R-Factors formulary consists of Banaba Leaf Extract, Resveratrol, and Alpha-lipoic, as well as other ingredients outlined on the website. Let’s take a look at these ingredients.

Resveratrol is a type of antibiotic produced by plants, such as grapes, when they are stressed out. This ingredient is purported to be able to boost overall health, as well as being purported to have anti-cancer, anti-aging, antiviral, anti-inflammatory properties. It is included in many nutritional supplements. This ingredient is typically extracted from the skin of grapes.

Banaba Leaf Extract is purported to be able to control blood sugar levels. To date there have been no human studies conducted on this ingredient. It has not been proven to have any effect on anti-aging in humans.

Alpha-lipoic is believed to be an antioxidant, which has some effect on controlling blood sugar levels.

This product is built upon Resveratrol and this manufacturer believes that it can help reduce the signs of aging through addressing caloric restriction. This concept is not as brand new as this website would have us believe and this concept does have some holes in it. Research has been conducted on worms and fish, and this ingredient has extended their life spans, however, it has not been studied on humans and to date these anti-aging properties are not understood fully. We believe that further research is needed to better understand if these results can be duplicated in humans.

As mentioned earlier, Resveratrol is usually extracted from the skins of grapes; many have suggested that taking small sips of wine during the day can achieve the same results as taking this supplement. Small amounts are suggested because Resveratrol is believed to move through the human body very quickly usually in 30 minutes.

In general, we are not convinced that this ingredient is the magic bullet this manufacturer would have us believe it is. In fact we believe that formulas which use real HGHR are far more effective in producing anti-aging results and rejuvenating users. Signs of aging are often a result of a diminishing supply of HGH produced by the pituitary gland. The introduction of HGHR stimulates this gland and the production of HGH, thereby boosting the body’s anti-aging capabilities.

This website does supply a fair amount of information regarding the concepts used to create this product, which we really like to see. It provides consumers with some valuable information. Also, it does supply information regarding its formulary and the ingredients used in this product. We always like to see manufactures provide this information to consumers; though too many manufactures and retailers omit this information.

At first we were glad to see that this website had a testimonials section. At first glance it appeared to be full of testimonials for this product. However, after further review we realized that the testimonials posted are not for this product, but are for the other products sold on this website, which we found to be disconcerting. We could not help but wonder why there were testimonial posted for the other products, but not R-Factors, when they provide an easy to use system to post reviews. We could not help but wonder if this product is less effective than the others sold by this manufacturer.

• Inexpensive

• No testimonials posted for this product
• Does not use real HGHR
• Uses an unproven technology and concepts

This product may appeal to those who are interested in using a product which is based on caloric restriction, which is a rather unproved technology. We believe for the most part that the ingredients used in this product are rather benign. This product relies very heavily on Resveratrol, which we do not believe is as effective in addressing anti-aging issues as real HGHR, which has a proven track record in being able to boost the body’s anti-aging capabilities.

However, R-Factors can be purchased on this retailer’s website for $29.97 for a one month supply and $74.97 for a three month supply. We would have liked to have seen a free shipping offered for this product, given its use of an unproved technology. However, this website does not offer this very valuable feature, which is usually offered by manufacturers who really believe that their products can create results.
