How does L-Arginine benefit you?
L-Arginine is a protein amino acid. Amino acids are essential to the body’s ability to function and heal. Amino acids are particularly important to older individuals who generally have a greater need to enhance their natural defenses. L-Arginine is produced naturally in the body. But certain injuries or medical conditions can lower the production of L-Arginine. Lower levels of L-Arginine translate into an inability for you body to work or to heal properly. Naturally, it is to your benefit to have enough L-Arginine in your body in order to feel your best.
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 obvious. You feel better because you spend less time sick. In the case that you sustain an injury, a optimally functioning immune system accelerates the ability that your body had to heal wounds. Victims of major burns or traumatic injuries can greatly benefit from a faster healing time not only so that they can get back to their everyday activities, but also because the less time a wound has to take to heal, the lower the probability is that there will be an opportunity for infection. And infection of a serious wound can be fatal.
But L-Arginine does much more than just ward off the occasional runny nose, 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 also helps in the fight against cardiovascular disease by restoring the production of nitric oxide. A higher production of nitric oxide allows for improved blood flow and improved blood flow relieves one of the major symptoms of heart disease and vessel disease.
L-Arginine stimulates the production of growth hormones, so its natural presence in the body is necessary for small children to grow into adults. It is not recommended that children take L-Arginine supplements as they generally have no need for it. Young bodies generally better equipped with these health beneficial properties that many adults begin to experience deficits of as they age. The fact that L-Arginine is something that the body already has, provides some solace to those who may be hesitant to take a supplement whose origins are less than natural.
L-Arginine’s stimulant abilities are particularly appealing to men for a variety of reasons. One reason is that a sufficient level of L-Arginine in the body, increases the body’s ability to produce lean muscle mass. Another of the benefits of L-Arginine is that it is believed to help in impotence and fertility problems in men. Although these studies are ongoing, the ability that L-Arginine has to restore production of nitric oxide and the blood flow improvements that are seen as a result of that increase in nitric oxide, provide a very reasonable explanation for a man’s ability to benefit from better penile blood flow. As poor blood flow is the number one cause of erectile dysfunction, the assumptions of L-Arginine’s sexual enhancement abilities are reasonable.
L-Arginine is an extremely beneficial supplement, but like all supplements, you should exercise caution before beginning any kind of nutritional substitutions. There are side effects and dangers for certain individuals so you should discuss with your doctor whether or not L-Arginine could work for you. There are many L-Arginine supplements on the market. You want to choose an L-Arginine supplement that considers a variety of connected health concerns in its formulation.

L-Arginine and L-Citrulline: Multiple Benefits
The scientific community, and more specifically the cardiovascular scientific community, is getting really excited about the health benefits that are being discovered by those who are choosing the dietary supplements L-Arginine and L-Citrulline. Compared to other amino acids that have been being used as dietary supplements, the use of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline is a relatively recent development. However, widespread use of this supplement has yielded a number of health benefits, some that are so profound that cardiovascular disease (the number one killer of Americans) which may have before seemed imminent in some patients, can potentially be completely reversed by the eliminations of the pre-cursor symptoms of the disease. The potential benefits of these supplements are just now being tapped into. With more years of continual amazing results and continued modification, the health improvement potential benefits are impressive and even exciting.
Increase stamina and energy levels
L-Arginine and L-Citrulline’s effects on improving the production of nitric oxide lead to better blood flow. Better blood flow means that the heart does not have to work as hard to do its job. When the heart is not stressed, we have a greater amount of energy. We also have improved stamina when nitric oxide levels are at their best because it takes less effort to tire the heart. The heart is a large determinant of what we are and are not able to do physically without pain or exhaustion. When we can keep our heart healthy we are able to do more towards improving overall health because we have the energy and the stamina needed.
Muscle mass
L-Arginine and L-Citrulline are amino acids that aid in the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide has recently gained a lot of popularity and hype as a supplement for different types of people; one of the biggest groups being bodybuilders. There are claims that L-Arginine and L-Citrulline supplements can help build muscles faster and stronger. There are many supplements with nitric oxide that are targeted specifically towards bodybuilders. As is the case with any drug or supplement, it is important to take L-Arginine and L-Citrulline in their recommended dosage levels. Too much of any supplement can be dangerous as can the neglect for the need to obtain a proper balance of excercise, diet, vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Improved immunity
Improved blood flow allows for the body’s natural defenses to do their jobs more efficiently. If the blood is better able to carry and distribute out immune system’s blood cells throughout the body, we can fight off infections before they become an annoying or even serious health issue. The increased flow of healthy blood cells can wash out the system of contaminants which translates into faster healing times as well.
Lower bad cholesterol levels
Lowering bad cholesterol levels helps improve cardiovascular health. Blockage in the arteries makes the job of the heart a lot harder. The harder the heart has to work to pump blood throughout the body the more strain the heart has to endure and the less efficient it will work. Eventually prolonged levels of cardiovascular stress can lead to a number of heart problems including heart attack. L-Arginine and L-Citrulline have been reported to not only help to lower bad cholesterol levels in their assistance of the production of nitric oxide, but they also aid in the increase of positive or good cholesterol levels.

