Details:
Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid synthesized by the body from Ornithine. Arginine is important for proper physical performance because it is used by the body to produce creatine. Many sports enthusiasts supplement their diets with Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide which may promote heart health by relaxing the blood vessels.
Ornithine is often combined with arginine and marketed to body builders as a muscle-building supplement. Laboratory studies have shown that ornithine increases both insulin and growth hormone levels, which are needed to build and maintain muscle during intensive physical training. Ornithine may also help combat the muscle loss that is a normal part of the aging process. As the body ages, it is less efficient at synthesizing proteins and can’t regenerate muscle tissue as quickly—strength and muscularity begin to decline. By helping to elevate growth hormone levels, ornithine may help speed the production of muscle tissue and offset the effects of aging. Although both arginine and ornithine help protect and build muscle mass, ornithine is generally thought to be twice as effective at stimulating growth hormone production as arginine.
