Arginine. Instructions for use. Price, reviews, analogues

Admission Arginine promotes organism improves work receptacles, Eliminates the effects of inflammation. in his instruction manual warns about the features of the drug and side effects.

Why the need for Arginine

The basis of human activity are proteins that are present in all tissues and cells. They consist of amino acids available in the body in the form of organic compounds, which act as building blocks of protein or free amino acids.

Arginine (instructions for use attached to each package) - a natural amino acid, is involved in all metabolic processes. Is the precursor of nitric oxide, which increase has a positive effect on the cell performance improves hormonal secretion. Nitrogen is responsible for the expansion of all vessels of the body: the brain, heart and genitals.

Effect of Arginine on the body is great:

1. It prevents the development of blood clots, stabilizes the vascular tone, thereby affecting the normalization of pressure.
2. It provides normal operation cerebrovascular delivering oxygen in its fabric.
3. It helps in prevention and in the treatment of hypertension, renal diseases, arthritis, atherosclerosis, cirrhosis of the liver.
4. It strengthens the immune system and helps in menopause.
5. Slows tumor growth.
6. Arginine, being a donor of nitric oxide, it displays the body of the end product protein breakdown, nitrogen, freeing the liver from slags.
7. Effect on muscle building, without letting the distributed body fat.
8. Activates wound healing, fractures, sprains, providing anti-inflammatory effect.
9. It relieves fatigue, increasing the level of glycogen in the body.
10. Is used to treat erectile dysfunction men, increases the quantity and quality of sperm.
11. Arginine has a psychotropic effect, releasing a hormone in the body pleasure endorphins, helps get rid of lingering depression.
12. It strengthens hair and nails, protects cells from free radicals, thus giving youth and beauty skin.

Composition Arginine

The most valuable element of the diet is protein. As a result of the processing of his body with the help of chemical reactions produced amino acids that are involved in the biochemical processes. In the body there are more than 500 amino acid residues, but only 20 most active acids found in the genetic code.

Amino acids are involved in building muscle protein, are catalysts and regulators of many metabolic processes. But they do so not by direct action, and indirectly, as part of the protein molecules: hormones, hemoglobin, enzymes.

Amino acids are involved in protein construction, conventionally divided into 2 types:

1. Interchangeable, produced by the body in sufficient quantity.
2. Essential amino acids which come through food.

L-arginine - universal acid, conditionally essential. It is produced by the human body, but in insufficient quantities, so it is necessary to receive additional food, especially human growth period, and the elderly.

In any form, the preparation is produced

The drug is sold in pharmacies as tablets, capsules or injectable solution. Tablet formulations are available for 50, 90, 180 pcs., Packed in special flasks. Capsules - 90 pcs. in a glass or plastic jar. A solution of 20 ml is packed in special flasks.

The composition of the tablets contain the active ingredient L-arginine - 500, or 700 mg. The capsules - 189 or 500 mg. The solution - 21% arginine hydrochloride.

Farmodinamika Arginine

The synthesis of arginine is able to produce only the body of a healthy person of a certain age to 36 years. Later comes the period of acid deficiency, and after 50 years of its development ceases. In childhood, arginine in the body can not produce. Deficiency of this amino acid is compensated by correcting the diet.

Arginine promotes:

• lifting the level of growth hormone, growth hormone;
• stimulation of insulin synthesis and release;
• neutralization of ammonia in the body;
• increase glycogen levels;
• formation ornithine cycle.

Pharmacokinetics Arginine

The mechanism of action of arginine is that, after absorption into the bloodstream, it goes to the liver. This period lasts no more than 30 minutes. Then it is split into a nitrogen oxide, which enters the bloodstream and is carried to other bodies. Nitrogen is important in the construction of the vital processes of the body.

The particles are not recycled arginine come back to the liver and there occurs the formation of new protein bands, the body needs. Taking the drug should be on an empty stomach or after 1.5 hours after a meal, otherwise the process of digestion is slowed down.

Application of Arginine

Arginine (instructions for use for adults are included with each bottle) is used as an additive for prevention of many diseases, in the course of metabolic therapy, for substances of compensation for people leading active Lifestyle.

4. Curd - 150 c.

Sometimes doctors arginine supplements prescribed as injections for increasing the level of growth of preterm infants or adolescence. In large doses, it is not safe for children.

adult

An adult healthy person produces arginine in sufficient quantity, but this deficit is due to the food. When illness, intensive training, the level of arginine is insufficient, leading to a deficiency of the amino acid.

Because after 35 years, the level begins to decrease, at this age should take supplements containing arginine. The amount of drug is calculated as follows: for every kilogram of need between 100 and 150 mg of acid per day, divided into several stages.

Recommended daily dose for adult humans is from 5 to 7 g With intense training, muscle building, take medication for 45-60 minutes. up activities for the implementation of its effects on blood vessels. To influence the secretion of growth hormone medication should be taken at night.

In what doses should be arginine:

Diagnosis	for receiving the dose
Chest pain (angina)	2-6 grams per day, no more than a month
When part of the treatment of cardiovascular diseases	15 grams or more per day
erectile dysfunction	5 grams per day
High pressure	From 4 to 245 grams per day, for 4 weeks
Peripheral artery disease	From 6 to 24 grams per day, no more than 8 weeks

for elderly

A person's ability to stress decreases with age, many older people lose the desire to exercise. Use of arginine promotes the release of nitric oxide from the cells, which leads to expansion of arteries and increase blood flow. Smooth muscles relax and increase their capacity for exercise.

Thus, the drug helps the body of an old man engaged in physical exercise or effort.

Arginine also helps:

• improve memory;
• the regulation of sleep;
• support of the vascular system;
• decrease symptoms of senile dementia;
