DIRECTIONS: Children 5 - 17 years, 2-4 Chewables at the end of each meal. WHAT ARE ANTIOXIDANTS? Chokeberries, Elderberries, Blueberries & Black Raspberries contain flavonoids, polyphenes & anthocyanins with a high degree of antioxidant activity to build healthy cells. Anti-Blue-Chews is a special proprietary extract complex of these berries. Health professionals generally recommend 3 - 5 servings of fruits or vegetables per day. The National Center for Health Statistics survey found that only 10% of the US adult population consumes the suggested amount, and 51% of children eat less than one fruit or vegetable serving daily. Although the USDA recommends 3,000 ORAC Units a day for adult antioxidant protection; the average adult consumes only about 1,400 ORAC Units daily CHOKEBERRIES: High in flavonoids, polyphenes and anthocyanins, as well. The extract from Chokeberries is the most potent for relaxation of coronary arteries. It helps protect coronary arteries and aids in promoting endothelial health.

RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION Replacement for endogenous deficiencies. Vitamins and minerals are compounds necessary for our bodies to function, and lack of any of these essential nutrients can lead to serious health problems, which may result in disabling or even fatal diseases. Although eating a well-balanced diet can provide most of the necessary requirements, the public's increased reliance on "fast food", plus the abundance of processed foods, contribute to poor general eating habits and increase the amount of vitamins and minerals necessary for optimum health. People rarely eat enough fruits and vegetables, as well as other required nutrients, to provide a healthy balance. This is especially common with the elderly population. Those with illness, injury and stress, as well as those on restricted diets, may not be getting sufficient nutrients from their foods alone, and they may have increased vitamin and mineral needs. Supplementation can provide the additional nutrients required for a healthy nutritional program. SOME BENEFICIAL PROPERTIES OF VITAMINS & MINERALS ARE: Vitamin A (fat soluble) and Beta-Carotene (a cartenoid which converts to A) are important for healthy skin, eyes, bones, reproduction and muccous membranes. Beta-Carotene is an antioxidant and is best taken in combination with other Carotenoids such as Lutein and Lycopene (which are in Vita-Minz-Plus). Antioxidants are molecules that help attack free radicals, which can damage healthy cells and lead to aging and degenerative diseases. Vitamins, such as C and E have important antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties, and the following additional antioxidants are included in MULTI VITA PLUS's unique formulation, for increased protection and good health.

B-Vitamins are essential for amino acid metabolism, and healthy brain, cell, and nerve function. There is no storage capacity for B-Vitamins, and excessive amounts, which are not immediately utilized, are excreted. Therefore, it is best to provide these nutrients in small amounts over an extended time. The sustained release table provides a longer acting delivery system to insure proper function of the Krebs' cycle, and provide the necessary biochemistry for healthy cell activity.WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF B-VITAMINS ? * Vitamin B-1 (Thiamin) is necessary for proper function of the nervous system, and muscles, including the heart muscle. It is involved in glucose metabolism and is essential for energy production.

WHAT ARE AMINO ACIDS?
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and are vital to understanding the Kreb Cycle. They are individual crystalline molecules that make up protein, similar to the way letters make up the alphabet. There are 20 basic amino acids that produce over 1600 substances in the body. They make up 3/4ths of the body’s solid material, and are found in muscle tissue, organs, blood and skin. Amino acids also make hormones, enzymes, and vitamins, and are essential for a healthy immune system and proper neurological functions. It is necessary to replace amino acids constantly to nourish the body, and repair and regenerate tissue. Amino acids are generally ingested in the food we eat, however, because of processed foods, inadequate diets, and food restrictive programs, proper balance is rarely achieved and supplementation is advisable. Especially during illness, trauma, surgery and stress more amino acids are required than can be obtained by food alone. In the chronically ill, they can help reverse negative nitrogen balance, and help prevent tissue wasting. AMINO HEALTH is the recommended choice to help insure optimum balance and provide basic amino acid requirements.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
- Periods of ILLNESS, INJURY AND STRESS when additional amino acids are required by the body for tissue and cell growth and repair.
