WHAT IS NITRIC OXIDE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO ARGININE?

Nitric Oxide (NO), a small molecule synthesized from Arginine in the body, is the endothelial relaxing factor (EDRF). It plays an essential role in the regulation of vascular homeostasis.

In the cardiovascular system, Nitric Oxide’s important functions are for the modulation of cardiac contractility, regulation of vascular tone, and the prevention of vessel injury and Atherosclerosis. It is also an important free radical scavenger.

Studies at major universities, as well as studies funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, support the importance of Nitric Oxide, its role in the endothelial-vascular system of the body, and its relationship to Arginine supplementation.

A study Effect of L-Arginine on Plasminogen-Activator Inhibitor in Hypertensive Patients with Hypercholesterolemia in The New England Journal of Medicine, Jan. 28,1993 by Korbut, Ph.D., Bieron, M.D. and Gryglewski, M.D. discussed patients with high blood pressure and high cholesterol who were administered IV Arginine HCL. The infusion of L-Arginine was associated with a decrease in the plasma PAI and cholesterol levels as well as normalization of blood pressure in the hypertensive patients with hypercholesterolemia.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFICIAL ASPECTS OF ANTIOXIDANTS?

Antioxidants protect the body from oxidative stress, which can cause peroxidation of lipids. The oxidized LDL can lead to the development of atherosclerotic plaques.

VITAMIN E (d alpha Tocopherol)

Vitamin E has been shown in numerous studies to have important antioxidant properties, and is very important for cardio-vascular health.

Vitamin E has an effect on prostaglandins. Medical research has noted the important anti-platelet aggregation properties of Vitamin E and its influence in vascular disease. Thus, it helps to prevent blood clots and it is often used, in conjunction with aspirin, to help decrease the incidence of heart attacks and strokes.

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID

Helps to potentiate the effects of Vitamins E, C, Beta-Carotene, and Co-Q 10 as well as increasing available glutathione levels.

Ischemia-reperfusion injuries, which occur in conditions such as stroke, cardiac arrest and head trauma, result from the release of free radicals during reoxygenation of tissue that has become hypoxic. Since it’s efficacious in preventing these ischemia-reperfusion injuries, ALA may be important to patients who have had strokes, cardiac infarction, and open-heart surgery.

Alpha Lipoic Acid has antioxidant protection against LDLs, and helps prevent fatty deposits on arterial walls.

GLUTATHIONE

This amino acid has powerful antioxidant properties and protects cell walls from free radical damage. It helps regulate Citrulline in the kidneys, which increases Arginine levels. Glutathione may also play a role in maintaining levels of d alpha Tocopherol in membranes.

SELENOMETHIONINE

Methionine, an amino acid, aids in the maintenance of Glutathione pools, and combining it with selenium enhances its bioavailabilty. Methionine disorders are associated with the presence of homocysteine, which is correlated with heart attacks and strokes. Folic acid is also very important for the prevention of excessive homocysteine. B-Long or B-Complete are recommended to provide this important B vitamin, as well as the other B vitamins necessary for proper metabolism of Methionine and other amino acids.

TAURINE

An amino acid found in meat and absent in vegetarian diets, has several functions, including the regulation of the potassium-sodium-calcium-magnesium flux for proper heart muscle function. It is also an antioxidant, and potentiates vitamin E activity.

GINKGO BILOBA EXTRACT

Possesses strong antioxidative and free radical scavenging activities. It acts as a vasodilator and its effect on smooth muscles may produce hypotensive benefits.

GRAPE SEED EXTRACT

Exceptional free-radical scavenging ability, contains procyanidins, which help release more prostacyclin (a vasodilatory hormone). This also has a favorable effect on cholesterol levels.

ELDER BERRY EXTRACT AND PINE BARK EXTRACT

Other antioxidants important for a healthy circulatory system.

POTASSIUM

A mineral critical for heart cell metabolism.
