SAN ANTONIO -- What would you call a compound that can help reduce wrinkles, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen bones, boost mood, improve sex drive, and make users look and feel decades – not years, but DECADES – younger? Well, a lot of people, including medical experts, are touting human growth hormone (HGH) as the proverbial "fountain of youth."
The problem has been that, until now, the rich and powerful of Hollywood had to resort to expensive injections of synthetic HGH to experience its numerous benefits. But at this week's 30th annual international meeting of The Obesity Society in San Antonio, cutting-edge clinical results were presented detailing a new dietary supplement shown in a double-blind clinical trial to increase the body's own production of HGH by an average of 682%.
The Study
Dr. Amy Deaton, PhD. Director of Scientific Affairs for SanMedica International, LLC, presented the findings, which were compiled by a group of scientists at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University. The results demonstrate an oral compound called SeroVital, which is capable of supporting the pituitary gland's production of more youthful growth hormone levels in human subjects. In the randomized cross-over, placebo controlled, double-blind clinical trial, the specialized amino-acid blend was proven to actually increase bioactive, serum (blood) growth hormone levels by a mean of 682% at 120 minutes.
The trial involved men and women between 18 and 70 years of age, who were scheduled for two testing sessions a week apart where, after an overnight fast, blood samples were drawn over a period of 120 minutes after consumption of either the proprietary SeroVital blend or placebo capsules. Neither the subjects nor the investigators knew at which session the subjects received the SeroVital blend and at which session they received the placebo. At the end of the study, the samples were tested for serum HGH levels, and the results were independently analyzed.