- Helping to stimulate the immune system.
- Assisting in reversing negative nitrogen balance.
- Prior to and after surgical procedures.
- Providing a balanced nutritional program, especially for restricted food programs including food allergies.
- General health maintenance.

DIRECTIONS: 2-3 Capsules with fruit juice or water prior to workout or sports activity, or as needed. For bulking up, also take 2-3 capsules within 2 hours after workout with complex carbohydrates. All amino acids should be taken with vitamins and minerals. Do not take with milk.
WHY ARE AMINO ACIDS NECESSARY FOR THE ATHLETE?
- Amino acids are involved in a number of metabolic functions including protein synthesis.
- The amount of protein synthesis that takes place during and after exercise is dependent on a complete compliment of amino acids, including the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).
- Taking amino acid supplements can increase protein synthesis and the anabolic effects of exercise.
- Exercise also causes a rise in amino acid catabolism. Supplementing before and after the workout provides an additional amino acid pool to optimize the anabolic effects of the exercise.
- Growth hormone is important for the athlete, and this GH is effected by various amino acids, including Tyrosine, Ornithine and especially Arginine.
- Sufficient amounts of amino acids are necessary for producing insulin like growth factor-1(IGF-1), which along with insulin (produced in the pancreas by amino acids) increases protein synthesis.
- Amino acids, especially Alanine, Glutamine, and Glycine produce glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis providing the constant source of energy required by the athlete.
- Amino acids, Glutamine and Tyrosine are necessary for neurological health and energy. These effect concentration and the production of catecholamines, which convert tonorepinephrine, epinepherine and adrenaline.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
- Increasing athletic performance.
- Promoting muscle development.
- Enhancing stamina and endurance.
- Helping attain and maintain a positive physical athletic image.
- Improving vitality.
- For those undergoing physical therapy or with degenerative muscle disorders, to help increase protein synthesis
SOME BENEFITS OF AMINO ATHLETE AMINO ACID FORMULA ARE:
- HIGHEST QUALITY L-Crystalline singular amino acids and other ingredients used for proper utilization and metabolism.
- BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (L-LEUCINE, L-ISOLEUCINE AND L-VALlNE) are included in the proper balance. These amino acids increase protein synthesis and anabolic hormones, while decreasing the amount of protein catabolism. They may also increase energy and aid in repair and recovery, which is important to the athlete during regular physical training.
- GLUTAMINE, the most abundant amino acid found in muscle tissue, increases anabolic activity, as well as having beneficial antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. It helps support muscle hypertrophy, effects growth hormone and testosterone levels, and is important for neurological and gastro-intestinal health.
- CARNITINE (Fumarate) is an essential for the metabolism of fats, and is an energy source. It may also have a hypertrophic effect on skeletal muscle and is important for myocardial health. Fumarate (fumaric acid) aids in the citric acid cycle
- L-TRYPTOPHAN, an essential amino acid, is instrumental in helping other nutrients cross the blood brain barrier. It also helps increase serotonin production.
- ARGININE (HCL) is important for the athlete in producing GH secretion, and stimulates insulin, leading to anabolic and anticatabolic effects on skeletal muscle. It helps increase lean body mass and strength and has an important role in nitric oxide production, which is important in cardio-vascular health and in preventing hypertension.
- TAURINE is the second most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue after glutamine, and it influences the anabolic process through the control of the ionic flux and effects on osmoregulation. It has many other important roles in the body including antioxidant properties, balances and stabilizes minerals, and has a protective effect on joints.
- TYROSINE is important for proper chemical balance of the brain, and depletions have been associated with depression and memory deficiencies. It is essential for production of catecholamine neurotransmitters, producing norepinephrine leading to adrenaline production. It is the precursor for the hormone thyroxine from the thyroid gland, and growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary.
- GLYCINE is a glycogenic amino acid, and is an important constituent of collagen, increases GH, and is necessary for neurological health.
- METHIONINE has many functions in the body, including increasing protein synthesis and is essential in the formation of creatine.
