PhytoZon® – Contains the ONLY Known Compound Proven to Help Cells Naturally Produce IGF-1.
It’s IGF-1 and not HGH like many people think that’s responsible for replacing all of the cells in your body.

The pituitary gland in the brain secretes human growth hormone (HGH) which in turn signals (primarily) the liver to produce and secrete insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).   Both HGH and IGF-1 promote whole body growth and their levels peak during puberty.  IGF-1 increases protein synthesis (muscle growth), bone mineralization, low blood sugar, kidney function, and insulin sensitivity.  It promotes healing and repair of bone, muscle, nervous system, and immune system cells.

Following puberty, when its levels are at their peak, and as we age, IGF-1 levels precipitously decline such that by the time we are 60 years old, the levels have decreased by approximately eighty percent (80%) *as shown in the graph display above.

This natural decline in IGF-1 levels in adulthood, known as somatopause, is responsible for most of the signs we associate with aging.  These include but are not limited to altered musculoskeletal function (e.g. muscle atrophy; associated decrease in strength; bone calcium loss/osteoporosis); altered endocrine function (i.e. a higher incidence of diabetes); altered carbohydrate and lipid metabolism; altered Integumentary function (e.g. skin thinning, wrinkles); and, altered neurological function (e.g. dementia, Alzheimer disease).

RNI 249®, contained in PhytoZon®, is a highly concentrated patented extract from the hypocotyls of the crucifer Lepidium Meyenii (aka “Maca”), a radish-like tuber cultivated only on the inner slopes of the Andean Mountains.  In a study with Case Western Reserve University, it has been shown to increase human cellular production of IGF-1.
