IGF-1 [Structural] (insulin-like growth factor 1) is a metabolite of human growth hormone. Scientists have discovered that an extract of the velvet on the antlers of a particular species of deer (Cervi parvum cornu) provides IGF-1 and all of its benefits.
Researchers have found that deer antler velvet contains eight known growth factors, prostaglandins, nerve-protective fatty acids, prohormones, amino acids and components of cartilage (including glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, collagen type I, collagen type II and minerals).
NSP IGF-1 is concentrated and cold-processed to assure optimum bioactivity. Its liposome delivery system ensures optimum absorption. NSP takes great care to harvest the deer antler velvet in the most humane and careful ways.
Each bottle contains at least 2,500 nanograms of IGF-1 and other insulin-like growth factors.
Adults: Spray twice under your tongue three times daily. Hold for 20 seconds before swallowing.
Benefits: • Supplies highly bioavailable ionic minerals to support mineral-powered reactions throughout the body. • Helps regulate pH balance in the body. • Provides a full spectrum of 70 ionic trace minerals. • Supports the circulatory system with the antioxidant benefits of açai berry.
Ionic Minerals [Vital Nutrition, Immune, Circulatory]contains 70 charged (ionic) trace minerals. Charged minerals do not need to be broken down further for absorption. They are quickly taken up by the cells that line the intestinal tract and readily employed in the body. Ionic minerals also play an important role in supporting a healthy pH balance.
Fulvic acid and açai berry extract complement this formula. Fulvic acid scavenges free radicals, supplies electrolytes, enhances nutrient transport, catalyzes enzyme reactions, increases assimilation and helps rebuild the immune system. Açai berry extract provides valuable antioxidants, amino acids, anthocyanins and essential fatty acids, plus a phenomenal flavor.
Take 1 tablespoon twice daily with a meal. Keep out of the reach of children.
Keep lid tightly closed and refrigerate after opening.

MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms. This natural compound, researched since 1979, provides the chemical links needed to form and maintain numerous different types of tissues found in the human body, including connective tissue such as articular cartilage. While MSM is a natural component of almost all fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat, food -processing methods reduce sulfur levels, making supplementation more important than ever. NOW® MSM is tested to meet a minimum 99.7% purity level.
