Thorne, Perfusia-SR, 120 capsules

Product Description: Supplement L-Arginine Gluten Free Thorne Exclusive Product Sustained-release Circulation Heart/Vessel Men's Health Supports heart health and optimal blood flow by continuously releasing the medicinal effects of L-arginine.Perfusia-, a supplement of sustained-release L-arginine SR stimulates arterial nitric oxide production. Benefits of vascular health include improving blood flow and maintaining normal blood pressure. Significant research has been conducted on the cardiovascular effects of L-arginine, the main ingredient in Perfusia-SR, for vascular health and blood flow support. One of the main roles of L-arginine is to act as a bioactive precursor for nitric oxide. The vascular endothelium (the inner lining of the arteries) produces nitric oxide from L-arginine, primarily causing vasodilation. It is important for maintaining blood vessel health, heart health, reproductive health, wound healing and protecting the body from oxidative damage. Additionally, L-arginine promotes athletic performance during training, supports muscle mass, and helps erections occur during the normal process of intimacy. Perfusia-SR is a sustained-release medication that maintains optimal levels of L-arginine when taken at the recommended dosage twice daily. L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid involved in several areas of human physiology and metabolism. L-arginine regulates the secretion of neurotransmitters and substances such as insulin, glucagon (which does the exact opposite of insulin and raises blood sugar levels), and growth hormone. However, one of the most attractive roles of L-arginine in human physiology is its role as a biological precursor of nitric oxide. The vascular endothelium (the lining of the arteries) produces nitric oxide from L-arginine, primarily causing vasodilation. These are important properties for maintaining vascular health, heart health, reproductive health, and protection against oxidative damage. Maintaining the natural, healthy function of the vascular endothelium depends on an adequate supply of L-arginine available to these cells. Without adequate L-arginine (and subsequently nitric oxide) in the vascular endothelial cells, arteries do not dilate optimally, preventing optimal blood flow to organs and limbs. A recent study demonstrated improved blood flow after taking Perfusia-SR supplements in people with suboptimal heart health. In another study, when Perfusia-SR was administered to 29 healthy volunteers for one week, significant support for a healthy cardiovascular system was observed. As these studies show, Perfusia-SR increases blood flow to the heart muscle and limbs, maintains already normal blood pressure and improves the elasticity of blood vessels. In a large double-blind clinical trial looking at reproductive health issues in men, 1.6 grams of L-arginine administered daily for six weeks improved reproductive health in men with low nitric oxide metabolism. Like most amino acids, L-arginine acts as a building block for proteins and has also been shown to support wound healing. As shown in many studies, supplementing with L-arginine increases wound healing time and tissue strength around the wound during the healing phase.
