Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Gerovital H3 is primarily associated with traditional use for aging prevention, rather than robust scientific validation. Developed in Romania in the 1950s by Dr. Ana Aslan, Gerovital H3 is a formulation based on procaine hydrochloride. It gained significant popularity in Europe, especially among celebrities and the elite, as an "anti-aging" therapy. Dr. Aslan claimed that Gerovital H3 could slow down the aging process, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall vitality. However, scientific studies supporting these claims have been limited, of poor quality, or have shown mixed results. Most research has failed to demonstrate substantial or reproducible anti-aging effects. Major medical organizations and regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, have not approved Gerovital H3 for aging prevention or treatment, and its use is banned in some countries. The continued reputation of Gerovital H3 as an anti-aging remedy is largely due to its historical and cultural legacy, rather than solid scientific evidence. Therefore, its use is best characterized as being justified by tradition, with a low level (1 out of 5) of supporting evidence.
