Arginine
Dietary Supplement which help lower Blood Sugar Levels
Essential Amino Acid. This Dietary Supplement helps the Pituitary
Gland release Growth Hormones to Reverse Age the Body. This
is the secret of Celibrities who look years younger than their
actual age. To enhance the effect of this Amino Acid, it is
fortied with Powerful Antioxidant like Organic Fat soluble
Vitamin C and other Growth Hormone producing and Energizing
Herbs.
Herbal Ingredients (dosage 650mg):
L- Arginine 300mg + Organic Ester C 50mg + Organic Zinc 50mg
+ Hydrocotyl Asiatica 150mg + Withania Somnifera 75mg + Zingiber
Officinale 25mg Arginine retards the growth of tumors and cancer by enhancing
immune function. It increases the size and activity of the
thymus gland, which manufactures T lymphocytes (T cells),
crucial components of the immune system. Arginine may therefore
benefit those suffering from AIDS and malignant diseases that
suppress the immune system. It is also good for liver disorders
such as cirrhosis of the liver and fatty liver; it aids in
liver detoxification by neutralizing ammonia. It may reduce
the effect of chronic alcohol toxicity. Seminal
fluid contains arginine. Studies suggest that sexual
maturity may be delayed by arginine deficiency; conversely,
arginine is useful in treating sterility in men. It is found
in high concentrations in the skin and connective tissues,
making it helpful for healing and repair of damages tissue. Arginine is important for muscle metabolism. It helps to
maintain a proper nitrogen balance by acting as a vehicle
for transportation and storage, and aiding in the excretion,
of excess nitrogen. Studies have shown that it also reduces
nitrogen losses in people who have undergone surgery, and
improves the function of cells in lymphatic tissue. This amino
acid aids in weight loss because it facilitates an increase
in muscle mass and reduction of body fat. It is also involved
in a variety of enzymes and hormones. It
aids in stimulating the pancreas to release Insulin, is a
component of the Pituitary Hormone vasopressin, and assists
in the release of Growth Hormones. Because arginine
is a component of collagen and aids in building new bone and
tendon cells, it can be good for arthritis and connective
tissue disorders. Scar tissue that forms during wound healing
is made up of collagen, which is rich in arginine. A
variety of functions, including insulin production, glucose
tolerance, and liver lipid metabolism, are impaired if the
body is deficient in arginine. This amino acid can be produced in the body; however, in
newborn infants, production may not occur quickly enough to
keep up with requirements. It is therefore deemed essential
early in the life. Caution:
People with viral infections such as herpes should not take
supplemental arginine, and should avoid foods rich in arginine
and low in the amino acid lysine (see below), as this appears
to promote the growth of certain viruses. L-Arginine supplements
should be avoided by pregnant and lactating women. Persons
with schizophrenia should avoid amount over 30 milligrams
daily. Long-term use, especially of high doses, is not recommended.
One study found that several weeks of large doses may results
in thickening and coarsening of the skin.
