ARGININE
Arginine is another popular amino acid and a common ingredient in most pre-workouts. It is well known for increasing blood flow to muscles and enhancing the pump that everyone in the gym is striving for, and this ability makes it excellent for overall health as well.
More specifically, arginine is an amino acid that is converted into nitric oxide by nitric oxide synthase. This specific metabolite then results in increased blood flow to the working muscle, which gives you an increased pump and muscle fullness.
The only downside with arginine is that our body metabolizes it relatively quickly and a lot of what you digest is not fully utilized for the result we want, which is the pump. Nevertheless, in some clinical investigations, arginine supplementation has been demonstrated to increase blood flow. However, these results are not consistent, and new research is starting to suggest that other amino acids can help arginine enhance blood flow even further.
Although known for its ability to maximize the pump, arginine exerts a number of impressive health-related benefits on its user. A recent meta-study from the Journal of Advanced Research found that arginine can improve gastrointestinal health, wound healing, and even sexual function in men. Scientists describe it as a viable anti-aging supplement and lists several other benefits that come with arginine supplementation, such as improved immune function, circulation, and anti-stress capabilities.
Argi-Pump by Gains in Bulk combines arginine, ornithine, and citrulline to deliver massive muscular pumps by increasing nitric oxide levels.
