Acid form of Arginine. Call tech department to find out differnce between acid & alkaline forms of Arginine.
RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION RELATING TO NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND DEFICIENCIES PERTAINING TO:
Endothelial support for circulatory health.
Promoting protein synthesis and anabolic activity for those with surgical stress, trauma, sepsis and catabolic conditions.
Immune support.
Urea cycle support.
Anabolic response for athletic physique.
For vascular health, and high blood pressure, Pure L-Arginine-HCL (Elemental) may be combined with Cardio-Care, Vaso-Lene and Cir-Cu-Care to increase nitric oxide production and maximize total endothelial support.
Those with active Herpes (genital or “cold sores”), or elevated titers to the herpes virus, EBV, Mono or similar viruses should take additional Lysine to maintain the proper Lysine/Arginine balance of at least twice the amount of Lysine to Arginine ratio. To prevent biochemical competition of these amino acids, take Arginine approximately 1-5 hours prior to Lysine supplementation.
Is important for a healthy cardio-vascular system.
Promotes endothelial support for circulatory health.
Is part of the urea cycle and is important in wound healing and the immune system.
Makes up 80% of sperm and may be useful for infertility.
May promote growth hormone Production in conjunction with Ornithine, and anabolic support for the athlete.
Those with active herpes or elevated titers to the herpes virus, EBV, Mono or similar viruses should take additional Lysine to maintain the proper Lysine/Arginine balance of at least twice the amount of Lysine to Arginine ratio.
WHAT IS ARGININE?
Arginine is synthesized in the intestinal tract from Citrulline, and its major food sources are nuts, (peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts and pecans) although it is also abundant in chocolate, carob, and edible seeds. It is the precursor for Ornithine and is a vital part of the urea cycle, being involved in the detoxification and elimination of ammonia. It is also important for Nitric Oxide production, (necessary for endothelial health and vasodilation), protein synthesis, wound healing, immune function and has a secretalogical effect on hormones. Eighty percent of seminal fluid is made of Arginine, and it plays a role in the reproductive system of females as well. It is also a precursor required to synthesize polyamines, which are required for growth and function of all healthy cells. Those with Herpes and similar viruses should take additional Lysine to maintain metabolic Lysine/Arginine balance. Since it competes for absorption with Lysine, the Lysine supplements should be administered approximately 1-5 hours after Arginine supplementation.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ARGININE AND NITRIC OXIDE
Nitric Oxide (NO), a small molecule synthesized from Arginine in the body, is the endothelial relaxing factor (EDRF). It plays an essential role in the regulation of vascular homeostasis, and modulates cardiac contractility, regulates vascular tone, and helps in preventing vessel injury and Atherosclerosis. Studies at major universities support the importance of Nitric Oxide, and its role in the endothelial-vascular system of the body, as well as the effects of Arginine supplementation on normalizing high blood pressure levels and its potential to lower cholesterol and LDL levels.
Recent studies suggest that damage from hypertension, high cholesterol and other coronary heart disease factors, impairs the ability of the endothelium to produce necessary Nitric Oxide. When plaque builds up, the blood supply to the endothelial cells gets blocked and also prevents the production of Nitric Oxide. After many years of plaque accumulation, Atherosclerosis occurs. These recent medical studies suggest that Arginine supplementation can begin to reverse this process by helping to restore endothelial cells that have been damaged, and increase the |
