Arginine Simplex 800 (130 Capsules)

What is L-arginine?

The name “arginine” is derived from the Latin word argentum, meaning silver. This is because this amino acid was first isolated as a silver salt. Arginine is present in nearly all proteins. It can be produced naturally by the body, but supplements of L-arginine are recommended in cases where the body’s L-arginine requirements cannot be provided by the body itself, for example in cases of illness or inadequate diet, or especially in cases of high physical exertion.

Arginine plays a role in many functions in the body. It plays a crucial role in muscle function and tissue growth; it also supports the most important components of the immune system, and has a marked effect on male fertility. In liver metabolism, it assists in the production of urea and the decomposition of ammonia. In the body, arginine quickly turns into the amino acid ornithine, and vice-versa. For this reason, it can also be replaced by ornithine in certain circumstances. Altogether, arginine’s strengthening effect on the immune system is undisputed. This has been proven in many sports medicine studies.

Nitric oxide (NO) is formed from L-arginine. NO is needed for blood vessel dilation, in order to regulate blood flow. By forming NO, L-arginine can support the regulation of sugar and blood fat levels. Studies have shown that L-arginine can also contribute to increased heart pumping capacity. In hormone metabolism, L-arginine also plays an important role: it is necessary for the release of growth hormones and insulin.

What benefits does L-arginine have for athletes?

As many studies have shown, Nitric Oxide (NO) is formed naturally and safely from the amino acid L-arginine. On the basis of this research, a new, powerful NO activator called Arginin Simplex 1200 has been developed. Arginin Simplex 1200 contains exactly the same pharmaceutical-grade free L-arginine as has been used in scientific studies.

The effect of nitric oxide (NO) was an important discovery in the field of sports nutrition. NO promotes circulation within the body, and can lead to an extreme ‘pump’ during training. This means that muscles are continuously supplied with nutrients and can grow 24 hours a day. At the same time, muscle recovery times are reduced, allowing maximum levels of performance to be reached during the next training session or competition.

But NO is capable of much more, which is why three scientists received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1998 for discovering it. (Dr. Ferid Murad, Dr. Robert F. Furchgott and Dr. Louis Ignarro)

Benefits at a glance:

- Improved muscle growth!
- Maximum ‘pump’!
- Increased energy, power and performance!
- Accelerated regeneration!
- Protects the heart and circulation!
- Improved nutrient supply to muscles!

Fields of use; sport groups; application:

- all!

Tip:

Because of improved nutrient use by muscles caused by L-arginine, a targeted supply of extra proteins and carbohydrates is recommended when Arginin Simplex is being used. Diet foods for intensive muscle exertion such as Propak, Musclin v.2.0 or Titan-v.2.0 support the effective supply of protein building blocks, carbohydrates and other nutrients which are needed for muscle growth, guaranteeing advanced muscle development.
