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones, etc.) that are utilized by the body in its daily physiological processes. They are natural to the body and needed by it. On the other hand, stimulants are substances (such as caffeine) that are foreign to the body. They are not natural to it and not needed by it. The very presence of stimulants in the body arouses our internal defenses to neutralize them. This is why they stimulate us. They are actually small poisons that alarm the liver, kidney, and endocrine glands into hyperactivity. In our opinion, taking stimulants is not a good practice if done on a daily basis. The use of stimulants to effect a body response should be reserved for emergencies. This is one of the important reasons why the pre-cursor formulas being sold today are not the best choice to bring about higher levels of GH in our body. They require that we partake in stimulants on a daily basis. All the

precursor formulas contain herbal stimulants of some kind. The claim is that since the herbal stimulant is "natural" it is all right for us. Don't be fooled by this rationale that whatever is "natural" is all right. This is meant to convey the idea that since it comes from nature (rather than synthesized in a lab) it is automatically good for us. Well, there are plenty of stimulants and poisons that come from nature. For example, caffeine comes from coffee, which grows in nature. That doesn't make it good for us. Poisonous mushrooms are "natural," but they are certainly not good for us. We have to go further than just "natural" in determining what is nutritionally sound for human beings. We have to ask ourselves if the natural substance we are consuming is a nutrient or a stimulant to the body? If it is a stimulant, then we would be wise not to consume it on a daily basis. It should be pointed out here that nutritional scientists use the term "stimulate" rather loosely. They say that amino acids, which are necessary nutrients for the body, "stimulate" the pituitary gland to produce more GH on its own. They say that certain vitamins "stimulate" the body's immune system to ward off disease. This is true. And such stimulation is not dangerous in the sense that stimulation from caffeine is. In fact, the GH Oral Spray not only supplements Growth Hormone to the body, but it also gently stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more GH on its own. So it acts as both a supplement and a stimulant. But it is stimulation by nutritional means, i.e., by something necessary and natural to the body. Many things (meat, sugar, fats, sunshine, love) can be said to "stimulate" human beings. What we need to be wary of is the use of stimulants that are foreign to the body, i.e., non-nutritive substances that are not needed in the physiological processes of life. Where do the so called herbal stimulants fit in this analysis? They fit into the foreign classification. That is to say, they are not needed by the body in a nutritional sense, and therefore must be purged from the body whenever they are ingested. Exactly how harmful such foreign stimulants may be to our bodies is not an easy thing to discern. After all, many people consume caffeine all their adult lives. Many people consume nicotine and alcohol well into old age. The amount of the stimulant and the individual's genetic predispositions have to be taken into consideration. The point we wish to make is that there is a difference between nutritionally inducing a GH increase and stimulating a GH increase with a foreign substance to the body. The nutritional method is certainly a better and safer means to bring about higher levels of GH. Most precursor formulas being offered on the market today will increase GH in our bloodstream, but it is not because of the amino acids or other nutrients that they contain, which are very small. The increase is achieved because of the herbal stimulants that they contain. What's most important to remember, however, is that it is less of an increase than that which comes from supplementation of GH through the oral spray. So not only are these precursors inferior safety wise, they are inferior in the results they obtain.

3) Homeopathic formulas. You can find in some stores today what is called "Homeopathic GH." It is touted as a genuine GH product and advertised as if it has a meaningful amount of GH in it. It usually sells for about $25.00 to $35.00 for a month's supply. You can always identify a homeopathic product by the fact that it has a number and an "X" on the label, e.g., 30X. Our purpose here is not to knock the homeopathic field; many of their products, no doubt, do a lot of good. Our purpose is merely to inform the reader as to which of the alternative methods of GH replacement are best. The problem with Homeopathic GH is that it does not have any meaningful amount of GH in it. It has less than a hundredth of a nanogram (ng). For comparison sake, Regenesis Pro, the most popular GH Oral Spray on the market, has 500 ng in every spray, over 50,000 times what "Homeopathic GH" has in it. What Homeopathic GH has is water, herbal stimulants, glandular extracts, amino acids, and other nutrients. Whatever effect you get from taking it does not come from its GH content, which is totally nil, nor from its amino acids, which are not nearly enough. It comes from its herbal stimulants. So the homeopathic formulas suffer the same disadvantage as other precursors. They operate by inducing a stimulating effect from a foreign substance, which makes them a poor means to bring about GH increase in our bodies. There simply is no genuine amount of GH in the homeopathic formulas. They are allowed to claim the presence of GH in their product because there is a fraction of a nanogram (ng) of GH in them. But this is like claiming Lake Michigan to suddenly be potent medicine after we put a drop of iodine in it.

