Suggested Usage: As a dietary supplement, take one lozenge 1 to 2 times daily. Chew lozenge or for best absorption, hold in mouth under tongue until dissolved.

This IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor) LipoSpray is carefully derived from a proprietary Cold-Pressed extract of New Zealand Dear Velvet (Cervi Parvum Cornu). This lozenge provides for optimal absorption because stomach and intestinal bile acids inhibit absorption. As a lozenge, this IGF-1 product dissolves in the mouth and is absorbed in those membranes.

IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1) is a polypeptide compound produced primarily in the liver through a conversion of HGH (Human Growth Hormone). HGH is secreted by the pituitary gland and is essential for growth and optimum immune system function.* The vast majority of strength increasing, muscle increasing, and anti-aging effects of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) are directly attributable to it's conversion by the liver and other tissues into Insulin-like Growth Factors (IGF-1). IGF-1 has been shown to increase the transport of amino acids into muscle cells throughout the body, thus regenerating these tissues after exercise.* According to European researchers, IGF-1 initiates the transport of nucleic acids into the nucleus of the cell where DNA resides. It provides the raw material needed to repair damage to the DNA and initiates cell division.

Deer Antler Velvet: In Asia, the notion of promoting wellness, rather than curing illness, has prevailed successfully for thousands of years. One ancient Chinese remedy that is especially used to prevent colds and flu is deer antler velvet. Legend (and my own personal experience) has it that it is also an aphrodisiac. New Zealand has begun human trials, which are necessary to verify effects in people. Specifically, research has examined velvet's ability to boost immunity, prevent anemia, normalize blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, reduce side effects from cancer treatments, assist recovery after surgery, improve memory, serve as an anti-inflammatory agent, and enhance athletic performance and recovery.

In 1998, researchers at New Zealand's AgResearch Invermay (a state-owned agricultural research facility) and the University of Otago completed phase I of a clinical trial on New Zealand deer antler velvet's ability to improve athletic performance. The 10-week double-blind study was conducted under the medical supervision of sports physician Dr. David Gerrard at the university. Although the results of the first test were inconclusive, they were encouraged enough to conduct a phase II of trials. The second studies results which were just released in March of 2001 built on the first trial's scientifically rigorous testing procedure using a larger sample population receiving a daily dosage of velvet from 850-1,200 mg (One IGF-1 Deer Antler Velvet Lozenge = approximately 900 mg Deer Antler Velvet). Researchers examined velvet's effect on building endurance and delaying fatigue, as well as its influence on the repair of damaged muscle tissue. "In this study, athletes who took dietary New Zealand deer antler velvet for two weeks showed significantly reduced elevation of creatine kinase levels in their bloodstream and recovered from muscle soreness 24 hours earlier than subjects on placebo,". Creatine kinase, a substance found in the bloodstream, was used as an indicator of muscle-tissue damage in the study.

Currently, human double-blind, controlled studies are ongoing at AgResearch and the University of Otago, exploring scientific foundations for the possible use of velvet in supporting immunity, joints and tissue, blood pressure and blood health. A study at Eastern Tennessee State University is underway to confirm and expand upon the human clinical trials done in New Zealand.

"Fifteen years of scientific and ethical research stand behind New Zealand deer antler velvet, proving what Oriental medicine has known for 2,000 years - that velvet is good for you," said M.J. Loza, chief executive of NZGIB.
