L-Arginine dosage information

Posted by admin On January - 28 - 2009

When you decide that you are going to start using any kind of supplement, it is best to first determine how much of that supplement it is safe to use and how much you will need to take in order to have enough of that supplement in your system to do any good. For L-Arginine the minimum mildly effective dose is 3 grams and the highest recommended dose to be consumed in one 24 hour period is 20 grams. You can break up the number of grams that you decide to take and consume the supplement at two different times during the day. However it is recommended that the doses be equal.

Some may see 20 grams as a lot of supplement, and for some this is more than you really need to obtain the effects you are looking for. But there is a reason why this amount is suggested. The intestine and liver are actually full of an enzyme that works to break down L-Arginine. So, when you take your L-Arginine supplement and it passes through the liver and intestine, you are only left with about 40-50 percent of the L-Arginine that you started out with. It is that 40-50 percent that must be sufficient enough to reach the vessels in the rest of the body. Another reason why seemingly so much L-Arginine is suggested is because L-Arginine has several functions and is used to make a number if substances in the body (i.e. the neurotransmitter agmatine). Those who have vascular disease have yet another reason for wanting to take the higher levels of L-Arginine. People with vascular disease often times have high levels of ADMA. High levels of ADMA interfere with the production of nitric oxide (the key role of L-Arginine). These high levels can be reduced with L-Arginine but the higher dosage must be sufficient to not only lower ADMA levels, but also to provide the nitric oxide production benefits.

It is interesting to note that most people consume between 1-2 grams of L-Arginine on a daily basis through the foods that they eat. Those who consume more red meat are on the higher end of the L-Arginine consumption side. Ideally, it is best to consume as much L-Arginine as possible from the foods that you eat (eating red meat in moderation) and then supplement where you are lacking with a pill or powder form of L-Arginine. Low doses of L-Arginine (3 grams for some people or less for most others) may not have the effects that you are looking for as amounts that are too low will yield negligible change. In other words, if you are committed to taking an L-Arginine supplement, it will work best if you can take as much L-Arginine (up to 9 grams, 20 grams if it is the right type and quality) as your system can handle.

L-Arginine is interesting in that it does make a difference what time of the day you choose to take your supplement. L-Arginine should be taken just before going to bed. If you are splitting your doses then your second dose should be taken in the morning. The reason for wanting to take your L-Arginine supplement before bed is because body movement stimulates the production of nitric oxide during the day. When we are asleep, that production is much lower. It is our vascular endothelial cells that produce only minimal amounts of nitric oxide as we sleep. This is why most heart attacks occur either at night or during the early morning hours.

For some it is difficult to find the motivation to set aside the time at the end of a busy day to make sure to take your supplements. This is why a supplement system that incorporates all your needed supplements into an easy to remember system of products is such a convenient alternative.

The history of the Acai Berry

Posted by admin On January - 12 - 2009

The acai berry has been a recent fascination of the whole world and especially America, but it’s been around and been important for a lot longer than just a few years.  The very special berry has been important to many different cultures for a long time and has contributed a lot to the health of many people.  Here is a brief history of the acai berry to help you understand more about where it comes from and where it is going. 

The Acai palm tree grows in tropical areas and one of the most important places it grows is Brazil.  It has long been a super food in Brazil and other South and Central American countries.  It is a small purple berry that grows on the acai palm and is harvested directly from the tree.  It is known for its very high nutritional content and provides many health benefits for people who include it in their diets.  The tree is itself is quite tall and produces about 40-50 pounds of fruit per year.  The trees generally produce fruit twice a year. 

The acai berry has been a traditional food for the native people of Brazil for hundreds of years and has been around maybe for thousands.  The berry is also a very important character in their folklore and an important part of their legend culture too.  There was an Amazon girl named Iaca who was the daughter of the tribal chief.  The tribe started to run out of food and the chief had to declare that all the babies born would have to be killed to keep the rest of the tribe alive.  Iaca was going to have a child and her child was also to be included in the death toll.  She mourned her child for several days and when she thought she heard a baby crying and went out of the tent she found a tree sprouting and she laid down under the tree and died of grief.  The tribe found her body under the tree and the fruit of the tree satisfied the hunger that they had felt for so long and helped them regain their strength.  The decree to kill all the children was lifted and the tree was named after his daughter Iaca (Acai is Iaca spelled backwards).  This is where the tradition of the Acai tree and berries comes from. 

So eating the acai berry has become a tradition and remained one for the natives for hundreds of years.  Most people have a bowl of acai berries in the morning with their breakfast to provide nutrients and energy for the whole day. 

In the 1950’s and 60’s, doctors started to recognize the health benefits of the acai berry and started doing research to better understand what it an do for people.  More and more research has been done over the years and the acai berry has recently become very popular in the USA as a health food.  It has been recognized to be in the same league as other health foods like noni and other fruits that are very high in vitamins and other nutrients.  It really wasn’t introduced to the Western world until the 1990’s when it started to pick up speed and popularity. The berry has quickly become a very important part of the finances of the Amazon as well and there are about 30,000 people who work every day to help meet the rising demand for acai berries all over the world.  Demand has been increasing steadily and will continue to increase over then next few years and people really begin to understand the true value of the acai berry to their health and wellness.
