Ana Aslan – The Fight Against Aging
Overall, the launch of the product based upon the H3 vitamin was a complete international success. With the help of doctor Constantin Ion Parhon (1874-1969), chairman of the National Assembly, Ana Aslan founded the Geriatrics Institute from Bucharest in 1952, the first of its kind in the world, which later became the National Geriatrics and Gerontology Institute. The resort transformed into a place of hope for numerous personalities seeking never ending youth. Celebrities such as John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Iosip Broz Tito, Pablo Neruda, Charlie Chaplin, Salvador Dali, Indira Gandhi, Charles de Gaulle, Marlene Dietrich, Aristotel Onassis, Nikita Khruscev, Konrad Adenauer or Prince Ibn Saud were among those who used Gerovital treatments. She also treated many old men and women, with asking for money and the authorities charged her with the accumulated expenses, which reached the sum of 1 500 000 lei. The charges were withdrawn only a year before her death in 1988.
In 1961, together with the chemist Elena Polovrageanu, she invented and patented a new product, Aslavital, which entered mass production in 1980 and which was used for prophylactic treatments of cerebral and cardiovascular aging processes, physical and psychic asthenia or memory losses.
Ana Aslan was a member of the New York Academy of Science, of the Prophylactic Medicine and Social Hygiene World Union, of the National Gerontology Society of Chile, honorary member of European Center for Applied Medical Research, member in the Board of International Gerontology Association and counselor at the World Health Organization.
She received awards such as the International “Leon Bernard” Prize and Medal (World Health Organization), Merito della Republica, Commander Degree (Italy), Gold Medal (Nicaragua), Knight of the Order “Les Palmes Academiques” (France), the Order “De Orange Nassau”, Commander Degree (Netherlands), Honoris Causa Professor of the Braganza Paulista University (Brazil) and the International Prize “Dag Hamarskoeld” (Florence – Italy).
