Arginine is a non-essential amino acid and is one of the most powerful tools that our body has because of its functional value in promoting Human Growth Hormone (HGH) as well as other Hormones.

Arginine aids in strengthening the immune system, improving cholesterol profiles, supporting brain function and enhancing sexuality.

For the athlete arginine is an important amino acid and is key to efficient muscle metabolism because of its role in the transport, storage and elimination of nitrogen.  After a vigorous workout the body has increased testosterone and Hgh production for a period lasting approximately two hours.  During that time frame dietary arginine and ornithine can contribute to a hormonal environment that produces increased protein synthesis and muscle growth.  To achieve greatest effectiveness as an Hgh releaser, L-Arginine should be consumed on an empty stomach at bedtime.  HGH release occurs 30 - 60 Minutes after falling asleep and also during and just following a vigorous exercise session.

Arginine is also a precursor to nitric oxide, which the body uses to keep blood vessels dilated, allowing the heart to receive adequate oxygen.  Researchers have begun to use arginine to treat people with angina and congestive heart failure.

Protein Supplements

The importance of protein supplementation is critical to any individual looking to build and maintain muscle mass. Protein has been called "the building blocks of life," and without proper protein supplementation the task of building and maintaining muscle mass is next to impossible. The biggest problem that's faced with the consumption of protein by way of whole foods is mostly convenience. I like to take my protein or meal replacement with me to the gym and mix it up after my work out to get my post work out meal. It is of vital importance to get nutrients into your blood stream as quickly as possible after your work out to optimize your size and strength gains. By using protein supplements you quickly consume and digest needed amounts of proteins to help you grow and recover from your workout.
