With all of the claims out there that dietary supplements can cure everything from cancer to toe fungus, it is hard to know what to believe. Some dietary supplement products have undergone rigorous testing. Others have not. Some supplements contain ingredients of the highest possible quality. Others do not. There is no wonder that people haven’t been taking full advantage of the supplements that are worthwhile; no one knows what to believe. One thing that is for sure is that there have been a number of studies that have validated the usefulness of a collection of supplements that focus on heart health and aid the body in doing more easily what it does best.

Heart health is arguably the most important aspect of personal health that we should be concerned with. This is the case for a number of reasons. First of all, cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of Americans. Millions of people die every year from heart health related issues. Another reason why so many people are becoming concerned about their heart health is because more and more people are beginning to realize what role the heart plays in their overall sense of well-being. You may or may not know that a healthy heart allows you to benefit from a variety of healthy lifestyle advantages. When your heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood throughout the body, you feel more energetic and have more stamina to do the things that you love. The heart is arguably the most vital of all organs so finding ways to keep it healthy and at an optimum working level is definitely advantageous.

So what types of supplements are available that can help strengthen your heart health? Research has shown that the supplement L-Arginine can have dramatic benefits in the prevention of symptoms of cardiovascular disease. L-Arginine has a dual benefit. First, L-Arginine will provide immune system benefits that range from simply feeling better from day to say, to keeping the blood flow to the heart at a healthy level. L-Arginine is so efficient in the fight against illnesses because it is an amino acid. More specifically, L-Arginine restores production of nitric oxide to the body, a key element in improving blood flow. As was previously mentioned, improved blood flow means that the heart does not have to work as hard to do its job. You benefit not only from a higher energy level but you also gain the long term advantages of lowering bad levels of cholesterol and avoiding putting unnecessary strain on your heart (very possibly prolonging life and the quality thereof).

Of course the benefits of using supplements that can enhance the health of your heart are obvious, but you must also consider that having a dietary supplement that provides benefits to other aspects of your health is also going to be an important addition to your diet. It stands to reason that the best supplement combinations are the ones that address the most pressing health concerns and are specifically formulated to work with each other to enhance overall health. Proven products such as this are hard to find. Use products that include vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbal extracts to create a wellness system that can benefit you. Talk with your doctor to see if the product is right for you. You will want to make sure that you discuss any current medications that you are taking as well as information regarding whether or not you have been diagnosed or are being treated for any cardiovascular disease.

What are the qualities that cause a person to follow another? What is the one trait about a particular person that makes people listen, while others receive little attention? What could possibly be so powerful of an attribute that others will follow you even if they do not fully agree with you? And once you know what this skill is can it be duplicated? If so, how?

So what is this secret? It is a thing called “Passion”. Truthfully, it is a bigger secret than is should be as it seems not many people have it. Just exactly what is passion? As defined by the dictionary: a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire. That definition only explains half of the story. The passion I am referring to means you believe in something bigger than yourself. Being so passionate about what you believe in that your belief level will overwhelm any opposition. In other words, when your belief level is bigger than someone else’s disbelief level, they will want to follow you. Now they may not, but they will want to. And therein lies the key to its power.

As I have noted the attributes of the most successful people I have come to know, the one common and overreaching attribute they seem to have acquired is the ability to be passionate about the things they find important to themselves and the people they care about. So how do you acquire this trait? Can it be learned? Yes it can, if you are willing to commit yourself to accomplishing the needed requirements. So is it important enough to you to make a commitment to do what it takes to live with passion? Then make the commitment to do what it takes and read on.

There are really six solid steps that, if followed, are your keys to unlocking the doors of passion, and therefore success, for yourself. They are:

1.       Learn to develop a clear sense of direction.

Many people might call this your goal. However it is something more. You need to define what the ultimate results are going to give you. Who, what and where will benefit? Will it be financial independence for you and your family so you can spend more time at home? Is it time you are looking for to spend traveling or serving others? Maybe it is just the security of knowing you are the master of your destiny. Whatever the results you are looking for, write it down. Write it as if it is currently a part of your life. Write in “I am” statements instead of “I will be”. This can become your personal mission statement of sorts. Now put it someplace you can review it often so you can remember what direction you are heading for everyday. This will help you develop a clear sense of direction.

2.       Learn to love what you do.

We learn to love what we do by picking something we love to do. Now the tricky part is to know what it is you love. This will entail some effort and honest evaluation on your part, but for the most part it is usually the thing that gives us our sense of importance, our sense of being valued. Commonly this is measured by many in the amount of income they make and the degree of status they achieve. Be cautious here as you need to be honest with your evaluation of what “turns your crank” as my Dad used to say. Once you find what you love, it is easy to work hard at it because it does not always seem like work…notice I said “not always” because everything will have times and things that are not very pleasurable to do but the love of the work will keep you engaged and happy.

