I'm looking for some feedback on Gerovital H3. Here is a little blurp on it:
Gerovital-H3 is known to improve cell metabolism and has an effect on many
mental and body functions. It improves concentration and vitality, alleviates
joint stiffness, enhances well-being and acts as an anti-depressant. It is even
known to improve skin and hair condition.
Gervotial-H3 is also known to lower bad cholesterol, (LDL) and increase good
cholesterol, (HDL) and it can also help to reduce Cortisol levels. Cortisol is
the hormone responsible for stress. It is a rare hormone in that it is one of
the few that increases with age. It is believed that high Cortisol levels lead
to accelerated aging because cortisol attacks the hypothalamus, (the area of the
brain that controls the endocrine system). Ironically, Cortisol may run
“out-of-control” due to its ability to damage the hypothalamus- which controls
the adrenal glands that produce Cortisol! This vicious catch-22 situation leads
to an impaired endocrine system and forms part of the Neuroendocrine Theory of
Aging.
Gerovital-H3 principally contains stabilized Procaine, and is a known reversible
inhibitor of the brain enzyme MAO, (a substance that breaks down
neurotransmitters and increases with age having a detrimental affect on brain
function), thus accounting for Gerovital-H3's anti-depressant effects.
Gerovital-H3 is most effective when used over long periods at 100mg to 200mg
daily with regular breaks. The tablets are best taken on an empty stomach with
liquid.
Our new stock of Gerovital-H3 is the guaranteed original formulation of Dr.
Aslan's product, obtained from the Aslan Laboratories in Romania. For example,
this differs from KH3 by also containing potassium metabisulphite, benzoic acid
and disodium phosphate. Plus, compared to KH3, Gerovital-H3 tablets contain
twice as much Procaine. (Note: Diabetics should be aware that the tablets are
sugar coated).
Anyone have any experience with it or something like it? Its fairly inexpensive at lower doses. I've read 1-2mg per kg bodyweight for neurological anti aging and 10-20mg per kg bodyweight for anti depressant effects.
