What's in Deer Antler?
Deer antler is named after the soft, velvet-like covering that deer antlers have before they turn bony. Antlers are organs of bone which regenerate each year from the heads of male deer. In addition to bone, support tissues such as nerves also regenerate. Nerves grow up to 1 cm each day, the fastest growing biologically active tissue known to science. Deer antler velvet contains many substances including amino acids, minerals, proteins, anti-inflammatory peptides, hormones, gangliosides and glycosaminoglycans, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. It represents the only renewable form of cartilage, accounting for its signficant effects on bone and cartilage health and renewal. It is loaded with beneficial collagen, prostoglandin, phospholipids, proteoglycans, minerals, fatty acids and steroids. It is also rich with both chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine sulphate.
The Chinese have long believed that Antler Velvet is a "wonder drug." A 2,000-year-old scroll discovered in a tomb in Hunan Province, China, listed dozens of different diseases that could be treated with deer velvet. The 16th century "Materia Medica," a standard text of Chinese herbalists, lists deer velvet as one of the most highly prized natural medicinal substances.
Furthermore, research by Dr Andrezj Bartke and the BioMarker Foundation into life-span factors, while studying long-lived Ames dwarf mice, found that the Insulin Growth Factor genetic pathways are directly involved in confering longevity by increasing resistance to stress, enhancing immune function, and altering programmed aging. Evidence is proving the Chinese were right about Antler Velvet. IGF-Plus is a powerful modern synthesis of this ancient and life-giving formulation.
What is meant by "growth"?
Growth requires many, many coordinated processes in the body, and that in turn means a complex dance of lots of different hormones, which typically are the messengers that tell different parts of the body what to do and when. Growth hormones are the power behind muscle growth. It stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of muscle cells, stimulates amino acid uptake and synthesizes protein in muscle and other tissues. This is where IGF-Plus' ability to influence overall muscle growth comes from.
Growth but so much more! You have to try it to experience the amazing effects. In so many areas, IGF-Plus:
Enhanced strength, endurance and athletic performance
Has a positive impact on diseases, like stomach and lung conditions or even high cholesterol and high blood sugar (thins the blood)
Reinvigorates and supports female and male sexual organs to restore potency and pleasure
Works to eliminate extra body fat,especially in the abdomen and legs
Improves skin texture and elasticity
Help you sleep better
Improve immune and heart function,and healing time
Improve brain function, memory and mental focus
Profound anti-aging qualities
Arthritis and joint relief and repair
Protects against future injury and deterioration
These are all a lot of claims, we admit. But clinical tests have shown these effects in adults ranging in age from 20 to 90. Not just a superior muscle growth and performance enhancer, IGF-Plus is remarkably helpful for a whole category of health benefits and assists with many complaints.
