The Superhormone Promise: Nature's Antidote to Aging

Excellent hormone replacement book for both men and women. Easy to read and relate to. Covers all the hormones in your body...what they are and what they do for you. Offers ways to keep them up through diet and supplements as well as replacement therapy.

The Superhormone Promise certainly is one of the most informative works on the natural hormones DHEA, Pregnenolone, Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone, Thyroid Hormone, Growth Hormone and Melatonin. It clearly explains the power of superhormones to boost the immune system, enhance libido, strengthen bone and muscle, relieve depression & stress, improve memory, reduce body fat, reverse aging, and much more. Pregnenolone is the best safe substance for increasing mind power and improving mood, DHEA excels at increasing libido and providing energy, whilst Melatonin is a wise choice for a good night's sleep and for strengthening immunity. Combining these with the daily use of a multivitamin & mineral supplement plus free-form amino acids may lead to even more impressive results. DHEA & Pregnenolone are discussed in chapters one & 2, followed by testosterone in the next two chapters. Estrogen & Progesterone are dealt with in part three. Chapters 7 & 8 examine Thyroid Hormone & Human Growth Hormone respectively; chapter 9 is devoted to Melatonin and the last deals with dosages and how to take the superhormones. Appendix 1 provides information on resources & diagnostic tests; Appendix 2 is a scientific article by Regelson with Dr Mohammed Y Kalimi titled: "DHEA - A Pleiotropic Steroid. How can one Steroid do so much?" from the journal Advances in Anti-Aging Medicine, vol. 1 of 1996. The extensive bibliography is arranged in sections under the hormones discussed in the book. I strongly recommend this book to all people aged 30 and over. It is easy to understand and written in an engaging style so that every possible question is answered. I also recommend Stopping the Clock by Dr Ronald Klatz, Renewal by Timothy J Smith and Mind Boosters by Dr Ray Sahelian.
