What Are The Health Benefits Of L-Arginine?

Semi-essential amino acid L-arginine when consumed in foods and in supplements, has shown promise in the prevention of arteriosclerosis (blockage of the arteries). Once in the Body, arginine makes its way into the bloodstream and circulates throughout the body. As it enters the endothelial cells that line the smooth muscle walls of blood vessels, an enzymatic reaction occurs that converts arginine to nitric oxide. As the levels of arginine rise in the body, so does your production of nitric oxide, which in turn can have a dramatic and positive effect on your cardiovascular health and related body systems.

To learn more about L-Arginine,... Google it! Arginine is a vitally important amino acid that has been studied for more than fifty years. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and protein is the building block of all living cells. The following is a study on Arginine Benefits:

Health Benefits of Arginine
By Harry Elwardt, N.D., Ph.D.

The following report, which is backed up by incredible scientific research, shows the many health benefits of increased Arginine in the human body. Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid, which is produced in the liver and can be found in protein rich foods like red meat. Medical research has now shown that by simply supplementing with 3 to 6 grams of Arginine everyday all the following is possible:

Aging Process
• Arginine inibits one of the primary mechanisms of the aging process (it inhibits the
process of cross-linking). (1)
• Arginine increases the release of the human growth hormone (HGH) (also known as
the anti-aging hormone) from the pituitary gland. (2)

Cardiovascular System
• Arginine improves blood circulation, improves exercise capability and facilitates
vasodilation in angina Patients. (3)
• Arginine helps to prevent atherosclerosis and reduces the severity of existing
atherosclerosis. (4)
• Arginine inhibits the adhesion of monocytes to the endothelium (an underlying event in
the course of atherosclerosis). (5)
• Arginine improves blood circulation (by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, an
endogenous neurotransmitter that helps to prevent vasoconstriction and which
initiates vasodilation by relaxing the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels). (6)
• Arginine helps to prevent abnormal blood clotting (by stimulating the production of
plasmin and by increasing vasodilation). (7)

*Caution: Arginine is also speculated to exacerbate some types of cancer, however
this is just a theory.

the thymus and restores the production of thymic hormones to youthful levels. (43)
• Arginine helps to counteract inflammation. (44)
• Arginine accelerates the ability of the immune system to recover from surgery. (45)
• Arginine improves sickle cell disease. (46)

I feel absolutely wonderful and revitalized, and I can tell you how welcome this feeling is to me. We have such a powerful product to share with people and now the waiting is over." Charme B.

Many studies have found that arginine supplements can boost nitric oxide production and therefore may help aid in the resistance of heart disease and circulatory diseases. Arginine stimulates the immune system, treats impotency and may fight against cancer.

Some have also suggested that the supplements can improve the function of blood vessels, enhance coronary blood flow, lower blood pressure, and even reduce angina or other symptoms in people with heart disease and/or vascular disease.

CardioForLife

The Best L-Arginine Supplement Available.

Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that has shown promise in the prevention of arteriosclerosis (blockage of the arteries).

L-arginine is pure 100% free form arginine and is the precursor for endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO).

Three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize In Medicine in 1998 for discovering nitric oxide's role as a vasodilator.

In a healthy endothelium (inner wall of a blood vessel), nitric oxide (NO) will keep vessels pliable and elastic, dilate (open up) blood vessels keeping blood flowing smoothly, relax blood vessels, keep platelets and white blood cells calm and prevent them from sticking to the vessel wall, prevent oxidation, slow plaque growth, suppress arteriosclerosis and melt away plaque that already exists.

L-Arginine is thousand times more powerful than any naturally occurring antioxidant in the body. L-Arginine's antioxidant properties support various body systems and may protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, as well as slowing premature aging.