3.       Commit to learning all you can about it.

The glory of God is intelligence. The more intelligent you become on a subject the more power you will bring to your work. Learn everything you can about it, all the time. When I say that I mean learn from books, the internet, courses, trainings, conference calls, but most of all learn from mentors. Who are your mentors? You want those who are looking out for the greater good of others and not just their own selfish interest. Find these mentors and watch their examples. Pick out the things you find positive and emulate them. Listen to successful people in your desired project and use what they teach in your endeavor. Always be aware of learning opportunities every day. Become a lifetime student.

4.       Give others your testimonial of why it is true for you and tell them often.

This is important as it is the blood of the passion process. You must develop your own story but you can borrow another person’s story or testimonial while you are building yours. Start telling your story as to why you believe what you believe. Tell it often. The more you tell it the better you will get at it. The more you tell it the stronger your belief will become.  A word of caution, make sure you have based this belief on something true for you or you could end up having some real tragic ethic problems down the road.

5.       Never allow failure as an option.

I love the Winston Churchill quote “Never ever, ever give up”. It is true, the only failure you have is when you decide to quit. Now that does not mean you will not fail. Every successful person I know embraces the failing process. Failing is feedback. Use it as such. Do not let it define who you are. I know some experiences can cause us to feel hopeless and faithless. But you must make the decision to NOT let those experiences define you. You must NOT. You are more, much more; getting back up and starting again is proof that you are. I had the owner of the major accounting firm I use tell me once that he liked me coming to his office. I asked him why. What he said was one of the proudest moments of my life. He said “I like being around people who will pick themselves up after getting knocked down.” He continued “I know a lot of business people but the ones I enjoy the most and respect the most, usually the ones that have the longest sustained success, are those like you.” Wow, I was just blown away. I am grateful to him as that reaffirmed my belief about this amazing practice of not letting failure be an option.

6.       Be an example, at all times and in all places.

Gandhi is one of my famous modern day heroes. He lived with power because he lived by example. He lived for a cause greater than himself. He lived it every day and everywhere. That does not mean he did not make any mistakes, as he readily admitted he did. But he strived earnestly to be all he could, all the time. We too must do the same. Forget and forgive your past experiences and mistakes. Move forward today to be the example others need. Be the example you need. Commit today to do all you can everywhere and at all times…and live each day as a new day where you can begin with a fresh start.

Remember you can be passionate full time but work your business part time. Passion is a state of mind and a level of belief and focus. It does not mean that you are obnoxious about what you are doing to the point of trying to manipulate others to your point of view. Quite the opposite actually, it means you have so much passion about what you believe that it matters not if others choose not to believe in your cause, it is true for you and that is what matters most. That is passion, when your belief level is greater than somebody else’s disbelief level.

May you live with passion and let yourself be the beacon for others to follow. And you can rest assured, they will follow.

The goal in taking any supplement is to find the dosage amount and frequency of taking that supplement that provides your body with the greatest sustained benefit. Naturally, before deciding on the dosage that you will take of any supplement, you should first do some research to determine what the safe range or recommended dose information for that supplement is. You really can have too much of a good thing when it comes to dietary supplements. If for any reason you are unsure of your ability to handle the recommended dosage amounts, consult with your doctor. If you are on any medication or are receiving treatment for cancer or any other disease, you should not begin a dietary supplement routine until you have discussed your options with your doctor.

As you begin setting your L-Arginine dosage goal, you should be taking your own body’s needs into consideration. But something that you should also keep in mind with an L-Arginine supplement is how much of the supplement is absorbed by the various organs of the body before it has a chance to reach all off the vessels. In the case of L-Arginine this point is specifically important as there are many body types that will absorb the supplement by more than half as it passes through the intestines and liver. In fact, a large part of the supplement ends up being excreted from the body in the form of waste. This is why when planning dosage amounts, it is important to take absorption into consideration. If you do not take a higher dose of L-Arginine, it may not be enough to do you any good as a very low does will simply be swept out of the body before it has a chance to provide any kind of benefit. Your dosage should be enough for the L-Arginine to eventually enter into the cells where it can be converted into nitric oxide thereby providing the heart health benefits.

