Insignia Laboratory Solutions, a California company founded in 1998, develops and markets peptide products and cosmeceuticals. Insignia carries a host of products aimed at reducing aging symptoms, as well as a diet supplement, Reprotin. Reprotin, or HTA7, serves as an alternative to prescription human growth hormone, or HGH. Part of their signature brands, Insignia offers Reprotin as tablets and as an oral spray.
Background
Insignia produces peptide products to foster skin regeneration and assist weight loss. Peptides, naturally occurring chains of amino acids, play a key role in the release of hormones, blood sugar regulation and neurotransmitter production. Peptides consist of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, which your body utilizes to repair and maintain organs, muscles, tendons, skin, hair and nails.
Insignia's Reprotin supplement contains a polypeptide consisting 60-amino acid chain, comprised of seven essential and non-essential amino acids. Ingesting amino acids as part of a diet and exercise program helps decrease body fat and increase lean muscle mass.
Reprotin Tablets
Insignia Reprotin tablets aim to stimulate growth hormones, promote weight loss and increase lean muscle tissue. The active ingredient, HTA7 polypeptide, consists of leucine, proline, lysine, glutamine, aspartic acid, metionin and alanine. Leucine, the primary active amino acid in Reprotin, enhances body compostion and spares lean muscle tissue while dieting. Insignia recommends taking Reprotin before bed on an empty stomach to maximize weight loss, or after a meal to maximize muscle growth. Although Reprotin stimulates the natural production of growth hormone, is doesn't contain HGH, which may contribute to heart disease and diabetes.
Oral Spray
Insignia's offers their Reprotin formula in a 2,500 ng-strength oral spray. In addition to amino acids, ingredients include deionized water, melatonin and trace minerals such as calcium and iron. Insignia purports that Reprotin provides benefits such as increased muscle mass without exercise and loss of body fat without dieting, two claims not supported by scientific research. A balanced diet and exercise program provides the healthiest and most effective weight loss results. For suggested use, take two to three sprays under your tongue two to three times a day. Each dose provides 2,000 to 4,000 ng of HTA7 and may help regulate insulin and metabolize glucose and body fat. Oral spray supplements, such as the Reprotin oral spray formula, provide a higher absorption rate than tablet supplements.
