Who would believe that a lack of an adrenal hormone could be related to hearing problems? Yet, in our lead article, Dr. Lippman explains how the hormone aldosterone has been shown to improve hearing! The origination of this information was found in earlier research, much of which was unearthed by Dr. Jonathan Wright and his team. I think it just goes to show that ‘old’ information is not necessarily ‘out of date’ information.

Indeed, it highlights that proper examination of the earlier publications can reveal important information- that even current research has not yet ‘rediscovered!’ In fact, it explains one of my jokes that I often say at meetings which is; “if you want to keep it a secret- publish it!”

Aldosterone, The Hearing Hormone Improved word recognition for those with hearing loss

By Dr. Richard Lippman

Researchers have discovered yet another hearing breakthrough that does not involve purchasing a hearing aid! With this new treatment, those with hearing loss caused by aging can enjoy increased sound volume and more importantly, improved word recognition.

As a result of their restored hearing and comprehension, those with hearing loss can become more sociable again without the need for hearing aids. Another benefit of this treatment is that those who suffer from the need to urinate frequently suddenly experience improved bladder control. A third benefit is the eradication of the type of dizzy spells that occur when a patient stands up quickly after sitting for a long period of time.

Patients enjoy all these benefits when they use eardrops that employ a special time-releasing mechanism for the hormone aldosterone. The eardrops are used in the morning so that the advanced time-release technology can release the natural hormone aldosterone slowly and evenly throughout the day in proximity to the cochlea, the hearing center of the ear. I have heard from numerous patients who are thrilled that these eardrops have allowed them to resume their formerly active social lives.

My experiences with aldosterone and hearing loss During the last thirty years, I have made many medical discoveries (including the nicotine patch) that have saved the lives of millions of people. I have also noticed that hormone deficiencies due to aging caused needless suffering in millions of people. This led me to the conclusion that the loss of hormones through shrinking endocrine glands can cause hearing loss and numerous other illnesses encountered during aging. One key hormone that declines with age is aldosterone. I have found that patients with hearing loss were temporarily helped by consuming aldosterone 125 mcg capsules two to five times daily. However, this effect was only temporary because natural aldosterone is metabolized quickly and excreted from the body. This meant that taking a large quantity of capsules throughout the day was necessary because aldosterone has a short metabolic half-life.

I believed that there had to be a better way to administer aldosterone and in 2011, I devised my Lippman Protocol, in which patients improved their hearing by taking natural aldosterone capsules some days and synthetic aldosterone (Florinef速) other days. For many patients, this protocol simplified the need to take hearing meds, but I was still dissatisfied. Then, in 2014, I devised

www.antiaging-systems.com // Order hotline: 1-866-800-4677 // e-mail: ias@antiaging-systems.com

yet another method of improving hearing by employing the latest in time-release technology. I applied this new, cutting-edge technology to the natural hormone aldosterone and discovered, much to my amazement, that word recognition, tinnitus and decreased bathroom visits were the additional fruits of my research!

History of attempts to improve hearing More than a decade ago in Rochester, New York, scientists correlated hearing loss with decreased blood levels of aldosterone.

They discovered that the more aldosterone present within the bloodstream, the better the hearing. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) verified this important research (1, 2, 3 and 5). Interestingly, people with hearing loss have, on average, less than half as much aldosterone in their blood as those with normal hearing. I’ve seen relatives of mine with hearing loss have one fourth to one sixth as much aldosterone as those with normal hearing.

Activating rows of hair cells that transmit sound to the brain The inner ear contains approximately 15,000 hair cells that vibrate to sound. They are divided into five rows and aldosterone appears to impact them. Aldosterone and fludrocortisone trigger puretone hearing thresholds by activating these five rows of hair cells in both ears. The result is increased sound volume in both the human voice and interfering background noises. However, word recognition is only partially remedied. In my lectures in Sweden, I made the following statement on this subject: “Apparently, the synthetic aldosterone drug, Florinef® (fludrocortisone) acts only on some inner-ear hair cell receptor sites while bioidentical (natural) aldosterone acts on all sites.

Sound volume increases but there is not necessarily better word discrimination. This duel receptor-site action triggers an 85 millivolts threshold of electrical conductivity through the nerves of the inner ear. This trigger also depends upon a balanced electrolyte ratio of potassium and sodium. Thus, this combined hormone and electrolyte action produces significant soundvolume hearing improvement, but rather marginal improvement in word recognition since only two of the five rows control word recognition and they are only marginally activated (4).”

Then in 2008, other researchers at the University of Portland in Oregon discovered that there was a reversal in hearing loss with aldosterone by increasing sodium transport in mice.

Apparently, the natural hormone aldosterone increases sodium versus potassium in the nerve endings in the cochlea (inner ear).

Indeed, researchers verified that the physiology of inner and middle ear improves somewhat with aldosterone (5). However, the synthetic version of aldosterone, fludrocortisone, seems to attach

so completely to the aldosterone receptor sites that it prevents natural aldosterone from fully activating its own receptors.

Eminent Harvard graduate and antiaging specialist, Dr. Jonathan Wright, of the Tahoma Clinic in Renton, Washington found that one patient with Meniere’s disease improved his hearing by 30 decibels at 250 Hz when 125 micrograms of bioidentical (natural) aldosterone were consumed twice daily for seven months (4). I confirmed these results by improving patients’ hearing by more than 30 decibels at 3,000 Hz with my special protocol. This latter result is especially important since 3,000 Hz falls squarely inside the human vocal range.

At this approximate 3,000 Hz vocal level, patients’ hearing could be improved by as much as 40 decibels, but only after several months of applying my 2011 Lippman Protocol. There was a problem, however, that was that word recognition was impaired and sometimes non-existent and difficulties with tinnitus continued.

“Dr. Wright and I confirmed that hearing volume improved dramatically when taking aldosterone” Possible side effects Regarding adverse effects, Dr. Wright has stated: “None of the people I’ve worked with have had any adverse effects from aldosterone therapy, likely because the use of bioidentical, physiologic-dose aldosterone restores levels to those that would be found in the body anyway” (4).

In my research, I found that not everyone wants a 40-decibel enhancement. Such an enhancement can typically cause street noises to become too loud and even necessitate wearing earplugs at movie theaters. At times, due to this therapy, patients are forced to cover their ears tightly when an emergency vehicle drove by.

In addition, I found that greatly enhanced hearing necessitates remembering to raise one’s voice during a conversation in order to be clearly heard by those with normal hearing.

Dr. Wright and I confirmed that hearing volume improved dramatically when taking aldosterone and that forgetting to take it resulted in an unfortunate and dramatic return to hearing deficiency, tinnitus, and possible social isolation.

We tested urine levels of aldosterone and confirmed that very low scores of below 5 micrograms per 24 hours were found in hearing deficient patients compared to scores of 20 to 30 micrograms per 24 hours in people with normal hearing. In fact, Dr. Wright’s 84-year-old patient consumed natural aldosterone capsules and increased his sound volume from 23 to 91 percent in his right ear and from 3 to 81 percent in his left ear (4).

How do hormones and nutrients impact hearing?

Schematic shows the inner workings on the ear.

