Aging

• Many theories• Endocrine (glandular depletion)• Free radical (oxidation/inflammation)• Chronic Stress• pH (acid –base)• Excessive sugar (worse than you think!)• Membrane function• Mitochondrial function (energy)• Genetics (choose your parents carefully)

Aging

• Diminished functional capacity that can manifest in a variety of ways• Energy• Strength• Endurance• More…

Anti-Aging

• Animal studies do indicate that certain nutrients may promote a long life span

• Definitive clinical studies on humans are lacking

• HOWEVER THERE IS HOPE…

Anti-Aging – Health Span

• Stanford & U Penn studies (Dr. James Freis) have shown that you can add life to your years!• Good nutrition• Daily exercise• Stress reduction• Not smoking

• They call it increasing Health Span i.e.

adding life to your years!

Health Span

• Freis’ 20 year study of U Penn graduates showed that those who lead a healthier lifestyle postponed signs of aging by at least a decade over those who smoked, were obese or did not exercise.

• Health Span is the new model of aging.

PRIME™ Secretagogue

• May raise HGH levels that normally diminish with aging in a physiological manner to more youthful levels.

• Functions as a secretagogue to naturally increase the production and secretion of HGH by the pituitary gland

• Recreates a more youthful, natural pattern of HGH production and release into the body.

• Safe and natural

PRIME™ Secretagogue

• Powerful combination of amino acids (the natural building blocks of proteins) that that have been scientifically show to effectively raise HGH levels.

• Taken with proper timing, exercise and a healthy diet you can turn back the clock!

Figure 4. The regulation of growth hormone secretion.

Common Growth Hormone Inhibitors

• Stress hormones• Relax

• Insulin• Don’t eat for 2 or more hours prior to

bedtime

• Time of day• Sleep well (HGH levels rise during

sleep)

Low GH may cause:

• Sadness• Increased stress• Lack of energy levels • Social isolation • Lack of positive well being • Increased body fat, particularly central adiposity • Decreased muscle mass • Decreased total and extracellular fluid volume

Prime™ Key Ingredients

• All of the major ingredients in the Prime secretagogues have published literature supporting their potential as nutritional HGH secretagogues.

• BONUS!!! • In addition, all of the major ingredients

in these formulations have numerous other anti-aging related health benefits.

L – ARGININE Additional scientifically documented functions

• Semi-essential amino acid • Supports GHRH so HGH levels go up• Can increase GH release• Enhances immunity• Enhances exercise tolerance• Promotes normal biosynthesis of creatine

molecule

L-Arginine

• Shown to be the amino acid that promotes Nitric Oxide production (not Nitrous oxide – laughing gas) (Nobel Prize work in 1998)• Helps maintain blood pressure• Helps maintain erectile quality• Helps maintain blood flow• Enhance Mood

GLYCINE Additional documented functions

• Can potentiate the release of HGH • Important component of liver enzymes

that support the normal detoxification of certain substances from the body.

• The other half of the creatine molecule.• Promotes the normal biosynthesise of

the Heme part of hemoglobin.• Critical molecule in energy metabolism

L-GLUTAMINE Additional scientifically documented functions

• Can potentiate HGH release• Most abundant amino acid in human body• Shown to support the body’s immune function• Fuel for GI and immune system• One third of the powerful anti-aging glutathione molecule

L-GLUTAMINE Additional scientifically documented functions

• Promotes normal DNA synthesis & cell growth

• Used extensively in hospital feeding formulas

Prime – Usage

• Use for HGH potentiation requires taking prior to bedtime on an empty stomach

• Post of a strenuous workout to support recovery

• Other benefits can be realized taking it after or between meals

Other dietary HGH Products

• Sublingual sprays• HGH is only an injectable drug!

• HGH is too big of a molecule to be absorbed sublingually (191 Amino Acid Chain))

• HGH gets destroyed (hydrolyzed) by stomach acid and digestive enzymes

• Other secretagogues• Too little of too much or too much of too

little actives

• 71% of Americans sleep < 8 hours

• Incidence of insufficient sleep disorders is increasing

Common causes of a poor nights sleep

• Stress• Poor diet (too many stimulants, poor

nutrient content)• Shift work• Jet lag• Poor exercise habits (too little or too

much)• Pain

Sleep & Age

• Newborns: sleep 2/3 of the time; up to ½ of that is REM so may take up to 2 years to sleep through the night (YIKES!!!)

• Middle Age: men & women have decreased amounts of slow wave sleep; men worse than women – by age 45, men get almost no deep sleep

• Seniors: almost no deep sleep, less than 1 hour REM per night

Melatonin

• Hormone produced from serotonin and secreted from the pineal gland

• Promotes normal synchronization of other hormone secretion; circadian rhythms

• Production dependent on the light sensitive suprachiasmatic nucleus

• Seasonal production: amount produced dependent on length of day

• Production peaks @ age 10-20 • Antioxidant properties – intercepts free

radicals; supports healthy immune & responses

Melatonin

Melatonin

• Supports normal IGF-1 production – anabolic growth factor and primary end product of HGH pathway; produced in liver due to stimulation from HGH

• Promotes normal DHEA-S production – manufacture of all key hormone in supporting immune defenses & maintaining blood sugar levels

Melatonin

• Two Major Uses: • (1) Sleep Aid : take 1 hour prior to

bedtime to improve sleep quality• (2) Jet Lag: helps improve quality of

sleep – take at appropriate new bedtime on day of flight and for three days afterward
