Supposedly its suppose to aid bone development, especially with people who suffer from osteoporosis. It contains IGF-1. Now I am not sure if there are two types of DVE sold one with hgh and one without. i found one w/o. Also some people claim that it aids sex drive but it doesn't SpringerLink - Journal Article. I am wondering if there is any risks in trying it. IGF-1 grows the organs in the body but I believe that is the isolated form that bodybuilders inject, whereas this is a more natural approach with all of the additional growth factors. Its taken sublingually. Also wondering if it will help natural growth hormone production, some dudes said it helps them build muscle and lean out. Yes it sounds far fetched but something that caught my attention. I am considering giving it a go. Just wanted to know that this is totally natural?