Low aldosterone is often seen as a biomarker for aging. Aging causes imbalances in the circadian rhythm (sleep cycle), which often result in the adrenal glands producing more and more of the stress hormone cortisol and less and less of other critical hormones such as aldosterone and DHEA, (an anabolic hormone that builds new tissues). The excess cortisol causes insomnia and unnecessary destruction of the body’s tissues (catabolic), while simultaneously decreasing aldosterone and causing hearing loss, frequent urination and declining DHEA. Low aldosterone may also lead to symptoms such as dizziness,

low blood pressure, thirst, dehydration, and salt cravings. Many of these symptoms result in imbalances in the potassium /sodium ratio that leads to fatigue and cellular energy loss in the inner ear’s 15,000 hair cells.

Externally, signs of significant dehydration can be seen in people with fine lines, pinched faces, sinuous necks and a profound daily need for cosmetic lotions that superficially moisten their skin (6). Thus, a billion dollar cosmetic industry continues to sell their moisturizing and anti-wrinkle creams while the underlying medical problems, namely low hormone levels, remain untreated.

In addition to low aldosterone and an imbalance in potassium and sodium, other vital nutrients may be lacking. Vitamins B12 (methylcobalamin preferred), folate (methylfolate – NOT folic acid) and oxytocin are nutrients essential to normal hearing.

Interestingly, hearing loss may sometimes be reversed if 5,000 units of vitamin D3 are taken as a daily supplement.

Note: Some prescription drugs such as Aldactone® (spironolactone) can impair hearing. (7)

Current hearing enhancement research Much to the astonishment of my colleagues, I discovered that a patient should consume only one 125 mcg capsule of natural aldosterone daily and that it should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. For those over the age of 50 who often have impaired stomach absorption, I recommend drinking 4 ounces of grapefruit juice with the capsule. My natural aldosterone therapy improves hearing volume by more than 30 decibels when continued for several months. This decibel quantity is huge: 30 decibels-plus means the difference between deafness and fairly normal hearing. For example, after following the Lippman Protocol for about a month, the hearing-impaired are able to carry on a conversation at a loud party with high volume background music. Sufficient hearing at loud parties becomes possible despite having consumed only a single capsule 15 hours earlier in the day.

“What makes better medical sense: taking one capsule or... amplifying the volume on an already damaged hearing system?”

The Lippman one-capsule-daily protocol for increased volume only On the morning of day one of the Lippman Protocol, take 20 micrograms of fludrocortisone with filtered water. Over the next two days, take one capsule of 125 micrograms of aldosterone daily before breakfast. On the fourth day, repeat the cycle, starting with again with fludrocortisone. This regimen will ensure constant high-decibel enhancement, except during sleeping hours, in which reduced hearing and increased tinnitus recur.

For greater absorption into the bloodstream, I recommend drinking grapefruit juice with the aldosterone capsules. But do not use grapefruit juice with fludrocortisone (or for that matter any other prescription drug). Also, notice that only tiny, judicious microgram doses of aldosterone and fludrocortisone are employed. According to Europe’s foremost endocrinologist, Thierry Hertoghe, MD, use only the smallest, most judicious dose possible for efficacy. More is not better when it comes to

all hormones and nutriceuticals. Mega dosing is a mistake. This advice helps to prevent the serious side effects often seen when hormones and nutriceuticals are used excessively. Do not mega dose! For example, 100 micrograms of fludrocortisone can cause sleepiness and lethargy.

On the other hand, in patients who have difficulties with word recognition, I recommend the all new aldosterone product, AldoSpray™ eardrops, which slowly time-releases aldosterone, thus allowing for improved word recognition.

Aldo-Spray™ use improves sound volume and word recognition Aldo-Spray™ is easy to use. Upon waking, simply tilt your head to each side and press the plunger on the applicator bottle to enable a single dose of Aldo-Spray™ to enter each ear canal. Wipe off excess fluid with a paper towel.

Most people will notice some hearing improvement after about one hour; a hearing improvement of approximately 30 decibels to 40 decibels occurs two to three hours after application. In some people, both hearing and word recognition continue to improve throughout the day. In addition, tinnitus subsides throughout the day but returns at night, when aldosterone in the body returns to a deficient level. Before bedtime, you should gently clean your ear canals by using a cotton swab or by washing them out with soap and water.

Treatment of the ear canals before use Before using Aldo-Spray™, be sure to check with your hearing specialist to determine that you don’t have a fungal growth in your ear canals. A typical symptom of fungal growth is itchiness in the ear. Ear canal fungal growth may be treated with a synthetic anti-fungal medication like Nystatin©. However, I’d strongly recommend using a completely natural solution called Pro-Ear™ that is available from several online retailers.

Old habits are hard to break Recently, two physician friends were skeptical and feared changing their old habit of recommending only hearing aids to their patients. They asked me why I bothered with a bunch of capsules or sprays.

“Why not just buy a hearing aid?” one ear, nose, and throat doctor asked me. I answered him with a question: “What makes better medical sense: taking one capsule or spray daily and correcting a hormone deficiency or amplifying the volume on an already damaged hearing system?” My question flummoxed and silenced both of them.

We should be enjoying our golden years without high-volume hearing aids distorting already damaged hearing systems. You decide. One capsule/ one spray a day works!

Affected molecules can be anything from collagen and elastin, to enzymes and immune-proteins. Facilitators during cross-linking are the carbonyl groups (+ C=O -) which act like glue, fixing the two proteins together. Carbonyls are chemical groups which are formed as a result of a sugar (or an aldehyde, ketone or free radical) reacting with amino acids on a protein. In addition, carbonyls can be formed in other situations involving lipids or DNA, so they are not necessarily restricted to proteins. Carbonyls may thus cause not only protein-to-protein cross-linking, but also protein-to-DNA, or protein-to-lipid cross-linking, which is equally damaging to the organism. A condition called ‘carbonyl stress’ has been described. It involves increased levels of reactive carbonyl compounds which make cross-linking much more likely (1) and result in loss of function.

Cross-linking results in formation of large insoluble aggregates of damaged proteins in the tissues. These aggregates have been named AGEs (Advanced Glycosylation End products) (or ‘post-Amadori products’, or ‘glycotoxins’) and may then go on to interact with free radicals and cause further tissue injury, through chronic oxidation.

Although a steady rate of AGE formation happens as a result of normal aging (starting after the age of 20), formation of AGEs is accelerated during hyperglycaemic states such as diabetes. Copper, iron and other metals may hasten AGE formation.

The ultimate AGE inhibitors

By Marios Kyriazis, M.D. We’ve known for several decades that the process of glycosylation is one of the most important causes of aging, perhaps equally as important as the process of oxidation.

During our daily metabolism, sugar molecules (such as glucose and fructose) and reactive aldehydes and/or ketones may combine to any free amino groups on proteins, a process called non-enzymatic glycosylation (glycation). This reaction is called the Maillard reaction (Fig. 1). The Maillard reaction results in a glycated protein (i.e. a protein carrying a sugar [or similar molecules] on it). This glycated protein (called an Amadori product) may then react with any other proteins, resulting in irreversible bonding between the two. This bonding process is named ‘cross-linking,’ and it is present in all ageing organisms.

Once formed, AGEs inhibit cellular transport processes, stimulate cells to produce more free radicals (such as superoxide and nitric oxide), and activate pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a) and interleukin 6. In addition, some AGEs are immunogenic (causing age-related auto-immunity) or mutagenic (increasing the risk of cancer), whereas others increase the activity of adhesion molecules, reduce protein degradation rate and reduce cell proliferation--all of which ensure that the risk of degenerative disease is increased. Also, AGEs stimulate apoptosis, resulting in excessive loss of cells contributing further to the risk of degeneration. Some AGEs up-regulate genes which are involved in chronic inflammation reactions.

