How Low Dosage Natural Hormones are Powerful

     Low- dosages of hormones are effective because it takes such small amounts to work in the body.  For example, our bodies only manufacture up to 100 millionths of a gram of thyroid per day to regulate the entire body of a 200 lb. person! That is just 1 part free thyroid per 10,000 million parts of blood plasma.  Hormones are powerful and effective and should be used judiciously and according to the labeled use.  Micro-dilutions of various hormones such as GH are effective in parts per billion or nanograms with an advanced delivery polymer matrix.

Oral Growth Hormone Proven To Absorb

A team of researchers are using polymers in micro-dilution of insulin or growth hormone complex at the University of Illinois.  Tracing of insulin injected into rabbits is proving over 55% absorption into the tissues compared to a 63% by injection.  Growth hormone has been measured to absorb with oral polymers at nearly 100%.  This gives further proof oral sprays of large molecules is effective as a delivery system.   

Researchers at UIC's College of Pharmacy then set out to definitively show absorption of hGH using the MMC.  Instead of measuring blood glucose responses, they measured the presence of hGH in rabbits given the hGH/MMC complex.   The hGh levels in the blood were measured over a four-hour period.  This protocol is more conclusive than an absorption study done on humans for one clear reason:  Humans already have circulating hGH, making it difficult to determine if the blood levels measured resulted from supplemental exogenous hGH or if the hGH simply came from test subjects naturally circulating hGH.  Rabbits do not produce human growth hormone (hGH), therefore, its presence would be impossible unless it was supplied through some external, exogenous route. 

When rabbits were administered hGH through the transmucosal membranes, their blood levels responded with a measurable increase if hGH.   This experiment provides an absolutely clear demonstration of hGH absorption via the MMC delivery system.
