THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH? NITRIC OXIDE – A “MIRACLE MOLECULE”

After I retired from a 16-yr career in pro baseball at age 37, it seemed like the aging process started to speed up.

During my career, I was paid to stay in shape to perform on the field and it was a great way to make a living.

I was able to stay younger physically and mentally, but when I turned 40, reality set in

and the aging process became a big concern.

In 1991, at age 42, I was fortunate to attend an anti-aging seminar in Dallas. The scientists who spoke at the convention, Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw, wrote a NY Times best-seller specifically for doctors entitled, Life Extension, A Practical Scientific Approach.

At the seminar, Durk and Sandy explained how the use of certain nutrients in adequate amounts could slow up aging. One of the nutrients that they discussed was L-arginine (arginine).

I became a very satisfied customer of a specific arginine formula in 1991 and now my company ships it to customers in many states in the US.

Arginine is one of 22 standard amino acids that can be obtained from the diet.

It is found in a wide variety of foods, including dairy products, beef, chicken,

seafood, wheat germ, granola, oatmeal, peanuts, seeds, chickpeas, soybeans, etc.

Unfortunately, a “modern day” diet may not provide us with adequate amounts of it.

Arginine is an amino acid that helps the body form nitric oxide (NO), which is a gas molecule that has been referred to as a “Miracle Molecule.”

NO is essential in the body as almost everything in the body depends on it.

The arginine/NO connection can help increase blood flow and circulation, which is useful not only for the heart, but also for erectile dysfunction. In 1998, the Nobel Prize for medicine was given to three doctors for their discoveries that NO serves as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system.

In addition, many scientists endorse the use of arginine as a growth hormone releaser.

There are a whole range of other benefits that have been linked to arginine, including increased metabolism and reduction in menopause and PMT symptoms. It is also highly effective at helping wounds to heal faster, which, in cases of extreme injuries and major burns, could prove to be invaluable during recovery.

Using enough arginine as a dietary supplement is very important. However, many arginine-containing supplements in the marketplace do not offer adequate amounts of it in each serving.

Readers interested in using arginine are welcome to send me an email at customer [email protected] to discuss suggested dosages and methods for using arginine more effectively.