An important product of cross-linking is Glucosepane (Fig. 2). This derives from D-glucose, and is a lysine-arginine protein advanced glycation end product. Currently, it has been impossible to break this bond and reverse its effects, despite intense research into the matter.

It is present in molecules such as collagen and crystalline in the eyes.

Glucosepane

Fig. 2. Making Glucosepane. Dr. David Spiegel’s group’s approach to making glucosepane. Two low-cost, common laboratory chemicals are combined in several steps to give the precursor to glucosepane, which can easily be used to make glucosepane-linked amino acids or peptides. This artificially-produced glucosepane can now be used to develop reagents that can rapidly and specifically detect proteins that have been crosslinked by it. The development of such reagents is, in turn, a significant enabling technology for the development and testing of candidate glucosepane-breaking drugs.

At the clinical level, cross-linking contributes significantly to diabetic complications, lower immunity and increased risk of cancer, atherosclerosis and hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease (through the formation of amyloid, which is a type of AGE), cataract, kidney damage, skin ageing, and other age-related diseases (2).

The process of cross-linking through glycation was hitherto thought to be irreversible, and this was one typical example of the immutability of ageing. There are many compounds aimed at preventing cross-linking, but during the past several years, new products have

www.antiaging-systems.com // Order hotline: 1-866-800-4677 // e-mail: ias@antiaging-systems.com

also been developed directed specifically at breaking the abnormal bonds between already cross-linked proteins, practically reversing protein ageing (3). Both classes of drugs, the cross-link inhibitors and the cross-link breakers, have been found to offer remarkable benefits at the clinical level, although some of these compounds suffered from commercial problems.

Cross-link Inhibitors There are several commercially available cross-link inhibitors.

Examples of these include carnosine, aminoguanidine, metformin, acarbose, benfotiamine, and pyridoxamine. Some of these (like acarbose and metformin) are already in use as anti-diabetic drugs-but new research coming to light is now emphasizing their additional anti-cross-linking effects. Other not yet widely available inhibitors are penicillamine, Tenilsetam, OPB9195, phenazinediamine (2,3-diaminophenazone), and several hundred others still in development (4), including derivatives of aminoguanidine.

Many cross-link inhibitors are nucleophilic traps (scavengers) for reactive carbonyl intermediates. They are also copper chelators, and so they minimise the risk of both cross-linking and consequent age-related damage. In addition, they block soluble receptors (sRAGEs) or specific receptors (RAGEs) which recognize AGEs. Some soluble receptors circulate freely, whereas specific ones can be found on macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. When an AGE molecule interacts with a RAGE it forms an adduct which is then prone to create more damage through oxidation and increased metal toxicity.

The following is a list of some common or relevant anti-glycators.

This should not be considered exhaustive, but is merely meant to act as an initial stimulus and form the basis of further self-study, in association with a qualified practitioner (Fig. 3).

Another important carnosine activity is ‘carnosinylation’, which is a process whereby carnosine attaches to the protein bearing a carbonyl group, thus blocking the carbonyl from attaching to another protein.

It is just like placing a piece of paper (carnosine) between two proteins bearing glue (carbonyls). In other words, carnosine reacts with carbonylated proteins to form carnosine-carbonyl-protein adducts.

These adducts are then removed by proteolysis and degradation.

Carnosine has a direct antioxidant action, and it also has a sparing effect on other antioxidants such as glutathione. It is a strong chelator of copper and can reduce copper-mediated damage during AGE activity (7). Finally, it has a possible, yet unconfirmed, bond-breaking capability by dissolving certain bonds (S-S bonds) on cross-linked proteins.

At the clinical level, carnosine reduced urinary products of free radical and glycosylation metabolism in humans (8). One of the most important developments regarding carnosine is its ability to prevent and cure age-related cataract, and possibly glaucoma and other age-related eye conditions (9). In this respect the form of carnosine used is N-acetyl-carnosine. This curative action of carnosine is perhaps related to its ability to stimulate proteolysis and thus dissolve protein aggregates in the lens.

The dosage of carnosine remains a contentious issue. Some authorities suggest 1000 mg a day (or even more), while some others are more conservative, suggesting 200-500 mg a day.

Metformin Metformin (brand names Glucophage®, Metforal®) is a standard anti-diabetic drug (dimethyl-biguanide) used worldwide against both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Although it is used primarily to increase peripheral sensitivity to insulin and lower blood glucose, metformin has several other important actions which are not yet appreciated by many physicians.

Metformin lowers cholesterol, reduces body fat, stimulates antioxidant defences and is also an effective inhibitor of glycation. It reduces the formation of AGEs, particularly those affecting collagen, and prevents diastolic stiffness in the myocardium. It has direct anti-glycation effects and improves cross-linking induced damage to nerves in diabetic rats. Its main mechanism of action is its carbonyl trapping ability (10).

Carnosine The dipeptide carnosine (beta alanyl- L-histidine) is a naturally-occurring agent found in muscle and nervous tissue (5). Carnosine has shown a lot of promise as one of the most promising cross-link inhibitors. It has multiple actions and as such it has been called a pluripotent agent. One way carnosine works is by scavenging for free carbonyl groups. Carnosine is one of the few cross-link inhibitors that is not only active against protein-to-protein cross-linking, but also against protein-to-DNA cross-linking (6).

In a recent clinical trial the effect on metformin on methylglyoxal was studied in patients with diabetes. Metformin significantly reduced methylglyoxal and thus reduced the effects of hyperglycaemia (11). Methylglyoxal, and the related compound, glyoxal, are both reactive carbonyl agents (alpha-dicarbonyls) which are blocked by the guanidine molecule, (remember that metformin is a guanidine-containing drug). Specifically, the guanidine moiety of metformin combines with methylglyoxal dicarbonyls to form guanidine-dicarbonyl adducts which are then eliminated from the tissues. With reduced amounts of carbonyl groups in the tissues, the likelihood of cross-linking is reduced. This mechanism of action is similar to that of aminoguanidine, which, as the name suggests, is also a guanidine-containing molecule.

More recent experiments show metformin to have widespread activities as a cross-link inhibitor. It reduces cross-linking of fibrin proteins which take part in the clotting of blood. Exaggerated cross-linking of fibrin results in abnormal blood clotting, and therefore an increased risk of thrombosis (and consequent myocardial infarction or stroke). Metformin reduces fibrin cross-linking and therefore, ultimately, reduces the risk of thrombosis.

In summary, with regards to glycation, metformin has a dual effect.

It normalizes blood glucose (a well-known and established activity) plus, as new research is revealing, it is an effective inhibitor of cross-linking through carbonyl trapping.

Metformin should be used under medical supervision with monitoring of liver and kidney function. The dose is 500 mg twice to three

times a day. Dr. Ward Dean recommends that everybody over the age of 40 should be taking metformin, and research into the anti-glycation benefits of metformin supports this recommendation as a preventative anti-AGE drug.

Aminoguanidine An agent structurally similar to metformin is aminoguanidine (Pimagidine). Aminoguanidine has been studied extensively with encouraging reports. As with metformin, aminoguanidine is also a guanidine-containing agent, and therefore also acts as a carbonyl trapping agent. Aminoguanidine was one of the first AGE inhibitors, introduced in 1986 as a trap or scavenger of reactive carbonyl groups.

