L-Arginine: Builds Muscle, Burns Fat. Precursor to Creatine.
L Arginine: An essential amino acid (meaning that the body cannot create amino acid on its own but must get it from the foods we eat).
Growth Hormone Effects: Arginine causes the secretion of growth hormone.
In fact, a 15 to 30-gram intravenous infusion of arginine is used as a standard endocrinological test to provoke the pituitary into releasing growth hormone.
A study at the University of Turin, Italy, showed that even though people in their seventies had a lower response than either children or young adults to arginine, the nutrient still boosted their blood levels of HGH to triple the average for their age group.
Arginine also helps to improve exercise performance, because it is one of the main ingredients, along with glycine, that the liver uses to make creatine.
Supplements of creatine monohydrate are very popular in the bodybuilding community because they raise the level of high-energy creatine phosphates within the muscle and nerve cells needed for high-intensity, short-duration exercises. So with Arginine, you get higher growth hormone levels and the raw material for increasing your energy.
Arginine appears to stimulate HGH by blocking the secretion of the growth-hormone inhibitor somatostatin.
It also greatly enhances the effect of growth hormone-releasing hormones when they are given together.
Positive claims for arginine include increasing fat burning and building muscle tissue probably through the stimulation of growth hormone, increasing the weight and activity of the thymus gland, boosting immunity, fighting cancer, promoting healing of burns and other wounds, protecting the liver and detoxifying harmful substances, and enhancing male fertility (almost all of which are enhanced by CH).
It also restores sexual function in impotent men.
In a 1994 study by Drs. A.W. Zorgniotti and E.E Lizza of the department of urology/surgery at New York University School of Medicine, six of fifteen men who took 2,800 milligrams of arginine a day for two weeks had renewed sexual performance, specifically improved erection, yet none of the men on the placebo did.
The researchers believe that arginine worked because it is a precursor of nitric oxide, which plays a key role in initiating and maintaining an erection.
