Ultimate Nutrition's ARGININE POWER CAPSULES

L-Arginine is a naturally-occurring basic amino acid which participates in many important biochemical reactions associated with the normal physiology of the organism. Arginine power is the purest form of L-Arginine produced by exclusive Fermapure TM technology.

L-Arginine has several roles in the human body. To summarize, here are some of the few conditions reported to respond to L-Arginine therapy- Angina Pectoris, Atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, nephrosclerosis, associated with diabetes mellitus, sterility associated with oligospermia.

Body builders are especially benefited by L-Arginine, because of its effect on growth hormone levels. Research has shown that consumption of 1 to 2 grams of L-Arginine daily, with weight training, a greater decrease in body fat was obtained after only five weeks. L-Arginine is also a necessary amino acid to increase protein synthesis, which in turn promotes the cellular replication. Thus, Arginine helps people with inadequate numbers of certain cells. It is noteworthy that studies have found that men with low sperm counts experienced an increase in the number of sperms when they supplement with L-Arginine.

When L-Arginine metabolizes, it produces nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide keeps the blood vessels dilated, in turn helping the heart to receive an adequate oxygen supply. This explains why some researchers are using L-Arginine in people with conditions such as angina and congestive heart failure.

The ability of L-Arginine to increase growth hormone and prolactin release, serve as a precursor for the muscle fuel creatine, and detoxify ammonia could provide a basis for enhanced performance.

To Summarize, the scientists at Ultimate Nutrition think that L-Arginine is a magical amino acid that offers numerous benefits to the human body. Ultimate Nutrition's Arginine Power capsules are manufactured under strictest quality control to guarantee your satisfaction.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) What does Arginine Do?
Arginine has a multifaceted roll in our body chemistry. It is reportedly very effective in cases of angina pectoris, hypertension, coronary artery diseases, and sterility. It increases release of growth hormone and prolactin, facilitating enhanced performance.

2) Where is it found naturally?
The human body produces arginine, even when it is lacking in the diet. But during the times of stress, the body may not be able to keep up with the increased requirements. Arginine is present in various amounts in all the proteins that are ingested in the diet. Dairy products, meat, poultry, and fish are especially better sources of arginine. Chocolate and nuts also contain significant amounts of arginine.

3) How much of arginine should be taken?
Daily consumption of 1 to 2 grams is recommended for the healthy individual. Some people with serious trauma should consume appropriate amounts of arginine, as determined by health professionals. Determine the optimal intake of arginine for enhanced performance after consulting with your health professional.

4) Are there any side effects?
Research thus far reveals no obvious side effects. But as with any supplement, consult your physician prior to use, if you are pregnant, nursing, and sensitive to herpes virus or have liver of kidney disease. At this time there are no well-known drug interactions with arginine.