Aminoguanidine works by forming guanidine-dicarbonyl adducts, thereby reducing the numbers of free carbonyl groups. In particular, it is active against certain aldehydes which contribute to cross-linking (e.g. alpha-oxoaldehyde, and malondialdehyde). Aminoguanidine is active mainly during the early stages of glycosylation.

It is an effective inhibitor of cross-linking initiated by glucose molecules, but not as effective in situations involving ribose-related cross-linking. In any case, it prevents collagen cross-linking in tendons and skin which shows its potential for prevention of muscle and joint age-related stiffness and skin ageing (wrinkles).

Recently, researchers confirmed that aminoguanidine is useful in improving wound healing, a property shared with carnosine. The mechanism is mainly due to its anti-glycation and collagen improving effects (12). It limits the development of diabetic complications in animals, and it has shown promising actions in improving diabetic nephropathy in double blind human trials. In addition, it is a weak copper chelator. Copper chelation is important in AGE induced damage, as high amounts of free copper are more likely to increase AGE-induced injury. In association with kavalactones, another group of anti-aging compounds, it was found to chelate copper and iron, and also reduced glycosylation products (13).

In a study, aminoguanidine was given to a group of rats daily for several weeks. The researchers found that AGE levels in the eye were significantly reduced, and loss of visual cells was also minimised.

This indicates an anti-glycation effect on both the molecules (AGEs) and the receptors for these molecules (RAGEs), resulting in a protective effect on the retina (useful protection against retinal degeneration) (14). This AGE blocking effect of aminoguanidine on the retina has been shown in several experiments in the past, and it seems to be very relevant in preventing age-related degeneration of the retina.

Aminoguanidine prevents cardiac enlargement by reducing the risk of glycation-induced damage to cardiac and aortic collagen (15). In addition, it prevents cross-linking between lipoproteins (proteins carrying fat molecules) and therefore reduces the risk of blockage of the arteries, particularly the small arteries that feed the nerves.

It is such a strong carbonyl scavenger that it can sometimes result in excessive removal of carbonyl groups (which, in small quantities, are necessary for the normal functioning of the metabolism). This can, on rare occasions, give rise to toxicity, particularly if aminoguanidine is used in excessive doses (over 600 mg daily without medical supervision). In theory, the concomitant use of pyridoxamine (see below) can reduce the likelihood of this potential problem. Aminoguanidine has other actions which complement its anti-glycation effects.

For example, it reduces inflammation by interfering with the nitric oxide actions (16).

Acting as an α-Dicarbonyl trap, aminoguanidine showed some initial promise as a glucosepane blocker. However, more research is needed in this respect.

Aminoguanidine has a short half-life in the plasma, so it must be given in relatively high doses in order to continuously trap AGE compounds. The dose is 150 mg once or twice a day, but diabetics sometimes use double this dose. Side effects are rare and mild and in-

clude nausea or headache. There are two main varieties of aminoguanidine, the hydrochloride and the bicarbonate variety. Although the bicarbonate variety is more commonly available, the hydrochloride version is believed to be the most active (bioavailable) as it is more soluble. Aminoguanidine may be used together with carnosine which is active both in early and late stages of glycosylation, or together with metformin, particularly in diabetics.

More cutting-edge ways of administering aminoguanidine include the novel concept of bio- conjugation, i.e. the attachment of the aminoguanidine molecule to gold nanoparticles (17). As mentioned above, high doses of aminoguanidine may cause side effects, but conjugation with nanoparticles may help reduce these adverse effects and maximise the positive effects.

Acarbose Another drug used in diabetes is Acarbose (Glucobay®), an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. Alpha-glucosidases are enzymes which facilitate the breakdown of complex carbohydrates (such as starch) into smaller sugar molecules which are then absorbed through the intestinal wall. Acarbose blocks this, thereby inhibiting the absorption of certain sugar molecules such as maltose and sucrose, while allowing the absorption of glucose and lactose, which are needed for energy. In this way the overall absorption of carbohydrates is reduced and this lessens the risk of glycation-induced damage and AGE formation.

Acarbose’s main benefits include a reduction of blood lipids (reduced uptake of triglycerides), an aid to weight loss, and important anti-glycation activity (18). As with metformin, acarbose has hitherto been used primarily to reduce blood glucose and therefore improve the symptoms of diabetes. However, new research is unravelling its anti-glycation properties which are in addition to its glucose-lowering actions. For this reason, acarbose is not only indicated for treatment of diabetes, but also for treatment of diabetic complications and other AGE-related damage. Several studies have shown that Acarbose reduces the formation of glycated proteins (including the glycated haemoglobin A1c, which is a marker for diabetes). Acarbose is safe but it may have side effects such as abdominal pain and cramps, bloatedness and diarrhea. These are due to excessive amounts of unabsorbed carbohydrates in the bowel. The usual dose is 50 to 100 mg three times daily. For greater benefits, it may be worth using acarbose together with other cross-link inhibitors such as carnosine.

Acarbose is best taken by chewing the tablets, usually just before or during meals.

Pyridoxamine There are three different vitamers of Vitamin B6: pyridoxal, pyridoxine (the form traditionally used in supplementation) and pyridoxamine. All of these are naturally occurring. Pyridoxamine (brand name Pyridox-Pro™) is found in animal sources, whereas pyridoxine is also found in plant sources. All three variants have a certain degree of anti-cross-linking actions, but pyridoxamine is the strongest and most significant. Trials are in progress to evaluate the product’s safety and efficacy in preventing diabetic complications.

Pyridoxamine prevents the formation of AGEs by 25-50%, and ameliorates diabetes-related kidney dysfunction (it improves albuminuria, plasma creatinine and hyperlipidemia). It works by trapping reactive carbonyl groups and exhibits free radical scavenging properties.

It is most effective in the later stages of glycosylation and therefore, for full protection, it may be used together with aminoguanidine which is active in the early stages of glycosylation. In fact, comparison studies with aminoguanidine suggest that although both are effective against AGEs, pyridoxamine may be a more versatile agent to use against glycosylation in order to avoid the low risk of potential toxicity problems with aminoguanidine mentioned above.

Pyridoxamine does not affect the levels of blood glucose. It inhibits both methylglyoxal and glycoaldehydes which are most active follow-

ing lipid peroxidation. It forms methylglyoxal-pyridoxamine dimers which are inactive and eliminated easily. There have been reports of neurotoxicity from using very high doses of pyridoxine, but the use of pyridoxamine is thought to be free from these side effects.

The reason is that pyridoxamine needs to be phosphorylated (i.e. it needs the addition of phosphate on the main molecule) before it can become active.

Lalezari-Rahbar (LR) compounds These are aromatic organic acids named after the developers, and are relatively new AGE inhibitors. Apart from anti-diabetic and anti-glycation effects, these have also been shown to have lipid-lowering benefits. Although several of their benefits are similar to those of aminoguanidine, these LR products are not carbonyl blockers.

They are, however, good heavy metal chelators, like carnosine and aminoguanidine. It is believed that chelation alone, in the absence of carbonyl trapping, can be a good way of blocking AGEs.

Summary One of the most useful, well-studied and relevant anti-glycators is aminoguanidine, with others such as carnosine, metformin and acarbose being close second. There are many others in the pipeline, but it is rather disappointing that despite intense research there are no efficient cross-link breakers available. The problem of glycation is proving to be a tough one to solve, but nevertheless it may be possible to delay the process by using existing proven anti-crosslinking compounds such as aminoguanidine.

