This supplement consists of an extract prepared from fertilized chicken eggs containing short amino acid chains ("oligopeptides") plus additional essential amino acids, trace elements (iron, copper, cobalt, selenium and zinc), and growth factors. Natural Growth Factors were isolated and studied by researchers from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Romania, where it was register
ed first in 1993 as a food additive and two years later as a dietary supplement. The human studies mostly utilized individuals older than 35. According to the authors who reported the results, the fertilized chicken egg extract works as a general tonic and stimulates the adrenal gland, normalizing its function. Other than the brain, the most important target organs for adaptogens are the adrenal glands because of all the hormones they produce.