Another thing that you should take into consideration is the amount of L-Arginine you consume through your diet. Most individuals will naturally consume between 1-2 grams of L-Arginine in a given day (closer to the 2 gram mark if you eat a lot of red meat). This needs to be taken into consideration as the total amount of L-Arginine consumption is best limited to 9 grams a day, however some recent uses show 20 grams of quality Arginine have produced good results. Many experts take this every day consumption of L-Arginine into consideration when recommending dosage levels for L-Arginine and recommend that 6 grams be supplemented in order for the patient to stay within a healthy range. Experts also suggest that a minimum of 4 grams of L-Arginine be supplemented in order to increase nitric oxide production after the body’s natural absorption process. If you consume a lot of red meat, 4 grams a day may be more than enough, if you do not, then 4 grams of L-Arginine might not be enough. These examples provide the reasoning behind why it is best for individuals to set their own dosage goals. No two people are alike and therefore no two digestive systems or chemical make-ups are alike and differing supplement levels make perfect sense.

Another interesting factor to take into consideration as you are planning how to incorporate your supplement into your everyday life is when during the day the supplement will do you the most good. L-Arginine is a supplement that has the most beneficial effect when it is taken right before bed. This is because the body produces fewer nitric oxide cells when it is not moving (a.k.a. while you are sleeping). This is why most people experience heart attacks at night o tint he early morning hours. The L-Arginine can be working to provide your body with the nitric oxide that it needs during the time when it needs it most. For those who wish to supplement their dosage twice a day; half of the grams recommended should be taken at night and the other half can be taken in the morning.

Advantages

If you are concerned about your cardiovascular health you could be a great candidate for an L-Arginine supplement. L-Arginine works directly to relax blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure. L-Arginine is able to relax the blood vessels by aiding in the production of higher levels of nitric oxide. L-Arginine also helps in the fight against cardiovascular disease through its restorative ability when it comes to the production of nitric oxide. The uses of L-Arginine supplements by those suffering from symptoms of cardiovascular disease are commonly able to see a decrease in the discomfort that they feel because of their condition.

L-Arginine is an amino acid that aids in the body’s ability to fight off diseases by improving the function of the immune system. The benefits of having an immune system that is working at an optimum level are clear. In the case that you sustain an injury, an optimally functioning immune system accelerates the ability that your body had to heal wounds. Studies have shown that L-Arginine can actually play a role in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. L-Arginine has the ability to reduce blood pressure by lowering the LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) level in the body.

L-Arginine stimulates the production of growth hormones, so its natural presence in the body is necessary for small children to grow into adults. This natural presence of L-Arginine in the body also puts to ease the minds of many individuals who are hesitant when it comes to taking a synthetic or less natural nutritional supplement. L-Arginine supplements are not performing any function in the body that is un-natural, they are simply filling in where natural production is lacking.

L-Arginine provides specific advantages to men who are good candidates for supplementation. The connections between heart health and sexual performance are simple. Poor heart health means that the heart has to work harder to pump blood throughout the body and this includes blood flow to the penis. Poor penile blood flow is the most common cause of erectile dysfunction. L-Arginine is beneficial because it aids in the production of nitric oxide which in turn improves blood flow.

Disadvantages and warnings

The main disadvantages of L-Arginine are related to the individual health of those who are considering L-Arginine as a supplement. L-Arginine does provide heart health benefits. It is believed that L-Arginine has the ability to activate an enzyme in the liver that might break down other medications. If you have heart disease, chances are that you are on a medication that is aiding in your treatment and to have the effectiveness of that medication compromised could have consequences. However with recent patient experience cited by other experts like Dr. Joe Prendergast (a leading expert in this field) there does not appear to be any medications compromised by proper L-Arginine formulation and supplementation.

Possibly the worst supplement (or over the counter substance) that you could take if you have a cardiovascular disease or have been on an L-Arginine supplement is the supplement Ephedra. Ephedra contains large amounts of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine which significantly increase blood pressure. Add L-Arginine to this cocktail and for those who have heart disease, these drugs can have the negative side effects of rapid heartbeat, nervousness, headache, insomnia, and even heart attack and subsequent death.

Other potentially dangerous drug and L-Arginine supplement combinations include St. John’s wart and some report the drug Coumadin (although recent studies indicate there are no reasons for concern with Coumadin). For more specific dangers pertaining to the use of L-Arginine contact your doctor and be sure to review your medical history with him.