Protein lysines Schiff base

Less useful anti-glycators (either because of a weak effect or because they are not easily available), are: • Penicillamine. Although not a potent anti-glycator, penicillamine can be used to improve arterial wall function which has been compromised due to glycation. In this respect, it has been used in association with vitamin E (19).

• Tenilsetam (3-2-thienyl-2-piperazinone). This been used as a brain stimulant (nootropic). New research has examined its anti-AGE actions and its significant glycosylation-inhibiting benefits. It works like most cross-link blockers, namely by carbonyl trapping. In addition, Tenilsetam has antioxidant activities and copper chelating properties.

• OPB-9195 (2-isopropyli-denehydrazono-4-oxo-thiazolidin-5-ylacetanilide). This carbonyl-trapping agent is a synthetic thiazolium derivative which inhibits cross-linking and improves kidney function.

It also improves vascular function and reduces arterial thickening.

• Pentoxifylline (brand name Trendal®) is normally used to improve circulation to the extremities.

• Kinetin (furfuriladenine) brand name Kinerase®. In a study, kinetin inhibited carbonyl activity and reduced AGEs by up to 68%, but there are no new studies to confirm these benefits.

• Kavalactones are some promising and relatively new inhibitors of protein glycation. These are also effective against lipid peroxidation (13).

• Benfotiamine. This is a very promising compound which has several other actions as well as being anti-glycator. In a study, a combination of pyridoxamine and benfotiamine was found to improve pain, reduce inflammation and improve the quality of life in osteoarthritis patients (20).

Cross-link Breakers Paradoxically, what is probably the most important cross-link breaker is the no-longer-available drug ALT-711, an orally active compound. This is a thiazolium product (dimethyl-3-phenacyl-thiazolium chloride) formerly manufactured by the Alteon Corporation in the US. A related compound is PTB (dimethyl-Phenacyl-Thiazolium Bromide), which has actions similar to the chloride variety. ALT-711 is not an enzyme as such, but had enzymatic properties. It was shown to actually break the covalent bonds between cross-linked proteins and free the proteins which were then able to function again normally. It had also been studied in a number of human clinical trials.

It was found to be effective in reversing some of the complications of diabetes, improving myocardial and arterial stiffness, heart failure, and reducing blood pressure.

Unfortunately, its production has been stopped, despite showing promising effects. A main reason for this was the lack of funds available to the manufacturing company. Nevertheless, research into this compound continues and many of its effects are now better clarified (21).

5-HTP

the natural SSRI alternative

By James South, MA

5-HTP (otherwise known as 5-hydroxytryptophan or oxitriptan), is the less well known cousin of serotonin (5-HT), one of the most important brain neurotransmitters.

5HTP vs. tryptophan The amino acid L-tryptophan found within our diet is first converted to 5-HTP inside the body by nerve cells via a vitamin B3 dependant enzyme and then 5-HTP is converted to 5-HT by a vitamin B6 dependant

enzyme. Yet now, thanks to modern science, we can take preformed 5-HTP, with its many consequent advantages.

5-HTP passes through the blood brain barrier into the brain far more easily than tryptophan and getting tryptophan through the blood brain barrier is the main bottleneck, which in many people leads to inadequate brain serotonin levels. Also, 5-HTP is not used to make proteins in the body, while tryptophan is, so there isn’t competition by cells outside the brain

13

for 5-HTP, as there is for the body’s scare tryptophan supplies.

precursor for brain dopamine/ noradrenaline is given along with 5-HTP, the effect is even more powerful.

The body often uses tryptophan to make vitamin B3, at a very high cost of 60 mg L-tryptophan to make just 1 mg of B3! However, 5-HTP is not wasted in this way to make vitamin B3.

5HTP vs. SSRI’s

L-tryptophan can be broken down in the liver by pyrrolase, an enzyme that converts tryptophan to kynurenine and its metabolites, which can be mildly liver toxic at high levels. But, 5-HTP is not metabolized through this pathway.

Because of this, L-tryptophan supplementation especially in chronically stressed people should be kept to 1 gram (1000 mg) per day or less, because the stress hormone- cortisol activates pyrrolase.

“Human clinical studies show that 5-HTP is a far more efficient increaser of brain serotonin than L-tryptophan.”

Serotonin and mood The work of HM van Praag, SN Young and others over the last 20 years, shows that serotonin is a key brain neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation (anti-anxiety and anti-depression), impulse control, (it inhibits aggression and obsessive compulsive disorders [OCD] and pain). Serotonin is also the precursor for our pineal gland’s production of melatonin.

Human clinical studies show that 5-HTP is a far more efficient increaser of brain serotonin than L-tryptophan. Furthermore, when 5-HTP has been compared to tryptophan in human studies, 5-HTP has been a far more successful antidepressant, even when the tryptophan dosage used is 10 to 15 times higher than the 5-HTP dosage. Also, relapses back into depression are more common with tryptophan than with 5-HTP. Unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP has also been shown to increase brain dopamine and noradrenaline activity.

These are two key mood and alertness regulating neurotransmitters and when tyrosine, the amino-acid 14

In a society that has made the serotonin-selective re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs such as Prozac® the gold standard of managing the serotonin-deficiency syndrome, (note: even though the Poeldinger study showed 5-HTP to be superior to it), it is worth noting that a study reported by Risch and Nemeroff demonstrates, that even those successfully treated with SSRIs (ignoring their frequent and sometimes serious side effects), are still dependent upon their brains’ producing adequate serotonin from either tryptophan or 5-HTP.

SSRIs vs 5-HTP SSRIs work by conserving existing brain serotonin supplies by keeping more serotonin in the synaptic gap between neurons. They achieve this through preventing enzymatic degradation of synaptic serotonin. SSRIs do not enhance serotonin production. Risch and Nemeroff state; “...depressed patients were treated with low-tryptophan diets that were supplemented with high doses of neutral amino acids [which compete with tryptophan for transport through the blood-brain barrier]... Remitted depressed subjects receiving serotonergic antidepressants (e.g. fluoxetine [Prozac®], fluvoxamine) who were challenged with low-tryptophan diet supplemented with neutral amino acids promptly relapsed into severe clinical depression. When the tryptophan supplementation was provided, the patients promptly recovered...”

The many successful published studies using 5-HTP show that 5-HTP, by naturally elevating brain serotonin, can alleviate the serotonin-deficiency syndrome without any help from SSRI drugs. Yet the study related by Risch and Nemeroff eloquently shows that the success of SSRI drugs is crucially dependent upon the brain producing adequate serotonin, (from either tryptophan or 5-HTP) and that brain serotonin production is the controlling or rate-limiting variable underlying the apparent success of SSRIs. It appears that the more logical and economically sound choice to alleviate conditions that result from the serotonin deficiency syndrome is 5-HTP, the

immediate precursor of the deficient substance.

Conclusion Van Praag’s and Young’s work suggests that 5-HTP is more likely to be effective for those suffering an anxious, agitated, aggressive, irritable depression and is rarely effective for those suffering from a severe, vegetative, total “blahs” type depression.

Side effects of 5-HTP are occasional gastrointestinal upset, hypomania and euphoria, but whilst 5-HTP is a natural substance normally made by the brain, without medical supervision prudence suggests limiting daily dosage to 100 mg to 200 mg; the dose shown to be effective in human clinical studies.

