We are
aging. As we age our bodies produce less and less
"IGF-1"
(Insulin Like Growth Factor) and "HGH" (Human Growth
Hormone)
PhytoZon
- Contains the ONLY Known Compound Proven to Help Cells
Naturally Produce IGF-1. It's IGF-1 and not HGH like
many people think that’s responsible for replacing all
of the cells in your body.
The pituitary gland in the
brain secretes human growth hormone (HGH) which in turn
signals (primarily) the liver to produce and secrete
insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Both HGH and IGF-1
promote whole body growth and their levels peak during
puberty. IGF-1 increases protein synthesis (muscle
growth), bone mineralization, low blood sugar, kidney
function and insulin sensitivity. It promotes healing
and repair of bone, muscle, nervous system and immune
system cells.
Following puberty when its
levels are at their peak, as we age, IGF-1 levels
precipitously decline such that by the time we are 60
years old, the levels have decreased by approximately
eighty percent (80%) *as shown in the graph display
above.
This natural decline in IGF-1
levels in adulthood, known as somatopause, is
responsible for most of the signs we associate with
aging. These include but are not limited to altered
musculoskeletal function (e.g. muscle atrophy;
associated decrease in strength; bone calcium
loss/osteoporosis); altered endocrine function (i.e. a
higher incidence of diabetes); altered carbohydrate and
lipid metabolism; altered Integumentary function (e.g.
skin thinning, wrinkles); and, altered neurological
function (e.g. dementia, Alzheimer disease).
RNI 249
is a patented extract from the hypocotyls of the
crucifer Lepidium meyenii (aka "Maca"), a radish-like
tuber cultivated only on the inner slopes of the Andean
Mountains. In a study with Case Western Reserve
University, it has been shown to increase human cellular
production of IGF-1
