Hematoporphyrin,anybody Know Of Peat Mentioned This?

[Drareg]

Hematoporphyrin Is an interesting substance that is used for many issues,it's mainly used in photodynamic therapy like methylene blue.

It's also used with procaine in another formula called KH3 which is different to the original gerovital (GH3).
Procaine is a demethylating agent Peat mentioned before,he also mentioned he had concerns about the newer formulas so I'm curious if this is one.

There is a study mania going on pubmed for this substance,I'm linking to the search for studies under hematoporphyrin.

The effects of procaine/haematoporphyrin on age-related decline: a double-blind trial. - PubMed - NCBI

"A randomized, double-blind study of procaine/haematoporphyrin (KH3) has been carried out over two years in a selected population of healthy elderly subjects. The period of study exceeds 500 patient years. The trial population was weighted to contain a larger proportion of subjects aged over 75 years than a standard population; those receiving active KH3 had similar characteristics on entry to those receiving placebo. Over the course of two years, KH3 was shown to be an active substance in that: (a) decrement in the consolidation of new learning was prevented in the treatment group (less than 1.0%, as against 38% in the placebo group); (b) the prevalence of incontinence increased significantly in the placebo group, but not in the active group (P less than 0.05); (c) there was a significant increase in grip strength in the active treatment group (+22%, P less than 0.01 v. placebo); (d) more adverse reactions were observed on treatment with KH3 (P less than 0.005)."

Interesting results.

And for balance-

Might not be an ideal substance then.