Research also shows that both tryptophan and even more so 5-HTP, increase the activity of MAO inhibitor drugs, tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin inhibitor (SSRI) drugs, such as Prozac®, Paxil® and Zoloft®. Therefore L-tryptophan and especially 5-HTP should only be used by anyone taking any of these drugs ONLY under their prescribing physician’s consent and supervision.

Dr Ward Dean answers your questions We are delighted that Ward Dean, M.D., one of the world’s foremost antiaging physicians, has agreed to answer our readers’ questions. Full details about Dr. Dean can be seen at his website: www.warddeanmd.com

Dear Dr. Dean, Q. I am 46 years of age. In 2009, I developed diabetes insipidus. I had an inflammation on my pituitary gland and as a result I started drinking lots of very cold water with ice. I gained over 20 kg in a few months. I am continuing to experience weight gain, can’t control my weight and I still wake up in the night and drink lots of water, ½ liter at a time. I feel depressed and I don’t sweat. My endocrinologist gave me thyroxin for my thyroid. I feel better, but I’m not 100% as I once was. What supplements would you recommend for me? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I.C., Australia

A. Dear Mrs. I.C., Diabetes insipidus is indeed due to pituitary dysfunction, specifically to a loss of anti-diuretic hormone produced by the posterior pituitary for whatever reason. Often, it can result following delivery of a baby. For those not familiar with the condition, diabetes insipidus is similar to someone who urinates excessively after drinking alcohol, (because alcohol inhibits the production of antidiuretic hormone). Of course, with alcohol use, the condition is self-limited by discontinuing alcohol ingestion. Unfortunately, in your case, the pituitary isn’t doing its job, for some reason.

Therapeutically, I suggest you add vasopressin (or desmopressin) to your daily regimen, once or

twice per day, as needed. For convenience, I suggest especially at bedtime, to help you sleep without bathroom interruptions.

Second, I’m sure your endocrinologist is adjusting your dose of thyroid based on your blood tests, rather than how you are really doing. I believe that thyroid blood tests are usually a waste of blood— and that the dose of thyroid replacement should be based on how the patient is doing, and whether the thyroid-related spectrum of symptoms are resolving, while monitoring the heart rate and body temperature, as described by Dr. Rick Wilkinson, in his article, The Epidemic of Low Thyroid Diseases, in Aging Matters™ Magazine, issue # 4, 2014.1 I generally use Armour® or one of the other natural forms of thyroid, instead of thyroxine (T4, the inactive form of thyroid hormone, must be deiodinated to T3 to become active). Titrate the dose upwards, progressively over weeks to months, until you arrive at a dose with which you are comfortable, and relatively symptom-free, with a normal (65-75 beats/minute) heart rate and normal temperature. If your thyroid hormone level is inadequate, you will have an extremely difficult time trying to normalize your weight. Also, depression is a hallmark of hypothyroidism and is one of the first symptoms to be relieved with appropriate doses of thyroid.

I also suggest metformin, 500 mg three times per

“Acarbose... is a starch blocker—i.e., it blocks the conversion of complex carbohydrates into glucose and delays their absorption” Another component that I often recommend is acarbose. Acarbose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor—in layman’s language, it is a starch blocker—i.e., it blocks the conversion of complex carbohydrates into glucose and delays their absorption, resulting in overall reduced glucose spikes, and reduced caloric absorption. When used with metformin, acarbose greatly enhances weight loss. I recommend 100 mg three times per day, with meals (or carbohydrate-laden snacks), make sure you chew the tablets not swallow them.

I believe that with the combination of vasopressin (to assist your pituitary), increasing your dose of thyroid, and adding Metformin and Acarbose to your regimen will greatly alleviate your thirst and excessive diuresis, weight gain and depression.

In addition, I have been reliably informed that the Russian peptide bioregulator for the bladder, called Chitomur® is a useful adjunct to reduce urination.

I don’t have personal experience of this yet, but considering the safety profile of these peptides could well be worth a try.

Let me know how you do, Ward Dean, M.D. [Editor- IAS provides acarbose as 100 mg tablets branded Glucobay®, metformin is available from IAS as Metforal® 500 mg tablets and also in SR (slow release) tablets; vasopressin is available in nasal spray as Vaso-Pro™ and desmopressin is available as a nasal spray as Minurin®].

Q. I’ve read a lot of your stuff over the years and know that you’re a big fan of niacin (Vitamin B3, nicotinic acid) for normalizing blood lipids. What are your thoughts regarding the recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine, which disparaged the lipid-lowering benefits of niacin and implied that it was actually toxic?

J.E., California

A. Dear Mr. J.E., Thanks for giving me the opportunity to respond to this issue. The study in question was not a study of niacin, per se. It was actually a study comparing the addition of extended-release niacin plus laropiprant, (an antihistamine which purportedly reduced niacininduced flushing) to patients who were already taking simvastatin 40 mg per day, or simvastatin plus ezetimibe 10 mg per day, (ezetimibe is a drug that is designed to increase HDL). (1) I was really surprised to note that it wasn’t just a single article warning against niacin. The same issue of the New England Journal coincidentally had a Letter to the Editor, questioning the “Safety Profile of Extended-Release Niacin in the AIM-HIGH Trial,” (2) and an Editorial, “Niacin and HDL Cholesterol— Time to Face Facts” (3)—i.e., a triple take-out piece!

day. If you have read much of my material, based on the works of Prof. Vladimir Dilman, you will know that metformin is a “metabolic rejuvenator,” that restores hypothalamic (and pituitary) receptor sensitivity to insulin, cortisol, and other hormones.

Metformin is an integral component of the weight loss program that I implement in my clinic.

Metformin normalizes insulin and enhances its effectiveness, generally resulting in significant weight loss in my overweight patients.

Figure 1: Life extending effect of niacin. 16 year mortality data on men in the Coronary Drug Project, showing that those on nicotinic acid lived about two years longer than those on placebo.

The authors concluded that the Niacin-Laropiprant combination; “did not significantly reduce the risk of major vascular events, but did significantly increase the risk of serious adverse harm,” and alleged that, “the study identified significant hazards, some of which had not been reported previously with niacin.”

Let’s digress. The cholesterol-lowering effects of nicotinic acid were first reported in 1955.(4) The clinical benefits of immediate-release nicotinic acid were best demonstrated in the Coronary Drug Project (CDP), which compared immediaterelease niacin with other cholesterol-lowering regimens on cardiovascular end points.(5) In the CDP, immediate-release niacin reduced the total cholesterol level by 26 mg/dl (from a high baseline level of 253 mg/dl) and after six years, reduced the incidence of non-fatal MI (heart attacks) by 26% and cerebrovascular events (strokes) by 24%. Moreover, 9 years after trial termination, the group treated with niacin had 11% fewer deaths than the placebo group (Fig. 1). (5) Although lipid fractions were not measured in the CDP, subsequent studies with immediate-release niacin showed that it reduces LDL up to 25%, triglycerides up to 50% and Lp(a) up to 35%; and increases HDL up to 35%. (6-8) The most commonly reported side effect of immediate-release niacin are the well-known flushing and itching of the skin, (cutaneous vasodilation) that can be so uncomfortable that it may cause some people to discontinue taking it.