- CREATINE PHOSPHATE is the major phosporylated compound in muscle tissue, and is important for increasing lean body mass, strength and stamina.
- LYSINE is an essential amino acid and it has an inhibitory effect on viruses, such as the herpes virus. Low levels can slow protein synthesis and effect muscle and connective tissue health. It is important to be in the proper balance with Arginine.
- THREONINE is generally low in vegetarian diets, and is lacking in other diets as well. Low levels may interfere with proper protein synthesis.
- HISTIDINE converts to histamine and is a powerful vessel dilator. It has a direct effect on the central nervous system.
- ASPARTIC ACID has affect on reducing toxic ammonia levels in the urea cycle, which becomes high during intense physical exertion that athletes undergo during regular training. This eliminates the fatigue caused by ammonia, allowing for increased stamina.

FTH Pure L-CITRULLINEFTH Nutraceuticals USP Pharmaceutical Pure Grade Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals & Nutritional Supplements. FTH PURE L-CITRULLINEis an Essential Component of the Urea Cycle, Helps Detoxify Ammonia, Promotes Energy, Stimulates the Immune System, and Metabolizes to Form Arginine, Which is Very Important for Nitric Oxide Production for Endothelial and Cardiovascular Support. Each Capsule of Pure L Citrulline Contains 600 mg. of the Highest Quality Citrulline Available. RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION |

WHAT IS CITRULLINE ?
Citrulline, a non-essential amino acid synthesized in the intestinal tract from Glutamine, converts to Arginine in a biochemical process involving Aspartic Acid and two necessary enzymes, Ornithine Transcarbamoylase and Argininosuccinate Synthetase. As a precursor to Arginine, It has a sparing effect on Arginine enabling an increase in Nitric Oxide production. Nitric Oxide (NO) is very important for endothelial support and cardiovascular health. Citrulline increases energy and stimulates the immune system, as well.
CITRULLINE AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
Citrulline is a precursor to Arginine, which has been shown to increase Nitric Oxide. Since up to 80% of Arginine utilized in the liver and kidneys, is only 20% available for cardiovascular support. Supplementing with Citrulline produces a sparing effect allowing for additional Arginine production intracellularly for cardiovascular function. Nitric Oxide (NO), the endothelial relaxing factor (EDRF), is a small molecule made from Arginine. It plays an essential role in the regulation of vascular homeostasis, modulates cardiac contractility, regulates vascular tone, and helps in preventing vessel injury and Atherosclerosis. Oxidative stress (free radical damage) creates injury to endothelial cells. Citrulline converts to Arginine in the vascular cells, and thus increases Nitric Oxide production, which can help to restore endothelial cell function. The role of Nitric Oxide and Arginine supplementation, as well as the role of Citrulline in endothelial function has been well-documented in medical studies. Dr. S. Gross (Cornell U. Med. College) in his publication in the J. Biol. Chem., 1997 suggest the ratio of 3 Arginine to 1 Citrulline for Nitric Oxide production.
***Those with active Herpes or similar viruses who need cardiovascular support should reverse the Citrulline/Arginine ratio to 3 Citrulline to 1 Arginine, since Arginine can stimulate the Herpes. This ratio can help increase Arginine intracellularly. Lysine supplementation may also be advisable in some cases.
UREA CYCLE FUNCTION
The Urea Cycle functions to remove toxic ammonia by converting it to Urea (primarily in the liver). Ammonia is a highly toxic substance synthesized from protein and amino acid catabolism, and is also formed in the intestinal tract. It is extremely high in liver disease and contributes significantly to hepatic failure. It is also highly elevated in 6 Urea cycle disorder of enzyme deficiencies (OTC, CPS-Carbamoyl Deficiency, ALD-Arginosuccinic Aciduria, AG-Arginase, ASD-Citrullinemia and NAGS-N-Acetylglutamate Synthestase) which are genetic biochemical abnormalities that can be fatal. Athletes also tend to have somewhat elevated ammonia levels.
