Mr
GH3, or Gerovital H3, was discovered/developed by a woman from Romania I believe. I used to know a lot more about this stuff but it was quite a while ago. It's supposed to be quite a remarkable anti-aging substance. It was at one time very expensive and only accessible by the rich. As of just a few years ago, it was still quite hard to obtain and I believe the real thing is still not approved by our buddies at the FDA and is, therefore, illegal. I know it's also apparently great for depression, blood pressure as well as many other conditions. It's apparently pretty safe stuff but I think I remember that you're not supposed to take it with MAO inhibitors. I didn't bothered with it, seemed like too much of a hastle and expense at the time. There's tons of info on the net about it. I guess I really didn't tell you much but I hope that helps.
Here's some junk on it I copied off the net...
Also known as GH3 or KH3, Gerovital-H3®'s principle ingredient is procaine. This is the famous anti-aging drug discovered by Professor Ana Aslan of Romania.
Gerovital-H3® improves cell metabolism and has an effect on many mental and body functions, such as improving concentration and vitality, alleviating joint stiffness, enhancing well-being and acting as an anti-depressant, as well as improving skin and hair condition.
It is also known that Gerovital-H3® can help reduce cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress, and 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 that controls the adrenal glands that produce cortisol!
Gerovital-H3® is also a reversible reducer 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 affects.
Gerovital-H3® is most effective when used over a long period at 100mg to 200mg daily with regular breaks.
Our Gerovital-H3® is the original Dr. Aslan product from Romania and it differs from KH3 by also containing potassium metabisulfite, benzoic acid and disodium phosphate. Compared to KH3, Gerovital-H3® tablets contain twice as much procaine. Both types of tablet are sugar coated and are not recommended for diabetics.
It is also interesting to note that export quality Gerovital-H3® is denoted by a green label and a hologram. Export quality Gerovital-H3® contains procaine manufactured by the German pharmaceutical giant Horscht (under an exclusive agreement), whereas the domestic Gerovital-H3® (red label no hologram) contains inferior domestic procaine. It is also interesting to note that the export procaine has a special Ph value of 3.3, whereas all other tested forms of procaine have a Ph value of 5.5 or higher. This may be another explanation of why Gerovital-H3® is a superior product to the copies.
