Embla Arginine
Cardiovascular Benefits

The scientific literature (including Nobel Prize and thousands of studies) relative to the benefits of L-Arginine derived Nitric-Oxide supplementation are one of the greatest documentations ever made for any supplement. There is simply no doubt that Arginine is a miracle molecule for cardiovascular health.

You need to understand four things about Embla Arginine as it relates to cardiovascular health.

1. Nitric-Oxide is required for optimum function of the nervous system and for cardiovascular signaling. This is Nobel Prize validated science.
2. L-Arginine is the primary source of Nitric-Oxide in the human body.
3. Embla Arginine is the safest and most beneficial L-Arginine supplement available.
4. In order to be optimally effective in promoting cardiovascular health, a dosage of approximately 5 grams of elemental L-Arginine must be taken two hours after eating and one must wait another hour before eating other foods.

Twenty years ago, the idea that a simple amino acid could change the face of medicine would have been dismissed.  The remarkable properties of L-Arginine were validated by the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine. The Nobel Prize landmark discovery of the functions of Nitric-Oxide (NO) highlighted the fact that without NO, human life would be impossible.

Nobel Prize Linking Cardiovascular Health and Nitric-Oxide

In 1998 the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to 3 American scientists; Ferid Murad, Robert Furchgott and Louis Ignarro for their discoveries concerning Nitric-Oxide (NO) as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system. These researchers, who shared a prize in excess of $900,000, are not the only winners. Arginine users are the biggest winners!

The bottom line of this Nobel Prize award is that Nitric-Oxide protects the heart, stimulates the brain, kills bacteria and regulates numerous cellular functions. Because the amino acid Arginine is responsible for the production of Nitric-Oxide in the body, the research behind the Nobel Prize has enabled everyone to have Nitric-Oxide benefits in their lives.

Here are some statements by other scientists about this discovery:

• President of American Heart Association, Dr. Valentin Fuster, said the following about Nitric-Oxide benefits, “The discovery of Nitric-Oxide and its function is one of the most important in the history of cardio-vascular medicine."
   

Dr. Jonathan S. Stamler, a Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Centre, said it this way, "It does everything, everywhere. You cannot name a major cellular response or physiological effect in which [Nitric-Oxide] is not implicated today. It's involved in complex behavioral changes in the brain, airway relaxation, beating of the heart, dilation of blood vessels, regulation of intestinal movement, function of blood cells, the immune system, even how fingers and arms move."

Dr. Harry Elwardt, N.D., Ph.D summarizes this way, “Nitric-Oxide is important to the nervous system, the immune system and the vascular system, which supplies nutrients to all parts of the body. Arginine, when combined with Oxygen forms Nitric-Oxide. Arginine is the source of all forms of Nitric-Oxide.”

“In a healthy endothelium (inner wall of a blood vessel), Nitric-Oxide (NO) will keep vessels pliable and elastic, dilate (open up) blood vessels keeping blood flowing smoothly, relax blood vessels, keep platelets and white blood cells calm and prevent them from sticking to the vessel wall, prevent oxidation, slow plaque growth, suppress atherosclerosis and melt away plaque that already exists... it can have a dramatic and positive effect on your cardiovascular health.”

 

As an example of Arginine-derived Nitric-Oxide supplementation benefit research, the pictures to the right show results from an experiment where rabbits were fed a high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks.

Half of the rabbits were fed Arginine (in their water), and half were maintained as controls. Pictures of their arteries were taken afterwards. The study concludes that “Arginine completely blocked the progression of carotid intimal plaques, reduced aortic intimal thickening, and preserved endothelium-dependent vasodilator function.” From the Institute of Clinical Pharmacology (R.H.B., S.M.B.-B., L.P., M.B., J.C.F.) and Departments of Cardiology (R.P.B., A.M.) and Pathology (R.N.), Medical School, Hannover, Germany.

Columbia University refers to L-Arginine as the "magic bullet" for the cardiovascular system. Over 10,000 L-Arginine citations were compiled by Columbia University researchers in their quest to document the clinical benefits of this simple amino acid. L-Arginine and its supporting role for cardiovascular health is now taught to medical students at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The Nobel Prize landmark discovery of the functions of Nitric-Oxide (NO) as a signaling molecule that helps cardiovascular walls relax with each heartbeat to enable arterial expansion and contraction has demonstrated irrefutably that without NO, human life would be impossible. The L-Arginine phenomena is changing standard support methodologies in heart disease, immune function, adiposity-generated diseases, genetic growth deficiencies, high blood pressure, sexual disfunction, and human aging.

As the most efficient dietary source of Nitric-Oxide, L-Arginine is an ideal supplement for everyone who cares about the health, performance and longevity.

Now With Eastern Orange Crème Flavor, Embla Arginine, There is Something That Makes L-Arginine Derived Nitric-Oxide Work Even Better:

• Embla Arginine Eastern Orange Crème Flavor

  It tastes Great!.
• It increases Nitric-Oxide production in endothelial cells
• It’s unique formulation helps avoid problems with nitric free radicals that can result from supplementing with other forms of L-Arginine.

It’s Blend of Synergistic Ingredients Help:

• Protect and repair endothelial cells, enabling higher Nitric-Oxide production rates
• Neutralize free radicals that are created simultaneously or coincident with Nitric-Oxide production

Embla Arginine (Eastern Orange Crème flavor) is the first complete and safe Arginine product available to the general public, and has the following salient features:

• 5,000 mg (5 grams of elemental) of free-base pharmaceutical grade L-Arginine per serving
• 250 mg L-Citrulline per serving to enable sustained Nitric-Oxide release
• Synergistic co-ingredients that direct Arginine safely in the production of Nitric-Oxide, while helping to prevent and neutralize free radicals that are formed as a result of Nitric-Oxide production
