A NEW MIRACLE MOLECULE OF THE 21ST CENTURY

The human body is an amazing machine of electrochemical reactions that takes what we eat and drink and converts it into usable energy. Insulin is a key chemical component of this process in intermediary metabolism. In other words, we need insulin to change food and drink into being able to walk, run, think and continue to live.

Insulin also has profound effects on both carbohydrate and lipid (fats) metabolism and major influences on protein and mineral metabolism. As a consequence, if insulin is not balanced the body will feel devastating effects on many organs and even tissues.

As we age, the process of food to energy conversion changes over time and our bodies lose efficiency. Just like a car that doesn't convert gas into combustion and it gets less miles per gallon until the engine is fixed or rebuilt. That is where Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) comes in.

Culminating over 20 years of development, research, and recent clinical testing, MaxLife's Antler Velvet is derived from cold processed, concentrated Conu parvum velvet antler grown in New Zealand. When combined with a liposome-based (under the tongue) spray, it has a greater potential to permeate all tissues, even the blood brain barrier, as well as becoming a factor in the anti-aging movement. Where anti-aging is concerned, IGF-1 may be considered as a new miracle molecule of the 21st century.

IGF-1 MUSCLE & OVERALL BODY ANTI-AGING EFFECT

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is the ultimate health, muscle and anti-aging factor. IGF-1 is made primarily in the liver in response to Human Growth Hormone (HGH) release.Unfortunately as we age we experience a relative HGH deficiency due to a lowered release from the pituitary resulting in a concomitant loss of IGF-1. The vast number of benefits of IGF-1 centers around muscle development and performance.

IGF-1 transports glucose and amino acids into muscle while stimulating muscle DNA. This results in a muscular development in youth and muscle preservation in old age. For the athlete it means peak performance and quick recovery from intense training or injury. Other tissues of the body benefit from IGF-1 because of the affect on DNA and RNA (Ribonucleic Acid and Deoxyribonucleic Acid - are nucleic acids that are an essential part of every living cell). This tends to stimulate a faster production of proteins such as enzymes that help conduct normal metabolism.

IGF-1 IS ITS ABILITY TO STIMULATE REPAIR OF DAMAGED NERVES

One of the most important functions of IGF-1 is the improvement in blood sugar utilization. IGF-1 improves insulin receptor sensitivity. This means insulin has an easier time getting blood sugar into the cells where it can be utilized for energy production. This may improve blood sugar levels in people with abnormally elevated blood sugar. This also has been shown to help preserve muscle tissue in animals that were given Prednisone. Prednisone desensitizes insulin receptor sites, which are overcome by IGF-1.

IGF-1 also has shown the ability to stimulate repair of damaged nerves. In culture tubes containing spinal cord motor neurons, IGF-1 stimulated a 150% to 270% increase in activity. In animal studies IGF-1 repaired and reconnected nerve endings up to a distance of six millimeters. This is astounding when one realizes that severe nerve damage of more than one inch may result in permanent damage. In other animal studies IGF-1 increased intramuscular nerve sprouting tenfold.

BURN MORE FAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT KIND OF PROGRAM YOU ARE ON

IGF-1 also has a profound effect on the heart muscle. In a randomized, double blind human study IGF-1 stimulated a significant increase in strength and efficiency of heart function. These people had severely damaged hearts but still realized an increase in blood volume pumped through the heart. IGF-1 also helps preserve cardiac function in normal, healthy people as well.

For those interested in achieving lean body mass, IGF-1 is the supplement of choice. IGF-1 shifts fuel utilization from carbohydrates (sugar and starch) to fat-stores in the body. Thus, your body will burn more fat regardless of what kind of weight-loss or exercise program you are on. When people try to loose weight they loose muscle as well as fat but with IGF-1 muscle tissue is preserved while fat is preferentially lost.

ADVANCED DELIVERY SYSTEM PROVIDES SUPERIOR ABSORPTION

The MaxLife Antler Velvet Max product uses a patented Lipo Gastric Delivery System™ (LGDS) which allows faster delivery and greater bioavailability and longer duration of nutrient action. This has a distinct advantage over tablets, capsules and powder products. The Lipo Gastric Delivery System uses nano-particles that are delivered into the blood stream more rapidly, where they can be better absorbed and utilized without degradation in the liver as is experienced with other products.
