L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid synthesized by the body from ornithine. It is classified as a semi-essential or conditionally essential amino acid. This means that under normal circumstances the body can synthesize sufficient L-arginine to meet physiological demands. There are, however, conditions where the body cannot. L-arginine is essential for young children and for those with certain rare genetic disorders in which synthesis of the amino acid is impaired. Some stress conditions that put an increased demand on the body for the synthesis of L-arginine include trauma, sepsis, burns and intensive exercises.
L-arginine plays a number of other roles in the body. L-Arginine is the precursor in the formation of nitric oxide, creatine, polyamines, agmatin (a possible neurotransmitter in the brain) and the arginine-containing tetrapeptide tuftsin, believed to be an immunomodulator.
L-Arginine, through its availability and metabolization of nitric oxide (a gas that's responsible for transmitting important signals and regulating cellular functions in the body), has many beneficial effects. Nitric-oxid is our primary vasodilatator, it increases blood flow, muscle pump and vascularity. It regulates the blood pressure including improving blood flow, dilates and engorges the blood vessels in the penis and clitoris, facilitating erections in males and genital responsiveness in females. L-Arginine Helps achieve maximum sexual performance and increase sexual function. Males, whose seminal fluids contain up to 80% of this protein building block, especially need l-arginine for a deficiency could lead to infertility. As people age the production of L-Arginine decreases and many experts believe this is responsible for many degenerative processes related to aging, thus it plays an important role in maintaining health (including sexual health). L-Arginine helps long term memory and olfactory sensations.
L-arginine, when administered in high doses, inhibits GHIH (growth hormon inhibiting hormon) and stimulates pituitary release of growth hormone, prolactin.
L-arginine helps the detoxification of ammonia formed during the nitrogen catabolism of amino acids via the formation of urea.
Ornithine is a byproduct of the urea-cycle. It is a non essential amino-acid, human body is capable of producing this acid.
The body metabolizes L-Ornithine from arginine, during the production of urea. The structure of arginine and L-Ornithine is similar and both help to increase the production of human growth hormone, muscle mass, and lypolisys. L-Ornithine supports cleansing of liver.
In addition, it may have many health benefits. Several hospitals and emergency clinics use L-Ornithine for treatments of certain disorders linked with blood, hormones or liver to help patients to recover faster.
Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) is a balanced molecular formula, which provides greater anabolic activity. This formula is specially designed to fulfill the needs of weightlifters and athletes. The product contains L-Ornithine bonded to molecules of Alpha-Ketoglutarate, which provides several health benefits.
OKG is involved in the Krebs-cycle help energy production. OKG increases protein synthesis and reduces protein catabolism. In addition, it also improves somatotrophin and insulin secretion and redirects glucose and amino acids towards growing muscle. OKG resists muscle damage and increases the recovery of damaged muscle. Magnesium and vitamin C increase the effect of OKG, and help muscle growth.