ORNITHINE TRANSCARBAMOYLASE (OTC) DEFICIENCY
This is a serious genetic Urea cycle disorder effecting an estimated 1 in 20,000 births. Ornithine Transcarbamoylase is the second enzyme in the Urea cycle and is necessary to produce Citrulline. A deficiency of this enzyme causes a lack of Citrulline, thus the Urea cycle can't function properly and the result is hyperammonemia. It has been linked to SIDS deaths in newborns, and Reye's syndrome in children, since it is often undiagnosed. Symptoms of the neonatal onset disorder may appear in the first 24 hours of life with vomiting and lethargy, followed by neonatal seizures and coma. This disorder often presents in males in the neonatal period, although partial enzyme deficiencies also affect both males and females in childhood and adulthood. This late onset form of the disorder may present in childhood with recurrent symptoms including lethargy, migraine-like headaches, persistent vomiting, dehydration, hyperactivity, bouts of screaming, acute taxia, retardation and coma. There are cases of female carriers of this disorder developing symptoms as adults as well. Left untreated, it is 100% fatal, and there is no know cure. Limiting dietary protein, special formulas and Citrulline supplementation are advised to increase Urea cycle function and reduce ammonia.
TRYPTOPHAN-PLUS
|
 |
DIRECTIONS: As a sleep aid, take 1-2 capsules 30 minutes before bedtime, during the night if required, or as needed. If Serotonin deficiencies are noted in depression - and for anxiety and mood enhancement, take 1- 2 capsules 30 minutes before dinner and 1-2 capsules 30 minutes before bedtime, If low Catecholamines are also involved, also take 2 FTH
L-Tyrosine 30 minutes prior to breakfast & 2 mid-morning (or 30 minutes prior to lunch).
• CAUTION: Those taking drugs classified as SSRI or MAO inhibitors should not take Tryptophan supplementation unless consulting with their physician.
RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION RELATING TO NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND DEFICIENCIES PERTAINING TO:
• Increasing Serotonin production - Low Serotonin levels and low Tryptophan levels have been associated with depression.
• Sleep deprivation. Supplementation naturally enhances relaxation and sleep.
• Providing necessary co-factors for converting Tryptophan to Serotonin.
• Increases in Serotonin have also been helpful in those on weight reduction regimens and Tryptophan also has an effect on pain tolerance,
• Serotonin deficiencies, which have also been noted in chemical addictions.
WHAT IS TRYPTOPHAN?
Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is the precursor to Serotonin, which is a necessary neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting nerve impulses in the brain, and inducing sleep and tranquility. Serotonin deficiencies, which are related to Tryptophan deficiencies, are well document in cases of depression and insomnia, as well as chemical addictions. Low levels of Tryptophan have also been noted with PMS, substance abuse, schizophrenia, attention deficit disorders and autism. The dietary sources of Tryptophan are cottage cheese, milk, brown rice, peanuts, meat, turkey and soy products, although supplementation is an excellent, measurable source for increasing Tryptophan levels. It is essential for biochemical balance of the brain, and is very helpful for those with sleep deprivation, anxiety and mood enhancement due to low Serotonin levels. Tryptophan supplementation has also been effective in appetite control, increasing pain tolerance and assisting those with jet lag. In 1989, contaminated Tryptophan (from an inferior source no longer in business, and purchases by other companies) was responsible for a disorder known as EMS. FTH NUTRACEUTICALS supplies only the highest quality Tryptophan (with no identifiable contaminates) in Tryptophan-Plus, which is now available for professional use.
PYRIDOXAL- 5'-PHOSPHATE
Pyridoxal- 5'-Phophate (the enzymatic - active form of Vitamin B-6) is essential for Tryptophan metabolism and conversion to Serotonin. Most B-6 supplements are Pyridoxine, which must be converted in the liver to Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate for it to be properly utilized. Many individuals do not convert sufficient amounts of this important B vitamin for proper metabolism and functions, which can result in a B-6 deficiency and lead to a biochemical imbalance. The result of this deficiency causes low Tryptophan and Serotonin levels, affecting mood levels and possibly causing insomnia. The co-enzymatic form of B-6 is also essential for the metabolism of Tyrosine, a precursor to Catecholamine production, further affecting mood. Insufficient Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate may be responsible for depression, anxiety, insomnia and other psychological problems, and may actually precipitate mania and psychotic behavior. Tryptophan-Plus contains P-5'-P to insure the proper conversion of Tryptophan to Serotonin for optimal results.
