Can there be an Anti-Aging Pill?

The Academy of Women’s Health will open the doors to its 21st Annual Congress starting Friday in Washington, D.C. While it will play host to renowned women’s health researchers in the world, one of the most buzzed about exhibitors is SanMedica International LLC, distributor of SeroVital-hgh, a new oral human growth hormone (hGH) booster or anti-aging pill.

So why all the hGH anticipation at a women’s conference? The company says because growth hormone isn’t just for men anymore. In fact, everyone from soccer moms to Hollywood A-Listers have been visiting expensive clinics for controversial hGH injections due to growth hormone’s touted ability to reduce wrinkles, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost energy, rev up sex drive, and make you look and feel decades — not years, but DECADES — younger.

“Human growth hormone is no longer solely the province of male athletes,” says Gina Daines, spokesperson for SanMedica. “Research is revealing that growth hormone is a vital aspect of women’s health that could affect everything from obesity to skin and aging to sex drive.”

The company reveals that SeroVital began making headlines when the research behind it was first presented at The Obesity Society’s recent Annual Scientific Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, where a group of scientists revealed that this tiny little pill was capable of increasing mean, serum (blood) growth hormone levels… by an astounding 682%.

Despite the double-blind, placebo-controlled research behind SeroVital-hgh, some skeptics are saying it sounds too good to be true. So is there a catch? Well, there are three. First, as with hGH injections, SeroVital-hgh is not a “magic bullet” but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice including a sensible diet and exercise regimen. And, just like hGH injections, you have to remember to renew your monthly supply.

Second, you have to take SeroVital-hgh on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it first thing in the morning and then not eat anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal… before you go to bed.

And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive than prescription hGH injections, it’s still not cheap… SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month. The claims about SeroVital-hgh have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The conference will be held March 22-24 in Washington, D.C.
