The beneficial, known and studied effects of the famous Gerovital H3 - Anti Aging Therapy 18 May 2025 - 01:18 PM

Gerovital H3 is the drug developed by Professor Dr. Ana Aslan in collaboration with pharmacist Elena Polovrageanu, based on observations at that time on the effects of procaine. Professor Daniel Danielopolu, who played an essential role in the creation of the Institute of Physiology, noted that procaine “restores and increases active vital processes and local resistance”, and Professor Dr. Ana Aslan intuited and discovered the biotrophic therapeutic actions of procaine, through long-term treatment in small doses, with a curative and prophylactic role.
 
The best known and studied effects of Gerovital H3 are the antioxidant and antidepressant effects.
 
Gerovital H3, through its active ingredient – ​​procaine, but also through its other ingredients (potassium metabisulfite, benzoic acid) exerts antioxidant action through several mechanisms, including direct inhibition of free radical generation and limitation of lipid peroxidation reactions of cell membranes.
 
Numerous studies have confirmed the role of procaine and Gerovital H3 as protective agents against oxidative stress: this role could explain the antiatherogenic effect and slowing down the effects of aging.
 
Chronic treatment with Gerovital H3 has antiatherosclerotic effects, a consequence of the reduction of cholesterol mobilized from deposits and of the lipotropic action, especially through its primary metabolite, diethylaminoethanol (DEAE).
 
Studies have also confirmed the “statin-like” action of procaine, exerted by regulating the activity of HMG-CoA-reductase, involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, with a decrease in total cholesterol and an increase in HDL cholesterol.
 
The antidepressant effect is exerted because Gerovital H3 is a weak, reversible and competitive monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (which gives it reduced side effects compared to other MAOIs).
 
Other clinically proven effects are:
 
Reducing pain and improving mobility in patients with joint diseases, especially arthritic ones
 
Reducing stiffness and hypokinesia in syndromes and Parkinson's disease
 
Through all these beneficial effects, as well as through its use for more than 60 years, Gerovital H3 has proven its usefulness in the prevention and prophylaxis of some of the phenomena associated with aging. It is recommended to start treatments with Gerovital H3, administered in injectable or oral form, from the age of over 40 - 50, respecting the indications of the medicine's package insert, the indications of the doctor supervising the therapy, but also the preferences of each patient. Of great importance is the long-term treatment, under periodic monitoring, as long as there are no adverse reactions or contraindications, as well as respecting some lifestyle recommendations.

What are your goals for this forum? Are you allowing it to die? 28 August 2024 - 02:59 PM

I learned about this forum when I first searched for cryonics information a decade or so ago. Since then, large social media platforms have come to dominate, and independent forums have been dying out. I see that you briefly discussed this phenomenon in this thread.

 

I believe this is an incredibly problematic phenomenon (Eg: reddit is dangerous, as is allowing single entities to control so much public information, discord and email groups are private and hard to find, facebook is a horrible company and enshittified platform). I've been recommending that other people ditch these large social media platforms and go back to independent forums like this one.

 

The problem in this case seems to be that the owners of this forum appear to be content with their forum dying out and are not taking steps to improve/update the forum and keep it working well and attractive to new users.

 

Examples:

 

* Email notifications have not been working for months, and there has been no response on why https://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/114464-email-notifications-stopped/

* The software being used is quite old and has lots of room for improvement. An admin agreed, but there's been no further word or development for the past year https://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/117271-changing-the-forum-software-over-to-xenforo/

 

These are two other major improvements that could be implemented:

 

* https://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/109448-merging-sub-forums-to-increase-traffic/

* https://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/117994-email-digest-notifications-for-subforum-subscriptions/

 

Two others that bother me are how much unnecessary whitespace there is, and I'm not a fan of how URLs are not fully shown.

 

It's already much more convenient for people to use one big social media platform vs multiple independent forums. So it's absolutely vital that your user experience/interface is not ALSO worse than those big platforms. You must make it as easy and appealing as possible for people to switch over. Deficits with your forum UX are hindering my efforts to get people to use it over the big social media platforms.

 

It is not difficult. I set up my own small forum for another topic while having no expertise and little money to spend on it. It costs me $5/mo. I shared how here. And here is the result in action. I think it's a good example of a compact, modern forum layout and appealing design.