RIBOFLAVIN-S'-PHOSPHATE
Riboflavin-5'-Phosphate (the enzymatic - active form of B-2) is essential for many bodily functions, including ATP production, energy & carbohydrate metabolism, and maintenance of the nervous system. It helps convert Pyridoxine to the active Pyridoxal- 5'-Phosphate. A deficiency of Riboflavin may cause deficiency of P-5'-P, resulting in neurotransmitter imbalances and deficiencies, including preventing the conversion of Tryptophan to Serotonin. Inactive Riboflavin (B-2) has to be converted in the liver to Flavin Mononucleotide (FMN) & Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD), and Flavokinase production is also necessary in order for B-2 to be activated and properly utilized. Sufficient amounts do not convert in many individuals, and a deficiency of active Riboflavin can cause significant behavioral problems including psychopathy, depression, hysteria, and hypomania. In addition, Psychopharmalogical drugs, including chlorpromazine, imipramine, and amiltriptyline actually inhibit the formation of FMN & FAD. Riboflavin-5'-Phosphate is the active form of Riboflavin and it is included in Tryptophan-Plus or increased effectiveness.
TRYPTOPHAN-PLUS AND SLEEP
Sleep deprivation is a serious concern for many, and low Serotonin levels are often the cause of this problem. Tryptophan (with the necessary co-factors) converts to Serotonin helping to induce relaxation and naturally enhancing sleep. 1-2 capsules 30 minutes prior to bedtime are recommended, and it may also be taken during the night if necessary. In extreme cases of insomnia, Tryptophan-Plus maybe taken early evening, as well as bedtime. Complex carbohydrates are important for proper utilization and may increase effectiveness.
TYPTOPHAN-PLUS AND MOOD ENHANCEMENT
Tryptophan (plus co-factors) naturally converts to Serotonin and it has been well documented that low Serotonin levels and low Tryptophan levels have been associated with depression. If depression also involves Catecholamine biochemistry, then taking Tryptophan-Plus in a regimen along with FTH L-Tyrosine is recommended. (L-Tyrosine should be taken prior to breakfast & mid morning).
*Other uses for Tryptophan-Plus include pain tolerance, appetite control, chemical addiction and jet lag.

These co-enzymatic B vitamins are essential for proper amino acid metabolism, neurological health, and many other biochemical functions. |
 |
DIRECTIONS: Take 1-2 tablets twice daily (b.i.d.), 45 -60 minutes prior to meals or at bedtime (on an empty stomach) or as needed. FTH NUTRACEUTICALS THREE PHOS-B contains the active co-enzymatic forms of B-1, B-2, and B-6 for maximum utilization of these vitamins. This enteric preparation will dissolve in the intestinal tract, where it can be best absorbed.
PYRIDOXAL-5-PHOSPHATE (P-5’-P-Active, Co-enzyme B-6) is the active, co-enzymatic form of B-6. Most B-6 supplements are pyridoxine, which must be converted in the liver to Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate for it to be properly utilized. Many individuals do not convert sufficient amounts of this important B vitamin for proper metabolism and functions, which can result in a B-6 deficiency and many health problems. Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate is necessary for amino acid absorption and metabolism and is involved in the synthesis and catabolism of all protein. It is especially important in the metabolism of Tryptophan, Tyrosine, Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Cysteine, Cystine, and Methionine. Insufficient P-5’-P may cause abnormal metabolites such as Homocysteine (which is associated with heart attacks and strokes). Pyridoxal- 5'-Phosphate is utilized by over 60 enzymes, and it is also essential for fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Three Phos-B contains 20 mg. of Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate.
DEFICIENCIES AND SYMPTOMS
• Numbness and tingling of limbs, depression, nervousness, cracks around mouth and eyes, water retention, fatigue. Headache, nausea, acne, and inflammation of the gums are also symptoms.
