Synopsis

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

Gerovital H3 is primarily used to support or treat wrinkles based on traditional claims rather than robust scientific evidence. Developed in the 1950s by Romanian physician Ana Aslan, Gerovital H3 contains procaine hydrochloride as its main active ingredient. It gained popularity in Eastern Europe and among some celebrities as an "anti-aging" remedy, with anecdotal reports suggesting improvements in skin appearance and reduction of wrinkles. However, the scientific rationale for its effectiveness in wrinkle reduction is weak. Clinical studies on Gerovital H3's efficacy are limited, often methodologically flawed, and have not been widely reproduced or accepted by the broader medical community. Regulatory agencies such as the US FDA have not approved Gerovital H3 for anti-aging or wrinkle treatment due to insufficient evidence. Most claims about its benefits stem from tradition, historical use, and promotional materials rather than rigorous research. In summary, while Gerovital H3 continues to be marketed for its supposed anti-wrinkle properties, the evidence supporting these claims is minimal and largely rooted in tradition rather than validated science.