There is relatively little extensively written on L-Citrulline. As a supplement, L-Citrulline is usually described in the context of the supplement that it compliments, L-Arginine. As a supplement the role of L-Citrulline is relatively simple. L-Citrulline is meant to be converted into L-Arginine by the body. The addition of L-Citrulline allows for there to be a greater amount of unabsorbed L-Arginine once this amino acid passes through the digestive system. L-Citrulline and L-Arginine work together to create synergy. If you are planning on using an L-Citrulline supplement in your diet, you should also be taking an L-Arginine supplement in order to obtain the desired results.

The recommended daily supplemental dose of L-Citrulline is 200-1000 mg once a day before bed (at the same time of the day when you ought to be taking your L-Arginine supplement). L-Citrulline supplements may be difficult to find on their own as they are most likely going to be combined with L-Arginine or included as a part of a collection of supplements meant to do a number of specific things. This is why the dosage amount can vary so greatly. The lowest recommended daily dose is the 200 mg while the most that you will want to take in a 24 hour period should not exceed 1000 mg. You will need to keep this in mind especially if thus supplement is combined with other supplements that are taken in high doses or more than once throughout the day.

As is the case with just about anything in this world, you can find L-Citrulline from several sources in the internet or through companies that offer supplements as part of powder or juice lines. Remember that as you are looking over dosage information and comparing products that you need to have the synergy between L-Citrulline and L-Arginine in order to receive the fullest benefits of nitric oxide production. Taking dosages of L-Citrulline that are too low or absent of L-Arginine will not allow you to take full advantage of the heart health, improved immunity or increased energy results that you are looking for. A dosage that is too low will simply be absorbed in the intestinal tract before it can reach the cells in the remainder of the body.

As with any medication or supplement, it is always a best practice to have a discussion with your doctor before supplementing your diet. Even at the perfect dose, L-Citrulline cannot cure a disease nor can it prevent disease, your personal physician or specialist are best suited to treat these diseases and their advice should be solicited whenever you are in doubt regarding the kinds of supplements that are safe and may provide benefits to you.

There are many wonderful supplements on the market that people use to help them feel their best.  The nutritional supplements health industry is booming as more and more individuals realize the advantages that are to be had with the use of dietary supplements including, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs.  One of the best heart healthy supplements on the market today is the ProArgi-9 Plus product and system supplements that have been scientifically proven to better the heart health of individuals looking to prevent the symptoms of heart disease in the future (for more information on the ProArgi-9 Plus and corresponding lines of products visit, www.ericglenn.com.  If you already know of the benefits that are to be had with being a customer of the Synergy Worldwide line of products and you want to share with your friends the life-changing benefits that you have experienced in using ProArgi9-Plus and other supplements, visit www.synergyteamglobal.com to learn about how you can become a member of the Synergy Worldwide team.

So we know that there are excellent products available that have yielded proven beneficial results, but there is always a warning that must be issued before any individual starts to use supplements of any kind.  Responsible dietary supplement companies will not hesitate to make it quite clear to their customers that supplements are not always an option for those who currently have heart disease.  Companies such as Synergy know, because they have done their research, that supplements should not be taken by those who are currently on medications to fight cardiovascular disease or any other condition with a required medication that might have its effectiveness reduced with the introduction of a supplement to the system. 

Of course the ProArgi-9 Plus line of products with L-Arginine as their key ingredient are not the only supplements that are not right for everyone.  If you have heart or vessel disease you should not take the antioxidant vitamin A (also known as beta-carotene).  Large doses of antioxidant vitamins (once thought to reduce heart and vessel disease) have been shown in more recent studies to actually do more harm than good to those who have been diagnosed with heart disease.  This is not to say that antioxidants are not good nor should you think that antioxidant supplements are always a bad idea.  The conclusion that most researchers can agree on is that the best way to obtain your antioxidant nutrients is to eat the foods that are good sources of vitamin A. 

Possibly the worst supplement that you could take if you have a cardiovascular disease is the supplement Ephedra.  Ephedra contains large amounts of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine (common ingredients in adult cold medicines).  Although these drugs are useful in relieving one’s cold symptoms; they have the ability to significantly increase blood pressure.  The last thing that an individual with an already compromised cardiovascular system wants is a higher elevated blood pressure.  For those who have heart disease, these drugs can have the negative side effects of rapid heartbeat, nervousness, headache, insomnia, and even heart attack and subsequent death.

The last supplement that will be mentioned here that is especially dangerous for those with heart disease to take is St. John’s wort.  This supplement activates an enzyme in the liver that breaks down other medications.  If you have heart disease, chances are that you are on a medication that is aiding in your treatment and to have the effectiveness of that medication compromised could cause serious consequences.  St. John’s wort is especially dangerous for those who are on the drug Coumadin. Be sure that you check with your doctor before beginning taking any kind of supplement.
