L arginine and nitric oxide production

Common Questions and Answers about L arginine and nitric oxide production

l-arginine

Avatar m tn Foods rich in antioxidants and amino acid L-arginine and L-citrulline play critical roles in the body’s production of nitric oxide. NO is very critical to our cardiovascular wellness, and L-arginine, which is enhanced by L- citrulline is an important component in stimulating our body’s production of nitric oxide.
Avatar m tn I think you diagnosed your own problem - Viagra, Cialis & Levitra all work by increasing blood flow to the penis, then you add the Nitric Oxide booster & L-Arginine, which ALSO increase blood flow, and you just overdid it. As they say, honesty's the best policy, just be upfront about it & tell your GF what happened, you're in pain, etc., and just say look, I need to take it easy for a week or 2 & I'm sure she'll understand.
Avatar f tn the green, white and red parts (blended/mashed), as it will help increase nitric oxide (nitric oxide improves blood circulation). It contains citulline and lycopene, key nutrients through which these great medicinal properties manifest.
370801 tn?1264405018 In this blend you will find the Nitric Oxide portion of this supplement, L-Arginine AKG. Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. It is a building block of protein that performs a myriad of physiological functions. It is a known precursor of the gas nitric oxide [N02]. Arginine is the most important component of any NO supplement. NO-Xplode also contains some Creatine, Caffeine and Nootropic Ingredients that help you focus on the task at hand. NO-Xplode Ingredients 1.81 Lbs.
Avatar n tn L-Arginine should lower your Blood Pressure due to slight increase in Nitric Oxide but normally it takes about 5000 mg daily. The problem is what will that do with the beta blocker? Get your doctor's advice on this.
Avatar m tn Choline triggers the production of nitric oxide (NO), which relaxes arteries in the penis and enables blood flow to do its thing. Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter which controls sexual behavior through its activity in the brain; having a higher level of AcH has been associated with more frequent sex and more intense, longer orgasms. Bonus: Eggs are high in vitamins B5 and B6, which help balance hormone levels and fight stress.
1359524 tn?1282691910 Anyway, everything you said about arginine and nitric oxide was correct. It is (supposedly) the dysregulation of nitric oxide and it's toxic byproducts that can lead to orthostatic intolerance, or at least play a role in it's development.
Avatar m tn They have increased the Ranexa 500 mg to 2 x a day and I am still having angina attacks mainly left shoulder pain. I have read several articles about L-arginine being used to increase nitric oxide and that seemed to help control spasms. I am currently on Norvasc 5mg 1xdaily, Lisinopril 5mg 1x daily, metoprolol 100 mg 2 x daily Ranexa 500 mg 2x daily, magnesium 500 mg 2 x daily, garlic 1000 mg daily, evening primrose oil 1000 mg daily, simvastatin. I also have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine.
Avatar f tn I have a question from the opposite angle.. I had been told l- arginine would be of help releasing nitric oxide in the blood to help with male erection/orgasm ..however, that arginine shouldn't be taken by those with hsv1/2 because it can provoke an outbreak. Can you debunk this ? I would love to take arginine if it can help at all !
Avatar m tn Don't waste your $$$$ and This supplement L-arginine increases nitric oxide (NO) which hampers the ability of T-cells in fighting cancer.
Avatar m tn I take pre-workout supplements (Muscle Pharm Assault) which contain L-Arginine and Beta Alinine (nitric oxide), which I read doesnt go well when taken at the same time as Viagra. In addition, I take Creatine and Whey Protein as well. I am not planning on taking them at the same time though. Could you advise if it is safe to take these on the days when I am not having Viagra. Also, how long do I need to wait before I can take them.
Avatar m tn L-arginine (L-Arg), the precursor of nitric oxide (NO), plays multiple important roles in nutrient metabolism and immune regulation. L-Arg supplement serves as a potential adjunctive therapy for severe malaria, because it improves NO bioavailability and reverses endothelial dysfunction in severe malaria patients. In this study, we investigated the effect of dietary L-Arg supplement on host immune responses during subsequent malaria infection using the Plasmodium yoelii 17XL - BALB/c mouse model.
