The following report, which is backed up by incredible scientific research, shows the many health
advantages of increased Arginine in the human body. Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid, which is
produced in the liver and can be acquired through protein rich foods like red meat. Medical research has
now shown that by simply adding 3 to 6 grams of Arginine everyday you may be the following results:
Aging Process
- Arginine prevents one of the primary mechanisms of the aging process from continuing (it inhibits
the process of cross-linking). (1) [cross-linking is the joining of two molecules together which
are close together which, in turn, causes a bond between these proteins resulting in more
complex molecule]
- 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 increases blood circulation, increases exercise capability and helps increase
vasodilatation in patients.with chest pains (3) [vasodilatation is the making the blood vessel
wider]
- Arginine helps to prevent atherosclerosis and decreases the severity of existing atherosclerosis. (4)
[atherosclerosis is a form of arteriosclerosis characterized by the deposition of plaques
containing cholesterol and lipids on the innermost layer of the walls of large- and medium-sized
arteries.]
- 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 preven]sodilation (leading to increased blood circulation) in
congestive heart failure patients. (9) [that means more blood flow but, the heart is not having to
work harder. If I had congestive heart faiilure, this is what I would want my heart to do.]
- Arginine [assists the body to] reverse consequences of coronary heart disease. (10)
- Arginine lowers blood pressure in some hypertension patients (by facilitating the body's
production of nitric oxide (NO) and by inhibiting the angiotensin converting enzyme
- (ACE)). (11) [This is any of three polypeptide hormones, one of which is a powerful
vasoconstrictor, that function in the body in controlling arterial pressure.]
