ST33

Transdermal Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Releaser & Anti-Aging Cream

ST33 is a pharmaceutical grade product utilizing a proprietary transdermal delivery system previously used only with prescription drugs.

Detailed Active Ingredients List:

Glycerol Monosterate: A trihydric sugar alcohol, which is a component of fats. It is an intermediate in the metabolism of fatty acids and serves as a phosphate acceptor. 

L-Arginine Base: An essential amino acid, meaning that the body cannot create amino acid on its own but must get it from the foods we eat.

Arginine causes the secretion of growth hormone. In fact, a 15 to 30 gram intravenous infusion of arginine is used as a standard endocrinological test to provoke the pituitary into releasing growth hormone.

Arginine also helps to improve exercise performance, because it is one of the main ingredients, along with glycine, that the liver uses to make creatine. Supplements of creatine monohydrate are very popular in the bodybuilding community because they raise the level of high-energy creatine phosphates within the muscle and nerve cells needed for high-intensity, short-duration exercises. With arginine you get higher growth hormone levels and the raw material for increasing your energy.

Arginine appears to stimulate HGH by blocking the secretion of the growth-hormone inhibitor somatostatin. It also greatly enhances the effect of growth hormone-releasing hormone when they are given together.

Positive claims for arginine include increasing fat burning and building muscle tissue probably through the stimulation of growth hormone, increasing the weight and activity of the thymus gland, boosting immunity, fighting cancer, promoting healing of bums and other wounds, protecting the liver and detoxifying harmful substances, and enhancing male fertility (almost all of which are enhanced by CH). It also restores sexual function in impotent men. In a 1994 study by Drs. A.W. Zorgniotti and E.E Lizza of the department of urology/surgery at New York University School of Medicine, six of fifteen men who took 2,800 milligrams of arginine a day for two weeks had renewed sexual performance, specifically improved erection, yet none of the men on the placebo did. The researchers believe that arginine worked because it is a precursor of nitric oxide, which plays a key role in initiating and maintaining an erection.

Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C): Ascorbic acid is found in citrus fruit, tomatoes, potatoes, and leafy vegetables. Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin essential to the body's health and is especially important for maintaining healthy skin. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin.

Unlike most other animals, humans cannot make their own vitamin C. With vitamin C being part of more than 300 bodily functions, life itself depends on daily replenishment. Its primary function is to maintain collagen, a protein necessary for the formation of skin, ligaments, bones and teeth, and for the strength of blood vessel walls. In addition, vitamin C plays an important part in the absorption of iron, which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells. It also plays a role in the utilization of folic acid, one of the B-complex vitamins.

It is well noted that vitamin C is destroyed by food preparation more than any other nutrient. It is also well known that the body does not store vitamin C, but tends to excrete excess amounts.

L-Ornithine: This nonessential amino acid (nonessential amino acids are produced by the body from other amino acids) shares many of the benefits provided by L-Arginine, but also has been shown to help regenerate liver tissue.

L-Glutamine: The most abundant amino acid in the body. It is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body may not be able to synthesize all it needs when it is under physical stress.

Glutamine is the latest amino acid to generate excitement as a HGH-releaser thanks to a 1995 study by Thomas C. Welboume of Louisiana State University College of Medicine in Shreveport. Welbourne showed that a surprisingly small oral dose of about 2 grams of glutamine raised growth hormone levels more than four times over that of a placebo. Even more exciting, age did not diminish the response at least in this small study of volunteers, who ranged from thirty-two to sixty-four years.

Glutamine is the amino acid that is most used by the body, particularly during times of stress. The immune system and the gut practically live on glutamine. If the body does not produce enough glutamine, muscle loss and immune dysfunction can occur. The gut atrophies, meaning nutrients all kinds cannot be absorbed as well as before.

A 1993 study by Welbourne in animals showed that glutamine supplementation protects muscle mass and prevents acidosis, which occurs with strenuous exercise and causes muscle breakdown. According to Tudy Shabert, M.D., author of The Ultimate Nutrient Glutamine, supplementation with glutamine, especially in times of stress, would prevent muscle wasting. In a foreword to the book, Douglas Wilmore, M.D., of Harvard Medical School, points out that glutamine is a key to the metabolism and maintenance of muscle, the primary energy source for the immune system, and essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and cell growth, all factors that are enhanced by HGH. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier into the brain, where it increases energy and mental alertness.

High levels of glutamine in the blood translates into greater health as a 1994 study showed. In a survey of thirty-three people over the age of sixty, those at the top of the scale of blood glutamine levels had fewer illnesses, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and were closer to their ideal weights than people at the bottom of the scale in this nutrient. The low-glutamine subjects had higher rates of arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease, while those who were high in glutamine said that they felt great.

Anterior Pituitary Isolate (Peptides): When given as a supplement, raw pituitary extract is recognized by many as an effective means to help trigger increased levels of growth hormone output to the body.

Glucosamine Hydrochloride: Glucosamine has been used for the alleviation of the symptoms of arthritis. It has been reported that glucosamine may be involved in the production of cartilage that is important for healthy joints. 

Zinc Gluconate: Zinc is a naturally occurring mineral. Zinc is an essential part of nearly 300 different biochemical pathways. Claims have been made for zinc's role in a number of processes including digestion, wound healing, energy production, growth, cellular repair, collagen synthesis, bone strength, cognitive function, carbohydrate metabolism (glucose utilization and insulin production), and reproductive function. Zinc deficiency has been associated with depressed immunity, decreased sperm count and impaired memory.

Methyl Paraben (Citrus derived): Added as natural preservatives.

Niacin (Vitamin B-3): Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is vitamin B3. It occurs naturally in plants and animals and is also added to many foods as a vitamin supplement. Niacin blocks the production of cholesterol in the body, releases energy from carbohydrates; decreases blood cholesterol; processes energy from food; maintains skin, digestive and nervous systems. 

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12): Important for growth, cell reproduction, blood formation, and protein and tissue synthesis. Processeses carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; maintains nervous system; makes new cells. 

Vitamin E, Propyl Paraben: A fat-soluble antioxidant that may help minimize the effects of free-radicals. In food, it helps prevent polyunsaturated fatty acids from breaking down and combining with substances that may harm the body. Vitamin E may also help: maintain muscle and nerve function; bring nourishment to cells; strengthen capillary walls; protect red blood cells; promote healthy immune function; and, decrease platelet aggregation (thins blood).

Thiamin Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-1): Thiamine is vitamin B1. Thiamine is important in the breakdown of carbohydrates (sugars) in the foods we eat into products needed by the body. Also aids cellular functions, especially nerves; memory regulation; maintains nervous system functions; processes energy from food. 

Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B-5): A calcium salt of the dextrorotatory isomer of pantothenic acid; used as a growth-promoting vitamin. 

Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6): Helps in the building and breakdown of carbohydrates; improving central nervous system; processing protein and fat from food; making red blood cells; and converting amino acid into niacin.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2): For growth and development; production and regulation of some hormones; generation of new blood cells; and processing energy from food. 

Biotin: Essential in the conversion of carbohydrates to energy & plays a major role in fat & protein metabolism for building healthy tissue. Biotin is involved in multiple biochemical reactions in your body as an enzymatic cofactor & works synergistically with B complex vitamins & zinc. 

Folic Acid: Plays a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, which is associated with elevated homocysteine levels. High blood levels of homocysteine have been associated with damaged blood vessels and increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
