George W. Bush’s recent announcement concerning human stem cell research has
brought to the forefront an amazing new technology that everybody is now talking
about. The ability to grow a living organ for transplant, like a heart or
kidney, or cure a disease like Parkinson’s, is pretty incredible stuff. In
fact the potential for this new science is so profound it begs the question; is
there an opportunity for bodybuilders and other athletes to benefit? Can stem
cell technology be used to build bigger, denser, muscle, or accelerate fat loss
way beyond anything you can buy over the counter or even get from a pharmacy?
Thus far the research on human stem cell lines in the U.S.A. has not addressed
this particular issue, as scientists are focused on saving lives, not building
super-humans. However, for the past few years, in another part of the world,
biotechnologists have been conducting a different kind of stem cell research
that does concern growth and performance. The results are nothing short of
stunning.
Using fertilized chicken eggs in place of human embryos, scientists have
developed a highly specialized method of extracting potent embryonic growth
factors called oligopeptides. Within the human body, oligopeptides signal the
adrenal glands to produce natural steroids, including the hormones that drive
muscle growth, fat loss, sexual performance, aging, energy, mood and health.
Oligopeptides are able to cross the digestive barrier fully intact, so no
injection is necessary. The extract has become a much sought after
muscle-building drug in parts of Europe. Recently GEN won the bid to introduce
the substance into the United States, beating out much larger competitors.
As the company that introduced DHEA, Chrysin and Methoxyflavone, we
recognized early on the potential for this product. The European drug, labeled
under our domestic brand name HumanoVar™, is being made available to select
sports nutrition distributors as a dietary supplement, having qualified as such
under the current dietary guidelines. How does HumanoVar compare to prohormones?
According to anabolic expert Brian Bacheldor, it’s infinitely superior. In one
study alone, testosterone levels increased 83% in 10 out of 12 patients. Plus
there are absolutely no negative side effects, such as increased estrogen
production. There is no doubt, the technology behind HumanoVar is supported by
more research and clinical studies then nearly every other nutritional product
now on the market.
