Glossary
Column
Amino Acids
-
Are the
building blocks of protein. Your body is primarily made of protein.
And protein in turn, is made up of chains of amino acids What
distinguishes all amino acids is that they all have a group, (amine
group), made of 1 atom of nitrogen & 2 atoms of hydrogen.
Arteriosclerosis
- Also known as
"hardening of the arteries." A disease where plaque-(unwanted
gunk) builds up on the inner surface of the artery walls.
The plaque is composed of 3 things. 1.)Fats-(triglycerides),
2.)Cholesterol, & Fibrin a blood clotting material which contains
Calcium.
Endothelium
- The inner surface of any tube in the body. In this case the inner
surface of the arteries.
Free-Form Amino Acids
-
Individual amino acids that are unattached to each other or
anything else & therefore able to be immediately absorbed into the
blood stream with no digestion necessary. Since, unlike
proteins, free-form amino acids require absolutely no
digestion, they can be absorbed by anyone no matter how old they may
be or the condition of their digestive system. Also, unlike
proteins, free-form amino acids can be taken on an empty stomach
such as right before a workout. Whereas proteins have to have a
mass of food sufficient to stimulate the release of digestive
juices. This is why most protein supplements are presented as
blender drinks. Free-form amino acids are not to be confused with
so-called "predigested protein."
Negative nitrogen balance
- The condition of
excreting more amino acids & protein than one is taking in. This
makes it difficult to maintain ones body since the body's tissues
are mainly made of protein & amino acids which require constant
maintenance & repair.
Precursors
- the substance from which another
substance is made.
Protein
- Chains of some combination of the 20 so-called "proteogenic" amino acids.
(proteogenic means to generate protein). In other words their
are only 20 amino acids from which all proteins in all organic life
both animal & vegetable are made. Not all 20 are in every protein, but
nothing else but some portion of the 20 proteogenic amino acids in
repetitive long chains often approx. 100,000 amino acids long are what all
proteins in all life are made from.
Secretalogical cells
- Cells that secrete
hormones.

Montiff
Information Page
on:
Vaso-Lene
(To Support Endothelial Function)
|
Each capsule contains:
L- Carnitine Fumarate - 165mg
(Elemental);
L- Arginine HCL- 200 mg (Elemental)-Information
Page;
L-Citrulline
- 50
mg-Information
Page;
Pine Bark Extract - 10mg.
DIRECTIONS: May be combined with
Montiff Cir-Cu-Care for complete circulation support (2 per day).
May also add Cardio-Care (with folic acid, B-6, & B-12; take 2 per
day) for full spectrum Cardio-Vascular support. Otherwise, 1-2
B-Complete or B-Long are recommended to provide folic acid, B-6 and
B-12, for the prevention of harmful homocysteine levels as well as
proper amino acid metabolism.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
-
Supporting the
endothelial system.
-
Repairing and
preventing damage to these cells that are essential for vascular
health.
-
For those with
existing vascular problems, including high blood pressure.
-
Loss of libido
-
Helping to prevent and
reverse Arteriosclerosis by assisting in the maintenance and
repair of endothelial cells, which produce important Nitric Oxide.
-
Individuals who have a
family history of vascular disease.
-
Helping to prevent
high blood pressure by maintenance of endothelial cells to insure
healthy arteries, veins and capillaries.
WHAT IS THE
ENDOTHELIAL SYSTEM AND WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF ARGININE?
-
The endothelial cells
are absolutely critical to healthy arterial/venal function. They
surround the smooth muscle rings and expand the artery's diameter,
effecting the blood carrying capacity.
-
They originate on the
outside of the artery and weave through the walls.
-
These cells, like all
human cells, require oxygen and nutrients, and Arginine is
essential for their proper function.
-
Endothelial cells make
Nitric Oxide (NO) from Arginine, which is responsible for the
endothelial relaxing factor (EDRF), and plays an essential role in
the regulation of vascular homeostasis.
-
In the cardiovascular
system, Nitric Oxide's important functions are for the modulation
of cardiac contractility, regulation of vascular tone, and the
prevention of vessel injury and Arteriosclerosis. It is also an
important free radical scavenger.
-
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,
their blood supply to the endothelial cells gets blocked, also
preventing the production of Nitric Oxide. After many years of
plaque accumulation, Arteriosclerosis occurs. Recent studies from
major universities suggest that Arginine supplementation can begin
to reverse this process by helping to restore endothelial cells
that have been damaged, and increase their ability to make Nitric
Oxide.
-
Even with those who
have had impaired vasodilatation, Arginine supplementation helped
lower high blood pressure and lowered cholesterol and LDL levels.
-
Arginine
supplementation can also prevent damage to endothelial cells in
the arteries, veins and capillaries to insure a healthy
circulatory system.
-
VASO-LENE provides a
rich source of Arginine, as well as other ingredients to promote
endothelial and circulatory health.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
OTHER BENEFITS OF VASO-LENE?
The highest quality amino acids and
other nutraceuticals are used in VASO-LENE, as well as all other
Montiff fine products. Desiccant pads are included to insure
freshness.
-
L-CITRULLINE enhances
the production of Arginine in the kidneys, thus helping to
increase Nitric Oxide.
-
L-CARNITINE is an
amino acid, synthesized in the human liver, and found in red meat
(not found in vegetable forms of protein).
-
Carnitine is important
in maintaining a healthy cardio-vascular system and is essential
for fat metabolism, increasing HDL levels, and reducing
triglycerides.
-
High levels of
Carnitine are found in heart muscle, and carnitine functions to
supply the heart with the metabolic energy necessary to pump.
-
Carnitine acts as an anti-oxidant in the kidneys which is
important when supplementing with Arginine.
-
It can protect the
heart from myocardial lschemia and benefit people who suffer from
angina pectoris.
-
Carnitine improves
arrhythmias, prevents congestive heart failure, may prevent
myocardial necrosis, and helps improve the recovery rate of those
with myocardial infarctions.
-
Supplementation of
carnitine has been shown to improve walking capacity of those
suffering from pain caused by blockage in the major arteries (or
intermittent claudication).
-
L-Carnitine Fumarate
is an active form of carnitine, for more bioavailabilty.
-
PINE BARK EXTRACT, a
flavonoid with potent antioxidant properties, helps detoxify
harmful free radicals, and increases the levels of Nitric Oxide.
