Re: Gerovital H3

I first noticed years ago that, contrary to "mythology," I felt much happier after having my teeth worked on than I did prior to my dental appointments. And not because I no longer had a tooth ache -- usually I didn't come in with a toothache. I finally realized that the procaine used as an anaesthetic must have some sort of antidepressant effect. Unfortunately, that effect was always short-lived. (Fortunately, I had a lot of cavities!)

So I don't doubt that Gerovital could have mild antidepressant properties. And conceivably, by taking it every day the effect could be cumulative. But I suspect that if it worked really well, knowledge of its efficacy would be widespread and unassailable. After all, Prozac isn't widely known JUST because of marketing but because it works for so many people.

Still, who knows, maybe Gerovital added to other med(s) would give certain individuals exactly the extra boost they need to get genuine relief from depression.

> Thanks for this info re the anti-aging hoax. However, most of us are just trying to stay moderately happy so we're more interested in whether or not the claims for *antidepressant* effects are a hoax or not. Do you have any infor regarding that which could help us?