The Superiority of GH Oral Spray

In conclusion, all precursors are at best secondary methods to bring about a GH increase in our bodies because they do not achieve as high an increase of GH as the Oral Spray. Moreover, they operate on the stimulant principle, which in the long run is never as good as the nutritional principle. Or in the case of amino acid stacks, they require consuming a huge load of tablets tolerable only to weightlifters and high performance athletes. The GH Oral Spray has none of the disadvantages of the precursor products. It puts a sizeable amount of actual growth hormone (1,500-3,000 ng daily) into your body by means of several quick squirts from the spray. It brings about much higher levels of GH. And it does so at a very moderate cost. Consuming amino acid stacks, herbal stimulants, and homeopathic formulas can never match the results of the GH Oral Spray. While they are cheaper in price, they simply cannot deliver what the actual hormone can in terms of potency, benefits, and convenience. __________________ This report is published for general information purposes only, and is not meant to be interpreted as medical advice or as a treatment for any disease.

Micro-Dilution Oral Growth Hormone Supplementation:

A Double-Blind Controlled Research Study on Regenesis

The following are the results achieved with a placebo-controlled, double-blind study with Regenesis GH Oral Spray that administered dosage levels of 3 sprays of GH per day, 100 ng per spray. The study was conducted over a period of 3 months.

IGF-1 (Growth Hormone) levels raised as high as 80%. * LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) reduced an average of 20%. DHEA (another youth hormone) raised an average of 32%. Testosterone levels elevated an average of 18.5%. Systolic blood pressure reduced 12 points on average.

*(Anecdotal evidence at AmeriVita from hundreds of individuals has shown that this figure increases to the 100% -120% range when Regenesis usage is extended to 6 months to a year.) Sample Waveland Laboratory Results:

Patient Pre-test GH level Post-test GH level L.B. 139 ng/ml 168 ng/ml P.B. 92 " 166 "

T.K. 162 " 191 " T.B. 167 " 226 "

J.S. 195 " 275 "

Results Reported by Waveland Participants:

Muscle Strength 95% reported increase in strength. Body Fat 75% reported significant weight loss. Deeper Sleep 90% reported deeper sleep. Skin and Hair 95% showed marked improvement in skin and hair. Sex Drive 90% reported increased sex drive. Endurance 90% reported increased physical endurance. Overall Health 95% reported improvement in overall health. Attitude 95% reported a renewed zest for living.

Growth Hormone (somatotropin), the master anterior pituitary gland, has been used to combat age-related growth hormone decline. Recently an oral delivery system was developed that utilizesthe body through the oral mucosa. This delivery sygrowth hormone designed to mirror the pituitary's natural growth hormone secretions.

Various Patient Comments:

"I have increased my exercise programs and handle stress better." "I feel stronger emotionally, and I don't get upset as often." "Noticed an increase in endurance and strength." "I get a deeper, more restful sleep." "I never thought my skin would look this good again." "My sex life is back."

Test Summary:

The direction in movement of hormone levels being brought back to youthful and regenerative levels is significant. The results of the chem 24 / chem 25 tests show the cholesterol, HDL, LDL returning to normalization. The results of the study show test patients had significant results in the body with a rise of 40% in IGF-1 (Growth Hormone) levels, 31.5% rise in DHEA, and 18.5% rise in testosterone levels. After compiling supporting data of the double blind study, there is a significant physiological change with the patients who had taken the Regenesis micro-dilution oral spray. The levels of IGF-1, Testosterone, and DHEA, along with the changes in the lipids, show that the patients consistently evidenced marked progressiveness towards balance. The resultant physiology of the patients was a gentle response with the body returning to a higher metabolism with greater efficiency and a more youthful level of chemistry. The subsequent blood draws show marked consistency of rise in chemistry for the patients and then setting a higher threshold for the level of homeostasis of the body.
