L-arginine Veggie Caps - The growth and maintenance of muscle tissue is a tricky thing. There are several chemicals which will cause it to grow, and several which will cause it to atrophy. L-Arginine falls into the category of growth – with exercise, of course – because it has been shown to nudge the body into producing human growth hormone when taken on an empty stomach (and at night, before going to sleep to coincide with the body’s natural release of hormones). Our form of arginine is ‘l-arginine’ which is the form most bio-available to your body (in fact, some other forms could be dangerous). This particular supplement should receive more press due to the fact that is has multiple beneficial functions within the body and is relatively inexpensive. This is one of those supplements that probably scare the drug companies.
If you recovering from injuries, you will need help to grow back lost muscle tissue – our l-arginine will help you in that effort. During these times, as well as after intense exercise, ammonia is produced in the body – you can smell it on yourself (let your shirts sit around a while after exercise and you will see what we mean). Why is ammonia bad? Because it destroys muscle tissue whenever the two meet – you can see why this is so when you use ammonia to clean parts of your house – it kills any/all bacteria (so imagine what it does to your muscle tissue). Your body will excrete ammonia whenever possible (hence the smell), however, l-arginine will neutralize it within your body. Our president, Patrick Rhodes, has personally found this to be extremely effective. He has noted how much ‘harder’ his muscles are after using l-arginine on a daily basis – no more ammonia!
Everybody has heard of Viagra. However, we should all remember that it is still a drug, and thus must be detoxified within the liver (like all drugs). Did you know that L-Arginine might help you in this area? It has been used to treat erectile dysfunction, due to poor circulation and blood flow. Of course, it is exactly this which enables you to have an erection (proper blood flow), and our l-arginine will get you there. Unlike a drug, l-arginine is safe, but also must be taken daily to get these types of effects. L-Arginine is a pre-cursor to nitric oxide, which is vital for normal blood flow and sexual function. Without nitric oxide, men will not be able to get an erection. For you women out there – the same thing is necessary – you need extra blood flow to make your clitoral and vaginal tissues more sensitive and responsive to stimulation. Even when given to animals, they had a very significant increase in libido and sexual endurance. Your best bet is to take a couple of grams an hour or so before sex – on an empty stomach – to achieve results, but note that it is best if taken daily (at night, before bed, on an empty stomach). Don’t let this powerful supplement pass you by…