Using L-Arginine and L-Citrulline to boost your body’s defenses
It seems like these days more than ever, people will do almost anything to avoid getting sick. When you do not feel your best it is hard to go about your normal routine, and for most of us a normal routine is a very busy routine. So what if there was something that you could do to boost your body’s natural defenses while giving you energy and increased stamina at the same time? Using L-Arginine and L-Citrulline supplements is a simple answer to the ever pressing question of how to boost your body’s immune system.
The immune system consists of organs, bone marrow, cells, antibodies and chemicals, as well as the nutrients that help nourish and generate them. The immune system wards off the things that could potentially make us sick. The stronger our immune system is, the better we are able to ward off illnesses and the better we feel. L-Citrulline and L-Arginine have the ability to 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, thus helping to prevent a variety of cardiovascular problems. L-Citrulline helps to strengthen the body’s immune system through its conversion to L-Arginine. 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. When blood is able to flow more freely through the blood vessels, you feel more energetic because your heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood throughout the body. You are also better able to fight of disease because your blood is better able to provide infection sites with healthy blood cells.
Increasing your body’s defenses does not only provide benefits against common illnesses, but by increasing your body’s defenses you can also increase your ability to ward off more traumatic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease. A more free flow of blood means that cramping due to poor blood flow as well as fatigue are improved, if not avoided. The heart then does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the rest of the body. A healthy heart allows individuals with the opportunities to lead longer and healthier lives.
Of course no dietary supplement can substitute for unhealthy lifestyle choices and you will always obtain greater benefits in boosting your body’s immune system if you take an all-around approach to bettering your health. Exercise and a sensible diet are recommended. Medical evaluations and specialized treatment for health related conditions should also be topics of discussion that take place with your physician in order to determine if supplementing with L-Arginine and L-Citrulline to boost your body’s defenses is in fact a good health choice for your individual situation. Remember that supplements are meant to play a complimentary role to a healthy lifestyle; they are not meant to be tools of self medication. If you are looking for a supplement that takes on multiple aspects of health, you are probably best off looking for a line of supplements that are meant to be used as a total care system for health. As is the case with L-Arginine and L-Citrulline, there are combinations of supplements that can work together with the chemistry of the body to yield pleasing and even surprising results.

Too many patients get invasive heart tests
(Taken from article on MSNBC.com. Original article with graphics found by clicking HERE.)
Study suggests excess angiograms, which carry stroke, heart attack risk
NEW YORK – A troublingly high number of U.S. patients who are given angiograms to check for heart disease turn out not to have a significant problem, according to the latest study to suggest Americans get an excess of medical tests.
The researchers said the findings suggest doctors must do better in determining which patients should be subjected to the cost and risks of an angiogram. The test carries a small but real risk — less than 1 percent — of causing a stroke or heart attack, and also entails radiation exposure.
“We can do better. There is no doubt in my mind,” said Dr. Ralph Brindis of the University of California, San Francisco , one of the study’s authors.
Every year in the United States, more than a million people get an angiogram, in which a thin tube is inserted in the arm or groin and threaded up to the heart to check for blocked arteries that could lead to a heart attack. Dye is injected through the tube to make blockages show up on X-rays.
‘We fear doing too little’
Angiograms are often given to patients who might be having a heart attack or have symptoms that suggest a serious blockage. They are also sometimes done on people who may have some less clear-cut symptoms, like shortness of breath, or no symptoms but some risky traits like high cholesterol and an abnormal result on another heart test. This group accounts for about 20 to 30 percent of angiogram cases.
In the study, nearly two-thirds of the patients in this second group were found to have no serious blockages.
The researchers could not establish why so few proved to have heart disease. But Dr. Harlan Krumholz, a Yale cardiologist and health-outcomes researcher unconnected to the study, said he thinks the problem arises because doctors are afraid of missing something, and also getting sued.
“We fear doing too little,” he said. “I think that we developed a culture where people feel that doing more and knowing more is always the proper course. What that does is sometimes lead us to overuse.”
Researchers said more study is needed to sort out how to better select patients for an angiogram. For now, experts suggest patients in the category studied by the researchers question their doctors about the need for the test and the risks and alternatives.
Who really needs the exam?
To decide whether someone needs an angiogram, a doctor assesses a patient’s medical status and symptoms, and usually tries a noninvasive test, such as an ultrasound of the heart or having the patient run on a treadmill. It is this gatekeeper process that needs improvement, researchers suggested in Thursday’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
They sifted through records of nearly 2 million angiograms performed at 663 U.S. hospitals between 2004 and April 2008. The data came from a registry kept by the American College of Cardiology, which sponsored the study.
The researchers focused on about 400,000 patients who raised doctors’ suspicions but had no known heart disease and weren’t getting emergency heart treatment.
In those people, the test revealed no significant artery blockages 62 percent of the time. That doesn’t mean all those tests were unnecessary, but the rate is high enough to suggest doctors could do a better job of choosing who really needs the exam, researchers said.
The researchers suggested doctors should be less willing to order an angiogram for symptom-free patients, a group that made up 30 percent of the study sample.
Beyond that, further study might help doctors better gauge heart disease risk from a patient’s symptoms and characteristics like age and history of other diseases, said lead author Dr. Manesh Patel of Duke University .
Doctors could also use more research to help them choose the right noninvasive test, which might reduce the need for angiograms, he said.
Choices now include the treadmill test, injecting a radioactive solution to trace blood flow within the heart, doing an ultrasound to watch the walls of the heart moving, and doing a specialized CT scan that has recently shown promise.
“We still haven’t figured out, in all honesty, the best way of applying these technologies,” Brindis said.
In fact, one of the study’s co-authors — Dr. Pamela Douglas of Duke — just received a $32.5 million federal grant, the largest ever for heart imaging, to compare various heart imaging tests and see which ones do the most to prevent heart attacks, deaths and hospitalization.
Experts praised Patel’s study.
Some previous reports have found similar results, but the new study is so huge “we can now feel comfortable these aren’t isolated findings, this is for real,” said Dr. Michael Lauer, director of the division of cardiovascular sciences at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
