The only source for authentic products made in Romania are the Romanian clinics recognized and supervised by the "ANA ASLAN" ROMANIAN NATIONAL INSTITUTE of GERONTOLOGY and GERIATRICS of Bucharest
... the use of the Gerovital products (not the "fake" ones) is intended to be done under strict medical supervision.
...self administration of these products is advaisable upon doctor's recommendation, after taking one of the Ana Aslan cures.
...most efficient results are obtained during the cure in Romanian spas, where natural cure factors and physicians' experience increase the power of the Gerovital genuine products.
Gerovital H3 contains procaine, potassium metabisulphite and disodium phosphate.
Its complex effects are due to its activity at the central and autonomic nervous system level, as well as at the cellular level, by stimulating tissues regeneration and by improving metabolic processes; the product has also been proved to act in oxidation-reduction phenomena in the cell.
Aslavital is another product formulated by Dr. Ana Aslan as a development of Gerovital H3, which contains also vitamins, being effective in the prevention and treatment of aging phenomena.

Gerovital antiaging cures.
Prof. Dr. Ana Aslan was the Director of the National Institute of Gerontology and Geriatrics in Romania.
She was the first to use procaine as an ingredient in anti-ageing products.
The promise of prolonged youth along with the testimonials of thousands of users of a seemingly miraculous treatment has reached far beyond the borders of Romania.
Under Dr. Ana Aslan's supervision, a staff of 1000 doctors, in over 200 Romanian clinics, offer the anti-ageing remedy, called Gerovital H3 (GH3).
Notables such as French President Charles De Gaulle, U.S. President John F. Kennedy, West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Chinese Chairman Mao Tse Tung, and Vietnamese Chairman Ho Chi Minh have traveled to Romania to receive this anti-ageing therapy.
Other well-known people, including actresses Marlene Dietrich, Lillian Gish, the Gabor sisters, actors Charlie Chaplin and Kirk Douglas, and artist Salvador Dali have also followed the same path.
They traveled to the
Otopeni Clinic next to Bucharest, where Dr. Aslan did her research with GH3.
Once discovered by these celebrities, Gerovital itself has become famous and is now used in over twenty countries around the world for its renowned anti-aging properties.
Gerovital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerovital H3 (or procaine hydrochloride and products known as GH 3, Vitacel, and other variants which may or may not be identical to Gerovital H3) is a controversial preparation developed during the 1950s and promoted by its advocates as an effective anti-aging treatment. During Gerovital's "jet-set" heyday, Gerovital treatments were reportedly administered to John F. Kennedy, Marlene Dietrich, Kirk Douglas and Salvador Dalí. Today, the mainstream medical view is that the preparation was seriously investigated in the 1960s and discredited, and that any promotion today is quackery. In the United States, the FDA bans Gerovital H3 from interstate commerce as an unapproved drug and, since 1982, has prohibited its importation.
Development and marketing
It was developed in Romania by Dr. Ana Aslan (January 1, 1897 - May 20, 1988). The main active ingredient is the well-known local anesthetic Procaine hydrochloride, (often referred to by the old brand name, Novocaine). It also contains small amounts of benzoic acid, potassium metabisulfite and disodium phosphate which are said to be important in the formulation, rendering it more effective by "stabilizing" it. Some advocates acknowledge that despite the stabilizers, the procaine in Gerovital H3 breaks down rapidly into DMAE and PABA, but ascribe the beneficial effects to these breakdown products.
