What are Amino Acids?
As the building blocks of protein, Amino Acids are vital to health. Next to water, amino acids in the form of proteins make up the greatest portion of our body weight. They comprise tendons, muscles and ligaments; organs and glands; hair and nails; important bodily fluids, and are a necessary part of every cell in the body.
There are over 20 amino acids, separated into two categories essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be manufactured by your body, hence, it is essential that you obtain them from your diet. Non-essential amino acids can be manufactured by your body, however, your body must have the right combination of essential amino acids and supporting nutrients to optimize healthy protein maintenance, so supplementation may be desirable.
Natural Factors L-Arginine
Promotes wound healing
Enhances immune function
Detoxifies the body
Improves blood flow, blood viscosity, and reduces blood clot formation
Beneficial for angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and peripheral vascular insufficiency (decreased blood flow to the legs or arms)
Improves erectile function by improving blood flow to erectile tissues
Significant improvements in sperm counts and motility with arginine supplementation
In younger people L-Arginine may boost the natural output of growth hormone
L-Arginine, an amino acid, supplementation has been shown to be beneficial in a number of cardiovascular diseases including angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and peripheral vascular insufficiency (decreased blood flow to the legs or arms). Its beneficial effect in all of these disorders shares a common mechanism - increasing nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide plays a central role in regulating blood flow. By increasing nitric oxide levels, arginine supplementation improves blood flow, reduces blood clot formation, and improves blood fluidity (the blood becomes less viscous and, therefore, flows through blood vessels more easily). The degree of improvement offered by arginine supplementation in angina and other cardiovascular diseases can be quite significant as a result of improved nitric oxide levels.
L-Arginine supplementation is often, but not always, an effective measure to improve male fertility. The critical determinate appears to be the level of the sperm count. If sperm counts are less than 20 million per mL, arginine supplementation is less likely to be of benefit. In order to be effective, it appears that the dosage of L-Arginine be at least 4 g a day for three months. In perhaps the most favourable study, 74% of 178 men with low sperm counts had significant improvements in sperm counts and motility. L-Arginine therapy should be reserved for use after other nutritional measures have been tried.