Although the flushing can be overcome by taking niacin at the end of a meal, or by taking an aspirin 30 minutes prior to taking niacin, it is also self-limited and tolerance to flushing develops with continued use. Nevertheless, pharmaceutical companies

developed timed-release preparations to minimize or eliminate this effect. Unfortunately, timedrelease niacin is less effective (and more toxic) than immediate release, cheap, over-the-counter niacin (Fig. 2).

Percent Mortality

The study involved 25,637 high-risk patients from 245 test sites in the UK, Scandinavia, and China.

The “placebo” group received Simvastatin 40 mg or Simvastatin 40 mg plus Ezetimibe 10 mg, plus a 50 mg low-dose niacin-containing “placebo.” The “niacin” group received 2,000 mg of extended-release niacin and 40 mg of Laropiprant, in addition to the Simvastatin or Simvastatin plus Ezetimibe, as was given to the placebo group. The participants in the study were followed for a median of nearly four years. The study was stopped prematurely after three years because of an apparent lack of benefit with extended-release niacin (plus laropiprant).

Figure 2: Low doses of plain (immediate-release) nicotinic acid have more favorable effects than timed-release forms on serum triglyceride and high-density (HDL) cholesterol concentrations, although they are both equally effective on LDL. The majority of the effects on triglycerides and HDL occur with lower doses (less than 2,000 mg).

Now back to the New England Journal study.

The “serious adverse harm” included “diabetesrelated, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and skin-related disorders,” which the authors stated were previously known to be caused by niacin.

Additionally, the authors stated that most of the serious musculoskeletal adverse events with niacinlaropiprant were due to myopathy, (muscle weakness, pain and atrophy); and there was an unexpected finding of excess serious infection and serious bleeding events. The authors further claimed that “niacin alone” was also associated with a significant increase in the risk of serious infection in a previous study as well (AIM-HIGH10). (1) The AIM-HIGH study, 10 however, was not a study of “niacin alone”—it was a study that also combined extended-release niacin with intensive statin therapy.

With regard to the excess bleeding, the authors conceded that it may not have been due to niacin— but may have been due to laropiprant – as several potential mechanisms for bleeding have been previously proposed for laropiprant, (11,12) and niacin has not previously been reported to cause bleeding problems.

The authors of the New England Journal study curiously overlooked the fact that the FDA in 2012 required that labels on statin drugs be changed to include information concerning statininduced glycemic effects, diabetes and increases in

Although immediate-release niacin may cause reductions in glucose tolerance when treatment is initially begun, studies show that glucose generally returns to pre-treatment levels with continued use (17, 18)- (Fig. 3). On the other hand, the package insert for extended-release niacin, (as used in the New England Journal study) cautions that “NIASPAN can cause an increase in blood sugar levels.” It is thus likely that the combination of simvastatin and extended-release niacin in the New England Journal study caused the increased incidence of diabetic changes.

Timed-release niacin also tends to be more hepatotoxic than immediate-release niacin, causing significant increases in liver enzymes and multiple reports of hepatic failure. (19,20) One report, which illustrated the comparative safety of immediaterelease niacin involved three patients who incurred hepatitis from timed-release niacin, who were later re-challenged with immediate-release niacin with no evidence of hepato-cellular injury due to the immediate release niacin. (21)

“Statins are known to cause myalgias, fatigue and rhabdomyolysis. These effects may be worsened by combining statins with niacin.”

Statins are known to cause myalgias, fatigue and rhabdomyolysis. These effects may be worsened by combining statins with niacin. Most of the excess musculoskeletal adverse events in the New England 20

Journal report were due to myopathy and the absolute excess of myopathy associated with adding niacin-laropiprant to the statin-ezetimibe therapy was more than 10 times as great among participants in China as those in Europe. (1) This should not have been surprising. The Zocor/Simvastatin package insert warns: “Cases of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis have been observed with simvastatin coadministered with lipid-modifying doses (more than 1 g/day) of niacin-containing products. In particular, caution should be used when treating Chinese patients with simvastatin doses exceeding 20 mg/ day co-administered with lipid-modifying doses of niacin-containing products.”

One meta-analysis examined the effect of statins on the risk of diabetes in 91, 140 patients from 13 trials, which showed that statins were associated with a 9% increased risk of diabetes.

(14) Another meta-analysis of 32,752 patients, in five trials, found that higher potency statins were associated with a 12% increased risk of diabetes, compared to low potency statins. (15) Simvastatin, at a dose of 40 mg (as used in the New England Journal study), was considered to be a high potency statin.

Figure 3: Effect of immediate-release niacin on fasting glucose in participants with and without diabetes. Niacin was associated with a transient increase in glucose, which largely returned to baseline with continued use.

The New England Journal study concluded that “treatment with extended-release niacin-laropiprant did not significantly reduce the risk of major vascular events but did significantly increase the risk of serious adverse events.” (1) The highly-publicized New England Journal article was thus not a true study of the clinical efficacy of over-the-counter immediate-release niacin. It was, instead, a testament that it’s probably not a good idea to combine extended-release niacin with a pharmaceutical hodge-podge of a high potency statins, ezetimibe and latanoprost.

I’d like to see a head-to-head 3-arm study comparing the efficacy and side-effects of (1) immediate release niacin, (2) a statin and (3) a statin plus niacin. Until such a study is conducted, I will continue to use (and recommend to my patients) immediate-release niacin—which I believe to be the safest, cheapest, most effective lipid-lowering substance available.

Esnatri cream is the world’s only bioidentical estrogen cream to replicate the work of Dr. Jonathan Wright. Dr. Wright has highlighted that the ‘average’ woman produces estrogens in the ratios of estriol

absorption to create instant bioavailability.

these are the exact same ratios found inside Esnatri. Each 1ml of Esnatri cream provides 2mg in total of the triple estrogens and it enables a precise, natural and indeed bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women concerned about the menopause. IAS provides dose and timing advice from Dr. Wright for both estrogens and progesterone with every purchase. The additional use of bioidentical progesterone should be used along with an estrogen replacement program.

For further information on estrogens we recommend one of Dr. Thierry Hertoghe’s Hormone handbooks.

GABOB (Gamibetal®) Technically it is the closest legal molecule to GHB. Its approved use in Europe is to help with epilepsy, but like GHB, GABOB has been shown to improve growth hormone release GABOB does not have the ‘sleep inducing’ effects of GHB, but it can cause some sedation if taken in high doses.

Hair-Pro™ Hair-Pro is the very latest development to help induce hair growth. It contains the absolute latest cutting-edge growth factor technologies.

Hair Pro is a unique proprietary topical (the DHT blocking drug used orally for years as a hair loss treatment).

It also contains a plethora of amino acids that act as hair growth factors including bFGF, TRX, VEGF and IGF-1. In addition there is aminosyn to promote protein synthesis (hair strength), hyaluronic acid to aid hair hydration (thickness) and dexpanthenol to cleanse the pores of the blocking fat- sebum which can block nutrition from the hair root. It’s a unique and potent formula to battle alopecia.

UPDATE: Use it in combination with the Scalproller to improve uptake into the scalp.

Hydergine (ergoloid mesylate)

GHRP2

Hydergine is an extract of a fungus that grows on rye called ergoloid mesylate. Its approved uses have been to aid persons

GHRP2 is growth hormone releasing peptide number 2. It is a potent releaser of HGH for fat loss and is particularly synergistic with sermorelin. It is best taken in the morning, by swallowing 4ml of the liquid. Up to 10ml may be used for shorter periods of time.

