Is this suplement a scam?

Re: Is this supplement a scam?

Going by the ingredients it has no recognized growth factors.
It has an anti inflammatory,digestive aid,energizing aids.
But has one ingredient that is most interesting and controversial.

Indium is the most powerful of all trace minerals. Element #49 on the Periodic Table, it is midpoint between alkaline and acid metals, making it the most unique of all minerals. Research indicates that Indium helps to alleviate skin outbreaks, hormonal insufficiencies, endocrine (glandular) system imbalances, empowers the platinum group elements (platinum, gold, silver, etc.) to protect and enhance the DNA. Indium works like creatine and stimulates lean muscle mass. It has been shown in studies with mice that indium greatly increases one's life-span, and overall mineralization. The mice that were given indium were 3-5 times more mineralized, and lived three times longer than the control group both groups were fed the same diet. Indium is not found in food in the United States.

Indium helps replenish hormone levels that naturally start to fall with age
One of the theories regarding the ageing process is that it is precipitated by the decreased production of certain hormones as we get older. Indium appears to counteract this by stimulating hormonal production to youthful levels. It does this by stimulating the master hormone producers - the hypothalamus and pituitary gland - that in turn stimulate the production of over thirty hormones. These hormones then circulate throughout the body and help prevent and fight various aspects of the ageing process - for example, supplies of growth hormone are boosted, which controls metabolism and affects bone density.

Dr J Nevison, a specialist in allergy care who practises in Hertfordshire, has observed excellent results in those patients she has prescribed indium supplements to. She says,

'I often recommend indium to patients who come to me with symptoms of fatigue or low energy because it helps improve energy levels and enables people to deal with stress more effectively.'

As mentioned earlier, studies have shown that indium increases the absorption of other trace elements. For example, when indium was added to the diet of study participants, researchers found that copper - needed for hormone synthesis and the manufacture of collagen (the 'glue' that holds connective tissue together) - absorption was increased by an average of 161 per cent. Zinc, which is needed for normal growth, fertility, mental alertness, skin health, immune function and cell reproduction, was increased by 179 per cent; and chromium (which is needed for blood sugar balance) by 433 per cent.1
