GH3® Original Formula as specified by the Romanian Ministry of Health The composition of the tablets in question was confirmed in person with Prof. Ana Aslan, at the Otopeni Clinic, in Bucharest, in 1986. Each tablet contains: * Procaine Hydrochloride 100 mg. * Benzoic Acid 6.0 mg. * Potassium Metabisulphite 5.0 mg * Di-Sodium Phosphate 0.5 mg * Natural Orange Coloring * Cruelty free - never tested on animals Contains 100% highest amount possible of buffered Procaine Hcl complex Romanian formulation PROCAINE HCl : Hydrolyses in the body into its two elements: (1) PABA (Para-aminobenzoic acid) - stimulates "good" intestinal flora to produce vitamins B and K and Folic Acid. (2) DEAE (Diethylaminoethanol) - generates choline and acetylcholine, both of which are essential to the effective functioning of the spleen, liver, brain and nerve impulse relays. It also normalises the level of mono-amine oxidase (MAO) in the brain, thereby functioning as an antidepressant. METABISULPHITE: has blood cleaning and arterial cleaning effect, and works towards reducing hypertension. POTASSIUM: stabilises the Procaine molecule to extend and reinforce its actions on the nervous system. SODIUM: works primarily as a buffering agent to protect the Procaine whilst it works within the body. BENZOIC ACID/POTASSIUM METABISULPHITE: stabilize the pH value of GH3 at between 3.3 and 3.5 (acidulous). Outside this environment the Procaine molecule is destroyed rendering the formula completely useless. Most cheap imitations on the Internet are simply "chemical copies" of GH3 with added vitamins and preservatives. Manufacturing protocols for Genuine GH3 are long and complicated taking up to 3 days to complete. Our GH3 tablets are manufactured in Europe under the most stringent quality and purity control regulations in the world. DIRECTIONS - How to take Gerovital H3 For optimal absorption and maximum effect two GH3 tablets should be taken on an empty stomach with a glassful of water, in this way the digestive enzymes will not break down the active substance in the tablet before it reaches small intestine and enter the bloodstream in the correct way. The body should not have to rely too extensively on a substance such as GH3, so it is advisable to have a rest period of about five days every 25 days, just to allow the body to perform naturally again, and not become dependent on supplemental help and to maintain a healthy functional balance. Take the product on a regular basis; try to establish a routine pattern i.e. taking it when the alarm clock goes off, allowing one hour before having breakfast or any tea or coffee etc. However some people find difficult having to wait one hour in the morning before having coffee or breakfast. GH3 can be taken later in the day as long as it is ingested on an empty stomach - two hours away from the last meal - and one hour is allowed afterwards without taking anything but water.
