SUBJECTIVE SURVEY OF A PROPRIETARY MICRO-DILUTION GROWTH FACTOR SPRAY FORMULATION

In 2001, Drs. John Prentice and Kevin Lewis^a reported on the results of a three-year subjective outcome-based clinical survey conducted on 63 subjects who supplemented their diet with a proprietary micro-dilution oral spray growth factor formula containing an advanced patented delivery system (MMC). The proprietary micro-dilution oral spray growth factor-MMC system that was evaluated by Prentice and Lewis is identical to Anti-Aging Formulas’ Renuva Infuser product.

STUDY SYNOPSIS^b
Subjects rated their health on a scale of one to seven for 37 mental and physical health criteria. Criteria included such anti-aging assessment points as energy level; skin tone; muscle strength; resistance to colds; sexual performance; memory and other quality of life issues. Qualifying subjects ranked their overall health at two or more junctures - before supplementation, after 1 month into the supplementation program, and for subsequent months.

Over 90% of test subjects documented very positive results in an average of 18.3 different health areas after one to three months of use. Four subjects documented positive improvement in all 37-health areas. The highest rating of 7 ("has never been better") was assessed 6% of the time for all health criteria for all test subjects. The outcome-based survey shows that test subjects subjectively determined that the proprietary micro-dilution oral spray growth factor-MMC system was beneficial to their overall quality of life.

INTRODUCTION ^c,d
After the age of 20, the body experiences a steady decrease in hormonal output. Included in this declining cascade of hormones is Human Growth Hormone (hGH). According to Dillman's Neuro-Endocrine Theory of Aging, declining hormone levels may be the primary cause for the debilitation of the aging body. Wrinkles, excess body fat, slowed-down metabolism, weakened immune system, and decreased energy levels are all linked to the decreased production of, and therefore cellular access to human growth hormone. Somatopause is the term given for the significant drop in hGH output that occurs with age.

The pituitary gland naturally releases hGH 20 to 30 times throughout a 24-hour cycle, the majority of which is released during deep sleep. As one ages, the pituitary does not necessarily stop producing hGH - it progressively loses its ability to fully release what it has produced and stored.

Growth hormone has received international attention in recent years as the premier motivator of the anti-aging movement. At present, there are many growth hormone related supplements on the market in the U.S. For this reason, the facilitators set out to investigate the perceived benefits of growth hormone supplementation.

The Proprietary micro-dilution oral spray Growth Factor-MMC system was chosen for the investigation. This proprietary oral spray Growth Factor-MMC system contains a micro-dilution of bio-active hGH in addition to a proprietary growth hormone releasing complex - a complex of naturally purified growth factors (non-animal, non-human source), designed to accurately mimic normal hGH control. These growth factors target the pituitary gland to both produce and release more growth hormone in the aging body and to re-regulate release to younger patterns.

^c The authors of this research paper are not endorsing any particular brand of hGH supplementation. The authors independently researched four hGH supplements before settling on the Proprietary micro-dilution oral spray Growth Factor-MMC system® ingredient. Furthermore, the authors are not suggesting that a spray hGH formulation is a viable alternative to medically indicated prescription hGH injection therapy.
