L-Arginine - An important amino acid abundant in protamines and histones, these are proteins associated with nucleic acids. L-arginine is used by the immune system to help regulate the activity of the thymus gland, which is responsible for manufacturing T lymphocytes. (These are the T-cells, the basis of the immune system). In the pancreas it is used to release insulin. It is important in liver health and assists in neutralizing ammonia in the liver. It is also involved in the production of skin and connective tissue, making it important for the healing and repair of soft tissue, the formation of collagen and in the building of new bone and tendons.
It is helpful with weight control since it facilitates the increase of muscle mass, while reducing body fat. L-Arginine also creates nitric oxide in the human body (nitric oxide is one of the most essential substances which influence sexual function in both men and women), and helps to improve circulation. As a supplement, it is being utilized not only to increase HGH, has positive effects on heart disease symptoms, is a proven to boost muscle growth, improves wound healing, combats fatigue, stimulates the immune system, cure impotences, and fight cancer.
The effects of Arginine supplementation include increased fat burning and muscle building, enhanced immunity, and improving erectile function in men.
Arginine is in most 'natural Viagra ' formulations.
Arginine appears to increase HGH levels by blocking the secretions of growth hormone inhibitor Somatostatin.
Arginine has been used by millions of athletes over the past 20 years to enhance production of HGH.
Arginine works even into old age, with one European study showing that it boosted blood levels of HGH to three times the level seen in their age group.
Vasodilation is a second valuable asset. Arginine’s effects in this area occur after enzymes transform it into nitric oxide ( not Nitrous Oxide! ) or NO, a messenger gas that travels easily from cell to cell.
Nitric Oxide is a compound that relaxes blood vessels, it helps keep arteries flexible and boosts blood flow. JP