• Low levels of P-5’-P have also been noted with low plasma levels of Tyrosine and Tryptophan, which correlate to deficiencies in serotonin and catecholamine neurotransmitters. These are associated with depression, anxiety, stress and sleep deprivation.
• Cigarette smoking, alcohol and many drugs, such as antibiotics and birth control pills, can cause a B-6 deficiency.
• Carpal tunnel syndrome is also associated with a B-6 deficiency.
• P-5-P deficiencies have been noted in those whose seizures, which are associated with hyperprolinemia type II. The research reported that these seizures may be preventable with long term supplementation.
• Elderly people tend to be deficient in P-5’-P.
• Pregnant women are generally deficient and supplementation may decrease morning sickness.
• Deficiency may cause in decrease of mineral absorption and utilization, including Calcium.
RIBOFLAVIN-5-PHOSPHATE (Co-enzyme form of B-2) is the active form of B-2, which is essential for ATP production and energy metabolism, maintenance of the nervous system, carbohydrate metabolism, and is involved in Glutathione synthesis. Riboflavin is also important maintaining healthy eye tissue, skin, mucous membranes and fetal growth and development. It also converts B-6 and folic acid into their coenzymatic forms. Riboflavin is found in milk, eggs, lean meat and broccoli, as well as and enriched breads and cereals. Since Riboflavin is destroyed by light, milk purchased in plastic jugs have decreased amounts of Riboflavin. Three Phos-B enteric preparation contains 3 mg. of Riboflavin- 5'Phosphate per tablet.
DEFICIENCIES AND SYMPTOMS
• Fissures around mouth, nose and ears, as well as eye irritation and photophobia.
• Older people tend to have Riboflavin deficiencies.
• Deficiencies in Riboflavin cause Glutathione deficiencies, leading to increased incidence of cataracts.
• Since Riboflavin helps convert Pyridoxine to the active Pyridoxal 5'Phosphate, a deficiency of Riboflavin may cause a deficiency of P-5’-P. This could result in amino acid and neurotransmitter imbalances and deficiencies.
OTHER BENEFITS
• May help prevent Glaucoma, and is recommended along with Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate, Thiamine, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Alpha Lipoic Acid for eye care.
• Migraines. Dr. M. Lenaerts, U. of Oklahoma has noted that those with reoccurring migraines had fewer and less severe migraine headaches when supplemented with Riboflavin.
• Athletes- Requirements for Riboflavin as well as B1 and B6 are increased due to strenuous activities.
THIAMINE-5-PHOSPHATE (Co-enzyme form of B-1) Thiamine is essential for almost every cellular reaction in the body and is necessary for proper development and growth. It is important for healthy skin and hair, as well as blood production, immune function, and metabolism of alcohol. In addition it is especially important for cardiovascular health, proper nerve function and the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which is involved in memory and other brain function. Cognitive dysfunction is often associated with a deficiency, as well as lack of appetite. Many older people are deficient in this B vitamin, as well. It is not stored in great amounts in the body and must be obtained daily from the diet or supplementation. Some of the food sources of Thiamine are: pork, organ meats, brewer's yeast, oatmeal, grains, poultry, nuts, avocado, thiamine enriched flour and cereal, and some vegetables such as spinach and cauliflower. Heat easily destroys Thiamine and a considerable amount is lost in the cooking process of the foods, including in the water of cooked vegetables. Sulfate food destroys 131 and alcohol reduces the absorption of Thiamine. Each Three Phos-B contains 2 mg. of the co-enzymatic form of Thiamine.
DEFICIENCIES AND SYMPTOMS
• Beriberi -Dry Beriberi (symptomatic of severe muscle wasting) and Wet Beriberi (in which edema is present).
• Brain and nervous systems are effected. Some symptoms are poor memory and confusion, irritability, depression and inability to concentrate with a reduced attention span.
• Tingling and numbing of the extremities, as well as painful calf muscles.
• Cardiovascular -The heart requires Thiamine and a deficiency may exhibit in symptoms such as cardiac failure, ankle swelling, fatigue and heart enlargement.
