Indium is the 7th rarest element on earth. So far, Indium has not been traced in food and water. It exists in the human body until ones 25th-40th year, indium is present in breast milk. It is still relatively unknown that Indium is an essential trace element, and could have age-related benefits, including improving memory, increasing libido, keeping weight stable and regulating blood sugar levels. Research into indium revealed that the absorption of minerals and trace elements by the organs increased by an average 142% when indium was used. There were also increases of chromium, zinc, copper, and manganese, which are important for the growth and development of tissues. It also appears that indium activates the pituitary, pineal gland, and hypothalamus, causing 31 hormones to be better balanced in the body. HOW IT WORKS: Indium appears to work via the hypothalamus/pituitary/adrenal (HPA) feedback loop complex. Your hypothalamus is the key to homeostasis and parasympathetic functions such as breathing, body temperature, food and water intake, and stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract. Your pituitary controls growth hormone release, sexual glands and the function of your adrenal glands. Your adrenal glands produce sterols such as adrenalin, epinephrine, and cortisol. These hormones down-regulate the effects of inflammation as well as the perception of pain, fatigue, and mental alertness. Balancing the feedback of your HPA complex synchronizes the function and production of at least thirty-one hormones. One of the theories regarding the aging process is that it involves the decreased production of certain hormones as we get older. Indium could counteract this by balancing and synchronizing the HPA complex, the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands. These hormones control sleep, metabolism, body temperature, appetite, blood pressure, sex desire and many other body functions. Indium could stimulate hormonal production back to youthful levels by stimulating the HPA master hormone producers. These hormones then circulate throughout the body and help prevent and fight various aspects of the aging process - for example, supplies of growth hormone are boosted, which controls metabolism and affects bone density. Indium also potentiates your thyroid gland and supports proper thyroid levels, more calories are burned and weight is normalized. FITNESS/TRAINING APPLICATIONS Indium could increase energy and strength, most of the benefits of Indium occur within 5-10 days of supplementation. You could find an extended limit to the activity as it hastens the removal of the lactic acid build-up in muscle mass. This causes the pain of lactic acid build-up to take longer to accumulate. In one very recent study with Indium conducted in Budapest, Hungary, 13 of 15 members of the National Kung Fu Championship Team demonstrated significantly increased their stamina after eight weeks of indium supplementation. Anecdotally, a group of distance runners reported 30% increase in running distance for the same time in just two weeks, and a group of weight lifters recently reported increasing their bench press by 40% in 60 days. It also appears to aid or enhance the master hormone function (the pituitary and hypothalamus glands in particular) in the system. These glands direct the function of 40 endocrine glands and help balance 31 hormones. Composition: Indium is an essential trace element for the production of hormones.
