PURE VITALITY SO-AMINO CREAM

Pure Vitality SO-Amino Cream is a natural source of proteins, botanical extracts and amino acids that support pituitary function. Optimizing pituitary function can support the production of somatotropin, which can support improved energy, increased exercise capacity, decreased body fat and improved muscle mass.*

What is Somatotropin? ● Somatotropin is a is a peptide hormone that is synthesized and secreted by the somatotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland ● It is also known as Growth Hormone (GH) ● The main action of GH is to stimulate linear growth in children

The Pituitary Gland ● GH is secreted from the pituitary in a pulsatile manner, with the majority being released at night. ● The greatest predictor of GH secretion is age; GH secretion is highest during adolescence and decreases with aging. ● GH levels are also influenced by many other external factors: ○ Exercise ○ Stress ○ Hypoglycemia

Why are we interested in Growth Hormone?  fosters a healthy body composition by: ○ Increasing muscle ○ Reducing fat mass ○ Maintaining normal blood glucose levels ○ Promoting a favorable lipid profile. ● GH enhances the utilization of fat by stimulating triglyceride breakdown and oxidation in adipocytes. ● It also helps to maintain blood glucose in normal range through its effect on carbohydrate metabolism. ● GH works in tandem with IGF-1, a hormone that manages the effects of GH in your body. ○ Together, IGF-1 and GH promote normal growth of bones and tissues.

How does it work? ● GH helps to maintain, build, and repair healthy tissue in the brain and other organs. ○ This hormone can help to speed up healing after an injury and repair muscle tissue after exercise. This helps to build muscle mass, boost metabolism, and burn fat. ● GH is also said to benefit the quality and appearance of the skin. It’s said to slow down the aging process and treat age-related diseases. ○ Research supporting these claims is limited. ● GH works by stimulating metabolic processes in cells to activate metabolism. It stimulates the liver to make an insulin-like protein that produces cartilage cells. This plays a part in bone and organ growth, as well as muscle protein synthesis.

Contraindications Who is a good candidate for dietary supplements? ● Adults with healthy liver + kidney function will generally be good candidates for supplements ● Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should not be recommended any supplements or creams ● Patients on Levothyroxine (Synthroid), a thyroid hormone medication that is taken upon arising, must wait 30 minutes minimum before taking oral supplements and food
