Boost Nitric Oxide to extend muscle pump, enhance muscle growth and get rock hard muscle: Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) can boost short term nitric oxide (NO) levels which creates a muscle growth environment in your body by increasing the volume of blood flowing through muscle tissue which leads to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity and power output. AAKG helps amplify muscle-growth signals giving faster gains in lean mass and accelerates both fast and slow twitch muscle fiber for greater strength, improved muscle recovery, and increased endurance. The increased blood flow may also contribute to enhanced sexual performance.

• Supports protein synthesis.
• Increases level of nitric oxide to extend muscle pump.
• Increases blood flow & nutrient delivery to muscle tissue.
• Improves circulatory health and sexual function.
• May increase levels Growth Hormone (GH).

Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is for anyone who wishes to extend their muscle pump, signal muscle growth, speed recovery, increase their strength, stamina and sexual vigor. In addition, L–Arginine stimulates the production of Growth Hormone (GH), a chemical produced by the body that promotes growth and plays an essential role in metabolism. Growth Hormone (GH) is popular among athletes because it's believed to play a part in building lean muscle mass and increasing strength. Used in conjunction with your exercise program, AAKG may support myodilation, the expansion of muscle tissue. This product contains 100% Arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate in its purest form to give you continuous pumps and rock hard muscles.

Arginine-AKG is a more bio-available form of Arginine (or L–Arginine) which is a crystalline free-form amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry, including muscle metabolism, ammonia detoxification, hormone secretion and the immune system. L–Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid, because although it is normally synthesized in sufficient amounts by the body, supplementation is sometimes required. Arginine supports protein synthesis as it is involved in the transport and storage of nitrogen and is important for proper physical performance because it is used by the body to produce creatine.

L–Arginine is required for the synthesis of nitric oxide, a secondary messenger involved in blood flow. Nitric oxide is a compound that helps keep blood vessels dilated to promote healthy blood flow. Preliminary evidence suggests that arginine may be useful in the treatment of medical conditions that are improved by vasodilation, such as angina, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart failure, intermittent claudication/peripheral vascular disease, and vascular headache. Arginine also stimulates protein synthesis and has been studied for wound healing, bodybuilding, enhancement of sperm production (spermatogenesis), and prevention of wasting in people with critical illness. L–Arginine is beneficial for overall cardiovascular maintenance and sexual function as well as other areas that depend largely on healthy circulatory status

An additional function and benefit of L-Arginine-AKG is its role as a precursor in creatine and glutamine production. Daily supplementation of L-Arginine-AKG has been shown to increase the body’s creatine and glutamine stores. This may lead to improvements in performance, strength and recovery for athletes.

L–Arginine was first isolated in 1886. In 1932, L–Arginine was found to be required for the generation of urea, which is necessary for the removal of toxic ammonia from the body. In 1939, L–Arginine was also shown to be required for the synthesis of creatine. Creatine degrades to creatinine at a constant rate, and is cleared from the body by the kidney. Arginine is also a precursor of guanido-phosphate, phosphor-arginine and creatine, the high-energy compounds found in muscles. L–Arginine has been used extensively by bodybuilders to increase blood flow to muscle tissue and to enhance creatine storage in the body although recently Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate has become more popular. Arginine is also an important factor in muscle metabolism and works to transport, store and excrete nitrogen.

Alpha-Ketoglutarate Aminos are the Preferred Choice for Building Muscle:  Amino Acid Alpha-Ketoglutarates are amino acids with an alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) molecule attached. This AKG transport molecule helps the amino acid bypass the gut and enter the muscle cell directly giving you superior absorption. Unlike L- form amino acids, AKGs are shuttled directly to the muscle cells rather than being absorbed and used by the small intestines for nucleotide synthesis. This makes AKG aminos the perfect choice if your goal is building muscle, but maybe not the best choice if you have more generalized health goals. AKG drives the amino acid into muscle cells creating a pro-muscle growth environment.

Amino acid alpha-ketoglutarates are technically amino acids derivatives. Their ergogenic effects are similar to those of their base free form amino acids, but by molecularly bonding it to AKG, its ergogenic effects become more pronounced within the muscle cell itself. The presence of the AKG molecule not only enhances the function of amino acid and overcomes its inherent limitations, but also increases its absorption rate thereby reducing the need for large doses, which may put less stress on the body. An added benefit is that AKG is a precursor to glutamine, so when the AKG is finished doing its job as a shuttle molecule it gets converted into glutamine. No waste - all benefit.

Arginine Improves Growth Hormone (GH) levels: Arginine stimulates the natural release of growth hormone and is a far safer and more cost effective alternative to growth hormone treatment such as HGH injections. Growth hormone is one of the most powerful hormones in the human body which promotes the growth of lean muscle tissue and the loss of fat. As you age, growth hormone levels drop, which is one reason you lose muscle and gain fat. In a controlled trial, when arginine and other amino acids were combined with weight training, a greater decrease in body fat was obtained after only five weeks than when the same exercise was combined with a placebo. Arginine is also needed to increase protein synthesis, which can in turn increase muscle growth. [1,2].

L–Arginine taken on an empty stomach can cause a significant release of growth hormone in many people. A dosage of between 10 and 30 grams of L–Arginine, depending upon factors such as age and body weight, is needed to have any impact on GH release. Taking arginine in capsule form is not recommended because it would take upwards of 20 capsules per serving to have a substantial impact on GH, which is why powder is the recommended delivery method. Growth hormone releasers should not be used by children until five years after they have completed their long bone growth (unless under careful medical supervision). The effectiveness of arginine for growth hormone release is age-dependent. A person in their twenties can get a very high release of growth hormone whereas a person in their fifties would get a lower response.

Growth Hormone (GH) for the athlete:  Athletes involved in intense exercise on a regular basis need Growth Hormone (GH) to increase energy, enhance lean body mass and to maintain strong bones and keep their weight under control. Availability of GH in systemic circulation also helps increase strength, burn fat, enhance libido, boost immunity and support tendons and ligaments. By inducing the secretion of GH from the pituitary, arginine and lysine stimulate muscle metabolism and, hence, provide nutritional support for the athlete.

Recommended Usage: As a dietary supplement, take 2 servings daily on an empty stomach. On workout days, take one dose 15 minutes prior to your workout, take your second dose at least 4 hours before or after your first dose. On non-workout days time your doses at least 4 hours apart. To maximize results, drink at least 32 oz of water daily.

For best results:  The effectiveness of arginine is greatly diminished if foods have been consumed that cause other amino acids or significant amounts of insulin to be present in the bloodstream along with the arginine. That is why arginine should be taken on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 3 hours after a meal. Not recommended for continuous, high-level use for more than 90 days.