UPDATE: The work of Dr Richard synergistic when combined with sermorelin.

disease and even for persons who have suffered from electric shock, drowning or suffocation. This is because hydergine stabilises the levels of oxygen in the brain. It has been shown to improve oxygen levels when they are too low and decreases levels when they are too high. The result of this optimised oxygen availability in the brain is an ability to do more mental work without becoming tired. Accordingly, hydergine can be a good tool to battle

A fascinating animal experiment showed a special ability for hydergine to improve mitochondrial condition. The mitochondria are vital organelles found in every cell of our body responsible for the generation of ATP, the universal declines as we age. However, an Italian study highlighted that old animal mitochondria can be improved with hydergine supplementation.

The Bertonin-Freddari et al, 1994 study highlights that hydergine volume and number of mitochondria in old animals- towards the youthful example; as is shown here the difference between young, old (without hydergine) and

These connective strands are known to decline in aging. This is another antiaging feature of hydergine. Some have even linked In summary, hydergine helps to protect against conditions of hypoxia and peroxidation, important factors to guard against a stroke and generalised brain injuries. Hydergine can extend boredom and may even provide some groundwork for raising the levels of intelligence.

Melatonin (MZS™) Melatonin is one of nature’s remarkable substances. It is made in response to darkness by the pineal work have become quite well known and indeed it is useful for this purpose since adequate melatonin availability enables our bodies to be correctly in tune with our circadian rhythms.

These circadian rhythms dictate our hormonal cyclicity and this cyclicity ultimately determines our aging and our level of immunity. Unfortunately melatonin secretions decline with aging. Professor Pierpaoli has published widely on melatonin, principally through the New York Academy of Science and at the meetings of the Stromboli conferences on aging and cancer- which IAS is delighted to support. What is important to know about melatonin is that Professor Pierpaoli advocates a it is also vital to use a melatonin that produces a night peak of melatonin that is the same as the peak produced by the pineal own formula ‘MZS™’ (which also contains the additional

28

This graph highlights that Professor Pierpaoli’s Melatonin Zn Se formula mimics the night peak of melatonin. Note that sublingual melatonin tested peaks too soon and that time released formulas peak too late.

Here are some before and after Fundus photos showing the Zn Se. They highlight dramatic improvements to both wet and dry forms of macular degeneration. In a trial published in the New York Academy of Science, 110 eyes, (100 patients) with both wet and dry forms of ARMD were treated only with 1 tablet of Melatonin Zn Se nightly. After improvements to their condition. This is simply remarkable compared to the current approved therapy for ARMD which involves injecting the eye quarterly, (costs $1000+) with 50% improvement at 24-months!

For further detailed information about melatonin and Professor Pierpaoli’s work we recommend his book ‘the key of life,’ it is now available as a FREE e-book from the IAS website.

Minsaw™ MinSaw has been updated numerous times, but now it’s in its best formula ever. MinSaw provides all of these proven hair growth and protectors in its latest formula: • Minoxidil: Perhaps the best known agent to help stimulate hair growth, which it does by increasing nitric oxide promotion in the root of the hair. In doing so it delivers more nutrition for the hair to grow faster. MinSaw has the most potent amount of minoxidil at 8%.

• Vitamin C: Helps stimulate hair growth and ‘clean’ the root bulb. MinSaw contains the active form of L-ascorbic acid.

• Saw Palmetto: This herb helps to block the damaging effects of DHT, a known hair growth restrictor.

• Resveratrol: The remarkable protective agent found in red grape skins has recently been noted to help induce hair thickness.

• Melatonin: This has been documented and patented to help prevent hair loss.

• Retinolic acid (also known as tretinoin). This super high strength vitamin A improves skin condition by enhancing

bonding between partners that is likely to attract most attention. Oxytocin increases ejaculate in the male and has inducement of multiple orgasms. We have worked alongside trouche (a gel like tablet). Typical doses are 5 to 20 IU. (The square troches can be cut in half from corner to corner easily).

MSH2-Pro™ MSH2 is the abbreviation for melanocyte stimulating hormone (type II). This hormone has a direct effect on tanning the skin and if used regularly will darken skin- even without exposure to the sun. In addition, MSH has been noted to enhance libido and suppress the desire to eat.

NOTE: MSH use should not exceed 2-sprays per day and must not be used by persons with hypertension, (high blood pressure).

Naltrexone

UPDATE: Oxy-Pro™ is a new nasal spray version of oxytocin (delivering 10 IU per spray) in addition to our 20 IU sublingual trouches (Oxy-Sub™).

Peptide Bioregulators Danish bovine sources.

These peptides have been shown to be a short-cut to protein synthesis by activating directly with their receptive genes.

Therefore their action is to ‘reinvigorate’ their biological reserve and essentially rejuvenate their processes.

Because that has a great safety record, with very few side effects. Plus, it is cost effective. Piracetam has been shown to be safer than salt. This may be because it has a very small impact upon brain chemical levels and helps to improve electrical communication across the brain’s corpus callosum.

The corpus callosum is the bundle of nerves that separates the two hemispheres of the brain.

In medical terms piracetam is used to improve short term memory and to treat a wide variety of senile dementias as well as autism and Down’s syndrome and can also assist with travel and altitude sickness.

PQQ (pyroloquinoline quinone) PQQ is the most newly discovered vitamin. In more than 200 studies it has been shown to improve overall energy levels, cognitive function and memory, reduce mitochondrial degradation and increase skin elasticity. Furthermore, it acts as a neuro and cardio protectant and helps to enhance nerve growth.

Progesterone Progesterone is often the ‘missing’ hormone in the treatment of female menopause. What we mean by this is that whilst estrogen treatments, (see Esnatri™ for details) are often considered as a primary replacement hormone for women, progesterone is often forgotten about.

The best known action of progesterone is its ability to help build bone mass. Progesterone levels fall rapidly in menopause and contribute to osteoporosis. Progesterone is strongly advocated to be taken in combination with any estrogen replacement program.

UPDATE: Our progesterone strength is Pharma grade. At 5% it is twice the dose that is found in US health food stores.

Progesterone levels decline in women with age; in some cases progesterone levels are undetectable!

We recommend one of Dr. Hertoghe’s hormone handbooks for further information about progesterone.

Sermorelin is a breakthrough development replacement. Sermorelin is the bioidentical molecule used by the pituitary gland to stimulate the production and release of GH into the bloodstream. Sermorelin is not GH; GH is a complicated molecule consisting of 191 amino acids. Sermorelin is a chain of 29 amino acids. Importantly activation. This is what makes sermorelin stand head and shoulders over all previous agonists of GH. Sermorelin is sermorelin has a negative feedback loop (unlike GH itself), so the issues of overdosing and safety associated with injections These are additional factors that favor sermorelin as the next generation of GH activators.

TA65 production is carefully controlled by TA Sciences, who purchased the technology from the Geron Corporation. Whilst other substances have claimed to delay the shortening of telomeres, only TA65 has been clinically proven (and published) to actually lengthen short telomeres in humans. If you want the cutting-edge of antiaging supplementation and the best possible chances for longer telomeres, then TA65 is currently your best (and indeed only) clinically proven choice.

Thyroid (Armour®; Synthroid®) A decline in the secretion of hormones from the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) can result in poor concentration, confusion, memory problems, cold hands and feet, weight gain, menstrual problems, sleep disorders, dry skin, thinning hair and low energy levels.