• Alcohol Related. Since alcohol reduces absorption, alcoholics and binge drinkers are prone to thiamine deficiency, resulting in mental confusion and lack of balance in walking, referred to as a staggering gate. Permanent brain damage may occur if the deficiency is not addressed. This condition is known as Wernicke Korsakoff Syndrome.
• Athletes with strenuous activities require additional Thiamine, and when supplemented have less fatigue and more energy. Physical activity also increases the requirements for B-2 and B-6.

RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION RELATING TO NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND DEFICIENCIES PERTAINING TO:
- Endothelial support for circulatory health.
- Promoting protein synthesis and anabolic activity for those with surgical stress, trauma, sepsis and catabolic conditions.
- Immune support.
- Urea cycle support.
- Anabolic response for athletic physique.
WHAT IS ARGININE?
Arginine is synthesized in the intestinal tract from Citrulline, and its major food sources are nuts, (peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts and pecans) although it is also abundant in chocolate, carob, and edible seeds. It is the precursor for Ornithine and is a vital part of the urea cycle, being involved in the detoxification and elimination of ammonia. It is also important for Nitric Oxide production, (necessary for endothelial health and vasodilation), protein synthesis, wound healing, immune function and has a secretalogical effect on hormones. Eighty percent of seminal fluid is made of Arginine, and it plays a role in the reproductive system of females as well. It is also a precursor required to synthesize polyamines, which are required for growth and function of all healthy cells. Those with Herpes and similar viruses should take additional Lysine to maintain metabolic Lysine/Arginine balance. Since it competes for absorption with Lysine, the Lysine supplements should be administered approximately 1-½ hours after Arginine supplementation.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ARGININE AND NITRIC OXIDE
- Nitric Oxide (NO), a small molecule synthesized from Arginine in the body, is the endothelial relaxing factor (EDRF). It plays an essential role in the regulation of vascular homeostasis, and modulates cardiac contractility, regulates vascular tone, and helps in preventing vessel injury. Studies at major universities support the importance of Nitric Oxide, and its role in the endothelialvascular system of the body, as well as the effects of Arginine supplementation on normalizing high blood pressure levels and its potential to lower cholesterol and LDL levels.
- Recent studies suggest that damage from hypertension, high cholesterol and other heart factors, impairs the ability of the endothelium to produce necessary Nitric Oxide. When plaque builds up, the blood supply to the endothelial cells gets blocked and also prevents the production of Nitric Oxide. These recent medical studies suggest that Arginine supplementation can begin to reverse this process by helping to restore endothelial cells that have been damaged, and increase their ability to make Nitric Oxide.
IMMUNE SYSTEM AND ARGININE
Arginine stimulates the production of polyamines, which are necessary for healthy cell function. It also appears to improve T-cell activity, and after just three days of Arginine supplementation, patients in one study were observed to have a dramatic improvement in T-cell mitogenesis with improved function of T lymphocytes.
WOUND HEALING AND TRAUMA
Studies of Arginine supplementation with postoperative patients and those with trauma have shown increased healing capacity due to improved immune function. Patients who were administered Arginine had a reduction in infections and experienced reduced hospital stays.
Arginine acts as an immune system booster.
ATHLETES
Arginine stimulates both growth hormone secretion and insulin production, and has an anabolic effect on muscle tissue. The use of anabolic steroids by many athletes may result in hypertension and hypercholesterolemia causing damage to the cardiovascular system. Arginine supplementation may create the athlete’s desired anabolic results without the negative effects on the cardiovascular system caused by these drugs. Since Arginine stimulates the production of NO (nitric oxide), supplementation may help reverse the endothelial damage for those who have been on steroidal drugs.
BENEFITS OF FTH’s PURE L-ARGININE- HCL
- FTH supplies the highest quality, pure L-Arginine-HCL (Elemental, or active Arginine).
- L-Arginine-HCL, a stable molecular form of Arginine, helps provide hydrochloric acid, which is necessary for proper digestion. This prevents stomach irritation, which is possible with the “base” (alkaline) form of Arginine found in other many other companies’ products.