Avatar m tn Homocysteine is a lethal inhibitor of arginase (so that particular instance of the enzyme is never going to work again but you have other instances which is why as homocysteine goes up nitric oxide production goes down) and it makes endothelium less responsive to nitric oxide and the problem gets worse as the level of homocysteine stays high for longer periods of time.
545944 tn?1227827002 t drink, taking 5 grms fish oil and 6 grms L-arginine daily+ lipitor, propranolol, hctz so lipids and BP under control (except stress tests >190/90). What can I do to make this next appontment count? Is with Head of Cardio for Regional Hospital, don't want to waste anyones time but feel like doing everythng I can and isn't enough! Think need cardiac cath with and without ergonovine... doesn't sound like any fun, any other way to diagnose spasms?
712042 tn?1254569209 Emory still feels that my body has reduced or given up making nitric oxide which allows the vessels to expand when a cardica demand is made. Not a problem with the endothelial of cardiac vessels and their receptors for nitric oxide because I really do well with the nitro. The spasms are either from the small microvessels or, as they reproduced during provocative tesing in May 2008, a spasm up into the LAD. I remain on Cardizem.
Avatar m tn This is not a herb but an amino acid and it helps increase the production of nitric oxide which helps you achieve rock hard or firmer erections. It is also called the Nature's Viagra. Foods that are rich in L-arginine include Oatmeal, Peanuts, Cashews,Walnuts, Dairy, Green Vegetables, Soybeans, Seeds and Chickpeas. 3) Fo-Ti Fo-ti is also called he shou wu, which means "black-haired Mr. He" in Chinese. This name refers to a legend of an older villager named Mr.
Avatar m tn Feeding coconut water resulted in increased plasma L-arginine content, urinary nitrite level, and nitric oxide synthase activity. These results indicate that both tender and mature coconut water has beneficial effects on serum and tissue lipid parameters in rats fed cholesterol-containing diet.
Avatar f tn ve had the same thing on my inner thighs for months.... I assumed it was from increased blood flow and vesodilation from increased nitric oxide production....
712042 tn?1254569209 Well, it is a real phenomenon which is caused by the body's metabolism of NTG and nitric oxide. What happens after prolonged exposure to nitgolycerin, the nitric oxide which is what nitroglycerin acts through gets to a certain degree depleted. This has been proven by measuring exhaled nitric oxide levels in the air that humans breathe out. At that point, the effect of NTG is attenuated.
Avatar m tn s angina is treated with medications, specifically nitroglycerin. An over the counter product is L-arginine which enhances nitric oxide (NO) synthesis so this is also helpful. Pariet is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and works by slowing or preventing the production of acid in the stomach. This drug should only be used short term as stomach acid is vital for good health. High acid is rarely the cause of reflux/GERD so in most cases an acid blocker is the incorrect treatment.
Avatar m tn Hello I had a horrible reaction to a nitric oxide supplement which caused a horrible brain condition with caused a variety of symptoms which grew worse with time (scalp numbness, headaches, altered vision, blunted emotions, blunted taste, blunted pain, inability to make my eyes water, limb jerks, muscle spasms memory loss and horrible popping sensations in my head. I have brain scans showing that I have damage to my temporal lobes in particular and other areas.
Avatar n tn As for as I know this condition is because of very low level of nitric oxide in my body. I have tested my nitric oxide level which is very low or depleted. My erections are very weak and go away quickly and I hardly get morning erections. I was considering taking either Prelox or Neo daily 40 but cannot decide really. I want to know which one out of the two is better for mild to severe ED? Thanks.
Avatar f tn and or the integrity of the endothelium (lining of the vessel), is deficit of nitric oxide production and the lack of nitric oxide has been identified as the prime mediator of endothelium dependent vasodilatation.