From the 1950s until her death in 1988, Dr. Aslan promoted Gerovital H3 with great success. In the 1960s and 1970s her Romanian clinic, the Parhon Institute, became a mecca for celebrities seeking treatment, and an upscale tourist attraction. The New York Times referred to Gerovital's "jet-set aura," noting that Dr. Aslan had been covered in "society columns where such public figures as Nikita S. Khrushchev, Konrad Adenauer, and Ibn Saud have been listed among the multitudes said to have taken the drug." As late as 1988 an advertisement by the Romanian National Tourist Office lauded "the picturesque and exciting cities, scenic delights, famous resorts (including Gerovital H3 treatment centers), cultural and historic treasures that await the traveler to Romania." [1]
In the Beginning
Gerovital H3 (GH3) is based on a substance discovered by an Austrian biochemist named Dr Alfred Einhorn. This substance was "Procaine Hydrochloride". In 1905 Einhorn was successful in synthesising and combining in aqueous solution two products occurring naturally within the human body: Para-aminobenzoic acid - PABA - a member of the B vitamin complex, and Diethylaminoethanol - DEAE. Einhorn named the resultant product "procaine" in order to distinguish it.
Procaine's anaesthetic qualities were evident and proved extremely useful. In the US it became known as "Novocain" and used extensively to reduce discomfort during dental procedures. It proved to be highly effective, basically non-toxic and lacking in addictive qualities.
However, between its 1905 discovery and the late 1940's there was little interest in taking the product beyond its known anaesthetic use. This was until Dr Ana Aslan of the National Geriatric Institute in Bucharest, Romania, began to experiment with it as a means of pain relief in the arthritic joints of elderly patients.
The experiments proved successful, reducing pain and increasing mobility in patients. More interestingly, however, Dr Aslan's patients began exhibiting improved physical and mental well-being far in excess of the arthritic benefits of the product.
Being a formidable medical research scientist, Dr Aslan could not allow this to go unnoticed and immediately set up a highly controlled programme researching these highly beneficial "side-effects" of procaine.
Basically the problem was stabilisation, as procaine hydrolysed quickly in the body and remained active for a relatively short period of time. If it could be absorbed in greater amounts (hopefully) the benefits already noticed could also be increased. Dr Aslan and her colleagues added potassium metabisulphite and disodium phosphate to procaine. This had the desired effect, and it could then be sustained within the human body for up to nine hours. GEROVITAL H3 had arrived!
The "side-effects" of GH3 became quickly established , and the "legend of Bucharest" was born.
GH3 is now available in numerous progressive countries and it is estimated that more than 50 million people, including world leaders, have used this product. The amount of conclusive evidence regarding its efficacy is prodigious and irrefutable - including much based on research carried out by eminent medical bodies in the US. Individuals or organisations (professional or governmental) seeking to challenge or ignore the evidence have done so as a result of other and less worldly motives than a desire to establish the truth. There are of course none so blind as those who do not wish to see!
In 1956 Dr Aslan presented the research findings to the European Congress for Gerontology in Karlsruhe, West Germany. Her conclusions were met with widespread scepticism, and although the fraternity listened politely, she simply was not believed; the reason is not difficult to comprehend. All of us - public and medical professionals alike - have been educated to assume that a single remedy solves a single problem - e.g. an aspirin cures a headache, or another type of powder relieves a stomach ache. Anyone suggesting that a product previously used as a dental anaesthetic held the secret of rejuvenated cell life, regardless of their sincerity of background, was simply unacceptable. Dr Ana Aslan had lost the battle - but she had no intention of losing the war!
Intent on proving the validity of her claims beyond doubt Dr Aslan embarked on one of the greatest research programs ever undertaken, probably the largest and most thorough double-blind study in the history of the world's health industry. For almost two years 15,000 workers aged between 38 and 62 years were observed throughout Romania. Over 400 Doctors staffing a network of 154 clinics participated in the program.
All the patients were healthy but ageing (of course) and a range of astonishing results were manifest. Amongst those using GH3, sickness (measured in lost working days) declined by over 40%. This prompted the Romanian Government to heavily subsidise distribution of GH3 throughout the population as a way of assisting the working economy.
Professor Dr ANA ASLAN
By any standards Dr Aslan is a credit to herself, her profession and her nation. By bringing countless benefits to innumerable people, she has made her mark in a profound and unique way. The Nobel Committee did not honour Professor Aslan, despite the fact that many are those who have been so honoured with far less reason than she. Political corruption does not know national boundaries, and those who choose to deny her recognition proclaim only their inherent dishonesty.
