Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to confirm the results of a prior study that demonstrated pills containing two amino acids which are in foods increased growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Oral supplementation with a key combination of derivatives that has been shown to increase human growth hormone in healthy volunteers peaking at 90 minutes and IGF-1 at 8 hours post-administration.
