Nitric Oxide Performance Boosting Hemodilator:  Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) promotes increased nitric oxide (NO) production for enhanced blood flow and better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscle. AAKG creates an anabolic environment in your body by increasing the volume of blood flowing through muscle tissue (hemodilation) which leads to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity and power output. AAKG helps amplify muscle-growth signals giving faster gains in lean mass and accelerates both fast and slow twitch muscle fiber for greater strength, improved muscle recovery, and increased endurance. The increased blood flow may also contribute to enhanced sexual performance.

In addition, L-Arginine stimulates the production of human growth hormone (HGH), a chemical produced by the body that promotes growth and plays an essential role in metabolism. HGH is popular among athletes because it's believed to play a part in building lean muscle mass and increasing strength. Used in conjunction with your exercise program, AAKG may support myodilation, the expansion of muscle tissue.

AAKG is a more bio-available form of Arginine (or L-arginine) which is a crystalline free-form amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry, including muscle metabolism, ammonia detoxification, hormone secretion and the immune system. L-arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid, because although it is normally synthesized in sufficient amounts by the body, supplementation is sometimes required. Arginine supports protein synthesis as it is involved in the transport and storage of nitrogen and is important for proper physical performance because it is used by the body to produce creatine.

L-arginine is required for the synthesis of nitric oxide, a secondary messenger involved in blood flow. Nitric oxide is a compound that helps keep blood vessels dilated to promote healthy blood flow. Preliminary evidence suggests that arginine may be useful in the treatment of medical conditions that are improved by vasodilation, such as angina, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, erectile dysfunction, heart failure, intermittent claudication/peripheral vascular disease, and vascular headache. Arginine also stimulates protein synthesis and has been studied for wound healing, bodybuilding, enhancement of sperm production (spermatogenesis), and prevention of wasting in people with critical illness. L-Arginine is beneficial for overall cardiovascular maintenance and sexual function as well as other areas that depend largely on healthy circulatory status.

L-arginine was first isolated in 1886. In 1932, L-arginine was found to be required for the generation of urea, which is necessary for the removal of toxic ammonia from the body. In 1939, L-arginine was also shown to be required for the synthesis of creatine. Creatine degrades to creatinine at a constant rate, and is cleared from the body by the kidney. Arginine is also a precursor of guanido-phosphate, phosphor-arginine and creatine, the high-energy compounds found in muscles. L-Arginine has been used extensively by bodybuilders to increase blood flow to muscle tissue and to enhance creatine storage in the body although recently Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate has become more popular. Arginine is also an important factor in muscle metabolism and works to transport, store and excrete nitrogen.

This product contains 100% Arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate in its purest form to give you continuous pumps and rock hard muscles.

Recommended Usage: As a dietary supplement take 1 scoop mixed into your favorite beverage twice daily on an empty stomach. Take first dose in the morning and second dose one hour prior to workout. If workout is in the morning then take second dose ½ hour prior to lunch. To maximize results, drink at least 64 oz of water daily while using AAKG.

For best results with AAKG: While taking AAKG, don’t let your carbohydrate intake fall below 40% of your total daily caloric intake. Don’t eat for at least 30 minutes before or after taking AAKG. Not recommended for continuous, high-level use for more than 60 days. Don’t take products that contain ephedrine while using AAKG as they may act as a vasoconstrictor reducing AAKG effects.

Warning: NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. If you are pregnant or breast feeding, consult your health care professional before using this product. People with known medical conditions and/or taking drugs should consult with a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking any dietary supplements.
