Aging
• Many theories• Endocrine (glandular depletion)• Free radical (oxidation/inflammation)• Chronic Stress• pH (acid –base)• Excessive sugar (worse than you think!)• Membrane function• Mitochondrial function (energy)• Genetics (choose your parents carefully)
Aging
• Diminished functional capacity that can manifest in a variety of ways• Energy• Strength• Endurance• More…
Anti-Aging
• Animal studies do indicate that certain nutrients may promote a long life span
• Definitive clinical studies on humans are lacking
• HOWEVER THERE IS HOPE…
Anti-Aging – Health Span
• Stanford & U Penn studies (Dr. James Freis) have shown that you can add life to your years!• Good nutrition• Daily exercise• Stress reduction• Not smoking
• They call it increasing Health Span i.e.
adding life to your years!
Health Span
• Freis’ 20 year study of U Penn graduates showed that those who lead a healthier lifestyle postponed signs of aging by at least a decade over those who smoked, were obese or did not exercise.
• Health Span is the new model of aging.

PRIME™ Secretagogue
• May raise HGH levels that normally diminish with aging in a physiological manner to more youthful levels.
• Functions as a secretagogue to naturally increase the production and secretion of HGH by the pituitary gland
• Recreates a more youthful, natural pattern of HGH production and release into the body.
• Safe and natural
PRIME™ Secretagogue
• Powerful combination of amino acids (the natural building blocks of proteins) that that have been scientifically show to effectively raise HGH levels.
• Taken with proper timing, exercise and a healthy diet you can turn back the clock!
Common Growth Hormone Inhibitors
• Stress hormones• Relax
• Insulin• Don’t eat for 2 or more hours prior to
bedtime
• Time of day• Sleep well (HGH levels rise during
sleep)
Low GH may cause:
• Sadness• Increased stress• Lack of energy levels • Social isolation • Lack of positive well being • Increased body fat, particularly central adiposity • Decreased muscle mass • Decreased total and extracellular fluid volume
Prime™ Key Ingredients
• All of the major ingredients in the Prime secretagogues have published literature supporting their potential as nutritional HGH secretagogues.
• BONUS!!! • In addition, all of the major ingredients
in these formulations have numerous other anti-aging related health benefits.

• Semi-essential amino acid • Supports GHRH so HGH levels go up• Can increase GH release• Enhances immunity• Enhances exercise tolerance• Promotes normal biosynthesis of creatine
molecule

the Heme part of hemoglobin.• Critical molecule in energy metabolism

Prime – Usage
• Use for HGH potentiation requires taking prior to bedtime on an empty stomach
• Post of a strenuous workout to support recovery
• Other benefits can be realized taking it after or between meals
Other dietary HGH Products
• Sublingual sprays• HGH is only an injectable drug!
• HGH is too big of a molecule to be absorbed sublingually (191 Amino Acid Chain))
• HGH gets destroyed (hydrolyzed) by stomach acid and digestive enzymes
• Other secretagogues• Too little of too much or too much of too
little actives

Sleep
• Sleep is an active process. It is necessary for cells and organs to restore and repair
• 71% of Americans sleep < 8 hours
• Incidence of insufficient sleep disorders is increasing
Common causes of a poor nights sleep
• Stress• Poor diet (too many stimulants, poor
nutrient content)• Shift work• Jet lag• Poor exercise habits (too little or too
much)• Pain
Sleep & Age
• Newborns: sleep 2/3 of the time; up to ½ of that is REM so may take up to 2 years to sleep through the night (YIKES!!!)
• Middle Age: men & women have decreased amounts of slow wave sleep; men worse than women – by age 45, men get almost no deep sleep
• Seniors: almost no deep sleep, less than 1 hour REM per night
Melatonin
• Hormone produced from serotonin and secreted from the pineal gland
• Promotes normal synchronization of other hormone secretion; circadian rhythms
• Production dependent on the light sensitive suprachiasmatic nucleus
• Seasonal production: amount produced dependent on length of day
• Production peaks @ age 10-20 • Antioxidant properties – intercepts free
radicals; supports healthy immune & responses
Melatonin
Melatonin
• Supports normal IGF-1 production – anabolic growth factor and primary end product of HGH pathway; produced in liver due to stimulation from HGH
• Promotes normal DHEA-S production – manufacture of all key hormone in supporting immune defenses & maintaining blood sugar levels
Melatonin
• Two Major Uses: • (1) Sleep Aid : take 1 hour prior to
bedtime to improve sleep quality• (2) Jet Lag: helps improve quality of
sleep – take at appropriate new bedtime on day of flight and for three days afterward
