Olimp AAKG 1250 Extreme contains pure arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG), a combination of the amino acid arginine with glutaric acid salt, which increases the bioavailability of arginine. Convenient, powdered form, allows you to tailor doses to your needs. The active ingredients effectively boost the production of nitric oxide (NO) in the body, thereby dilating blood vessels and facilitating the transport of blood with nutrients to the muscles.
L-arginine is an endogenous amino acid responsible for the normal course of many processes in the human body. It is one of the substrates necessary for the synthesis of nitric oxide, creatine, ornithine, urea, proline, glutamate, among others.
Improves physical performance - L-arginine plays an important role in the formation of nitric oxide, which contributes to the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, thereby increasing the lumen of blood vessels. Vasodilatation (as this process is expertly called), is welcomed during physical activity, when oxygen and nutrients need to be delivered to our muscles.
Blood flows faster and easier through larger blood vessels, relieving stress on the heart and conserving energy. Studies have repeatedly confirmed that the use of L-arginine is effective in improving the performance of people in training. Thanks to better oxygen delivery, the level of lactic acid in the muscles, which is responsible for the feeling of fatigue and muscle burnout, is also reduced.
Anabolic properties - In studies on mice, a diet deficient in L-Arginine has been shown to impair the anabolic effects of androgens and growth hormone. In human studies, on the other hand, growth hormone and insulin have been proven to increase after supplementation with this amino acid.
Among other things, growth hormone is responsible for increased strength, as well as increased synthesis of muscle proteins and collagen, which is responsible for the normal structure of tendons and ligaments. Insulin, as an anabolic hormone, is responsible for, among other things, the delivery of nutrients to cells. Both one and the other hormone affect muscle cells and have a strong anabolic effect.
Regeneration - facilitated blood flow to the body's tissues also supports regenerative processes. The accumulation of oxygen free radicals after exercise limits training opportunities. Increased blood flow, on the other hand, allows the removal of accumulated metabolites and enables a faster return to subsequent challenges.
Increased muscle glycogen levels after L-arginine supplementation with carbohydrates have also been proven. What's more, L-arginine improves wound healing and promotes immunity by affecting the thymus gland, where immune cells mature.
Health-promoting properties - arginine, through a number of mechanisms, has a pleiotropic effect on the human body, which means that not only physically active people can benefit from its supplementation. Among other things, this amino acid reduces blood pressure and improves capillary function, in addition, it increases insulin sensitivity and reduces blood glucose levels, so it is recommended for diabetics. Arginine also increases blood flow in the brain, positively affecting cognitive function and showing neuroprotective effects.
In conclusion, Olimp AAKG 1250 Extreme is an excellently absorbed form of L-arginine, which supports the performance of the body. By stimulating NO production, it makes the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients more efficient. In addition, it indirectly supports the processes of muscle mass building and body regeneration.
