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.
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.

Change From Baseline of Growth Hormone
Measure human growth hormone at times 0-120 minutes on two occasions about one week apart. On one occasion, the proprietary amino acid derivative blend will be given orally at time 0 in capsule form, and on the other occasion the capsules will contain no amino acids.
Time frame: 0-120 minutes, at Baseline and post dose, week 1 and week 3
Area Under the Curve of Growth Hormone Over Baseline
Measure human growth hormone at times 0-120 minutes on two occasions about one week apart. On one occasion, the proprietary amino acid derivative blend will be given orally at time 0 in capsule form, and on the other occasion the capsules will contain no amino acids.
Time frame: 0-120 minutes, at Baseline and post dose, week 1 and week 3
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1
Measure IGF-1 8 hours following the administration of the capsules containing the proprietary amino acid derivative blend or placebo
Time frame: 8 hours following administration
