Based on the compelling results of the independent double placebo research on AgeLess Growth, an abstract was accepted and presented in November, 2003 at the American College of Nutrition.
EXACT ABSTRACT AS PRESENTED AT THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF NUTRITION
The ACUTE Effects OF A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT ON ENDOCRINE RESPONSES. Incledon T. President, Human Performance Specialists, Inc., Chandler, AZ.
This study investigated the effects of a dietary supplement containing a specific combination of agents on serum growth hormone (GH) and testosterone (T) responses at rest in six resistance-trained men. Subjects were randomly assigned to a placebo (P) or supplement condition (S) and then crossed over to the other treatment condition one week later. During each treatment subjects had an initial blood draw taken, ingested the treatment and then had blood drawn at 30, 60, and 90 minutes post ingestion. Results were analyzed using a multivariate analysis design with follow-up test as appropriate. The results support the notion that a supplement can positively influence acute endocrine markers at rest.
