Arginine/Ornithine/Lysine
Hormones are central to human
health and vitality. Hormonal balance in the body is
essential to vibrancy, optimism and, indeed, the quality
of life. In the hormonal network, no hormone plays a more
critical role than human growth hormone. Growth hormone,
as the name suggests, is necessary for growth in the
formative years of puberty and teen years. After the human
body has attained its adult size, its levels begin to
dwindle ever so gradually. By the seventh decade of human
life, the amount of growth hormone is reduced
considerably. Decreased amounts of growth hormone lead to
a number of symptoms that can cause chronic diseases. For
example, reduced amounts of growth hormone result in a
decrease of lean body mass, an increase of the adipose
tissue, high levels of cholesterol, obesity, compromised
immune function, and could contribute to psychological
symptoms, such as depression. This indicates the
importance of growth hormone in maintenance of health.
The benefits of growth hormone are not only for the
elderly whose ability to produce it naturally reduces with
age. Growth hormone is essential for people of all age
groups, but especially for the athlete and those exercise
regularly. Stimulation of the body to produce growth
hormone naturally can, therefore, have immense health
benefits both to maintain good health but also to fend
against the aging process. Thus, induction of growth
hormone could potentially help delay the onset of
age-related frailties.
For certain, there are magic bullets to help the body
produce growth hormone. The human body, however, is
pliable enough to be primed to produce and secrete growth
hormone in requisite amounts. Even though there is no
substitute for regular exercise, which helps produce
growth hormone, Ultimate Nutrition's Arginine Ornithine
Lysine is designed to help produce growth hormone to
ensure all its health benefits. These amino acids are
known to induce growth hormone.
These amino acids function in a synchronized manner to
block the growth hormone inhibitor, somatostatin. Whereas
both arginine and lysine have been shown in clinical
studies to induce growth hormone, their effect is
potentiated in the presence of ornithine. Even though the
body can produce ornithine from dietary arginine, which
cannot be produced by the body. Clinical studies have
demonstrated that ornithine in combination with arginine
and lysine works best in younger individuals, especially
those on an active exercise regimen. This "stacking" of
amino acids has many health benefits for people in all age
groups.
The importance of growth hormone can hardly be
overemphasized. In its commitment to provide high-quality
products to its customers, Ultimate Nutrition now has this
amino acid cocktail to induce the secretion of growth
hormone naturally without the need for pharmacological
doses of recombinant growth hormone. Arginine Ornithine
Lysine is an obvious choice to promote health and
wellbeing at all stages of adult life.
