BODY RIPPED – L-ARGININE | GH NITRIC OXIDE BOOSTER

L-ARGININE is an amino acid which is considered ‘conditionally essential’ because of the many important roles it plays in the body which may be compromised if a deficiency occurs. Of chief interest to athletes is its ability to increase muscle pump (and work capacity) by enhancing Nitric Oxide release. Arginine’s other claim to fame is its ability to stimulate the release of Growth Hormone from the pituitary gland, boosting recovery, fat loss, and potentially, muscle growth.

L-Arginine is commonly used by athletes to boost Nitric Oxide release for dilation of blood vessels and capillaries, providing increased blood flow to the muscles (leading to increased work capacity and muscle ‘pump’).

BENEFITS OF SUPPLEMENTING WITH L-ARGININE

Muscle Growth

L-arginine contributes to muscle growth because it is needed for the synthesis of most proteins. While the muscle mass increases, L-arginine also signals muscle cells, encourages the release of growth hormone and promotes fat metabolism.

Vasodilation and Endurance

As a precursor for the vasodilator, nitric oxide, L-arginine promotes endurance and muscle conditioning. When nitric oxide is released, it widens the blood vessels by relaxing the muscles of their walls. This lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow to the muscles during workouts. The increased blood flow means that oxygen and nutrients are adequately supplied to your muscles and for longer amounts of time. This can help reduce muscle damage, promote healing and provide peak performance.

Boosting the Immune System

L-arginine helps maintain overall health by boosting the immune system. It mops up free radicals and increases the effectiveness of the cells of the immune system.

Increase GH Production

Cellular growth is stimulated by several amino acids. L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid required for infants and child growth that promotes GH secretion by inhibiting somatostatin, which suppresses the GH-releasing hormone. L-Arginine has been reported to stimulate protein synthesis by activating the mTORC1 signaling pathway via activation of the PI3K pathway.

DIRECTIONS

Consume 1g of L Arginine 30 minutes before training.
