Extended Info
L-arginine is an amino acid with its primary metabolic role being within the urea cycle, the biochemical pathway that metabolises nitrogen and protein. L-arginine stimulates the secretion of a number of important hormones including hypothalamic corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), pituitary growth hormone, and prolactin, pancreatice insulin, glucagons, pancreozymin and polypeptide, somatostatin, aldosterone, and adrenal catecholamines. Argenine and Ornithine have been shown to be involved in:
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH arginine helps the arteries inner lining, called the endothelium, produce nitric oxide, which plays a role in the regulation of blood flow, and keeps blood platelets free from clumping or aggregation.
WEIGHT CONTROL arginine is required for insulin production, blood sugar control and appears to also inhibit fat absorption.
WOUND HEALING arginine has been shown to improve wound healing in injured and stressed humans
FERTILITY arginine has been shown to increase sperm count and motility
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION l-arginine is required for the production of nitric oxide (NO) which is responsible for the male erection. The arteries supplying blood to the genitals depend on nitric oxide to allow them to relax and permit additional blood flow. The drug VIAGRA also works through a mechanism that increases nitric oxide production in these arteries.
CHOLESTEROL LOWERING the higher the arginine to lysine ratio the lower the cholesterol level
DETOXIFICATION supports urea and ammonia detoxification
GROWTH PROMOTING shown to elevate growth hormone and creatine synthesis
IMMUNE BOOSTING arginine has been shown to stimulate the thymus gland
