What is Relaxin?
The key ingredient in Vitalaxin is a naturally recurring porcine-derived hormone called relaxin, a polypeptide in the insulin family. Healthy animal-derived hormone is many times more effective than that of human relaxin, and yet it has a similar molecular structure. Relaxin hormone was used quite extensively in the 50's and 60's as an agent for shortening labor during the birthing process. Since then, relaxin hormone has been used to comfort muscle aches, digestive difficulties, and promote emotional well being.

Relaxin Hormone: What Doctors are Finding
Dr. Samuel Yue, Clinical Medical Director of the HealthEast Pain Clinic in Minnesota, discovered relaxin levels surged during pregnancy. When secreted, relaxin enables women to give birth by helping to dilate the cervix, expand and make flexible the pelvis, and stretch the skin.

Relaxin exerts its effects on many of the body's systemic structures. The hormone is necessary to maintain the integrity of collagen and connective tissue through its direct effect on many of the documented receptor sites and its indirect effect on collagen.

Dr. Yue believes that systemic deficit of relaxin hormone - and poor ability to utilize the relaxin that is produced by the body - contributes to muscle discomfort, occasional bowel and bladder upset, digestive difficulties, dizziness, shortness of breath, aching joints, fatigue, headaches and emotional distress in some women.

Doctor Reports Relaxin Promotes Healthy Skin & Defends Against Ageing
Dr. Yue reports that “Relaxin is an essential hormone that is necessary to [support] a person from aging prematurely.” Relaxin hormone causes thickening of the epidermis by promoting skin cell renewal, so that cells divide at a rate typical of younger skin.

Other Ingredients
The two other essential components of Vitalaxin, Trypsin Inhibitor and Bovine Colostrum, work synergistically with one another to provide support and maintenance for all your body’s mechanisms. Relaxin hormone, the active ingredient in Vitalaxin, can normally be destroyed in the stomach by trypsin, an amino acid. The addition of a Trypsin Inhibitor to Vitalaxin, preserves the integrity and potency of relaxin. Bovine colostrum is known for its strengthening and rebuilding abilities.

Safety
Some possible short-term changes have been observed in Dr. Yue's patients. Possible known side effects of Vitalaxin are: Breast tenderness (for first month), nausea (for first month), and occasional increase of menstrual flow. These effects indicate that the hormone has been absorbed and is exerting effects on the body. As with all new treatment protocols, we encourage you to confirm your decision with your health care professional.
