L-ARGININE HCL
L-ARGININE HCL
is found in many foods such as meat, dairy products,
fish, poultry, etc. It is involved in cell division, wound healing, removal of
ammonia from the body, immunity to illness, and the secretion of important
hormones. It is used by the body to make nitric oxide which relaxes blood
vessels, and it can cause the release of human growth hormone from the pituitary
gland.
Directions: Take
1-3 capsules per day or as recommended by a health care professional. Pure
Arginine HCl should be taken with vitamins and minerals. Tyson's
MVM (Multivitamin) is highly recommended. Powder
equivalent is 1/4th level teaspoon for each capsule.

Key Benefits
 | Endothelial support for circulatory health. |
 | Promoting protein synthesis and anabolic activity for those with surgical
stress, trauma, sepsis and catabolic conditions. |
 | Immune support. |
 | Urea cycle support. |
 | Anabolic response for athletic physique. |
Metabolism
 | Conditionally essentials
- Non-essential in unstressed animals and humans.
- Becomes essential in starvation, injury, or stress.
- Increased intake following trauma has beneficial effects
by decreasing nitrogen losses and improving the rate of wound healing
- Synthesized endogenously from citrulline in the kidneys
and brain, although kidneys are the primary source of Arginine for
peripheral protein synthesis
- Arginine, Lysine, and Ornithine share the same transport
system in the intestines, kidneys and blood-brain barrier
|
 | Functions
- Urea cycle intermediate
- Effective in protecting animals from ammonia toxication
- More effective in ammonia detoxification than Ornithine
- Proteogenic
- Glycogenic
- Growth Hormone
- IV administration to adult humans in doses of 30 g in
30 min (0.5 g/kg in children) causes a marked increase in human pituitary
growth hormone secretion.
- Liver arginase activity (Arginine to Ornithine) is very
high, releasing very little Arginine into the plasma.
- Insulin
- Arginine has a strongest insulinogenic effect equal to
the infusion of all the essential amino acids.
- Wound healing
- increased thymus weight
- increased thymic lymphocyte cellularity
- increased thymocyte blastogenesis to stimuli
- increased allograft rejection
- increased peripheral blood lymphocyte blastogenesis to
stimuli
- decreased tumor size
- in humans, decreased thymus involution
- Reproduction
- involved in spermatogenesis
- clinical results with Arginine increasing fertility
range from negative to excellent
