Olimp AAKG 1250 Extreme contains pure arginine alphaketoglutarate (AAKG), that is the compound of the amino acid argininewith a glutaric acid salt, which increases the bioavailability of arginine. The comfortable powdered form makes it possible to adjust the dosage to your individual needs. The active components efficiently increase the production of nitric oxide (NO) in the organism, that way dilating blood vessels and enhancing the transport of blood and nutrients to muscles.
L-Arginine is an endogenous amino acid responsible for the right course of many processes in the human organism. It is one of the substrates necessary for the synthesis of, for example, nitric oxide, urea, ornithine, creatine, glutamate, and proline.
Enhances physical capacity – L-arginine plays an important role in the formation of nitric oxide, which helps to relax smooth muscles in blood vessels, that way increasing the lumen of blood vessels. The process, called vasodilation, is very desirable during physical activity, when muscles need to be provided with the right amount of oxygen and nutrients.
Blood can flow faster and easier through dilated blood vessels, that way reducing strain on the heart and saving energy. Tests have confirmed multiple times that the use of L-arginine efficiently increases physical capacity during training. Thanks to a better oxygen supply, the level of lactic acid in muscles decreases, that is a substance responsible for the feeling of tiredness and “burnout” in muscles.
Anabolic properties – Tests on mice have demonstrated that a diet poor in L-arginine inhibits the anabolic activity of androgens and growth hormone. Tests on people, on the other hand, have shown that supplementing the amino acid increases the level of growth hormone and insulin.
Growth hormone is responsible, among other things, for an increase in strength, as well as boosted synthesis of muscle proteins and collagen, which is responsible for the right structure of tendons and ligaments. As an anabolic hormone, insulin is responsible for, among other things, providing cells with nutrients. Both hormones affect muscle cells and exhibit powerful anabolic properties.
Regeneration – easy blood flow in tissues also supports regeneration processes. Free oxygen radicals formed excessively during workout reduce workout capacity. Increased blood flow, on the other hand, helps to reduce deposited metabolites and enables a faster comeback to the challenges of the training programme.
Another proven effect of L-arginine supplementation with carbohydrates are increased glycogen levels in muscles. What is more, L-arginine enhances wound healing and supports the organism’s immunity by affecting the activity of the thymus, where the cells of the immune system mature.
Health-promoting properties – Thanks to a number of mechanisms, arginine has a pleiotropic effect on the human organism, which means that its supplementation can be helpful not only for physically active people. Among the effects of the amino acid are: reducing blood pressure and enhancing the functioning of capillaries, as well as increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing blood glucose levels, which is why it is recommended for people with diabetes. Arginine also increases blood flow in the brain, that way exerting a positive effect on cognitive functions and protecting the organ.
To sum up, Olimp AAKG 1250 Extreme is a highly assimilable form of L-arginine, which supports the organism’s capacity. By stimulating NO production, it makes the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients more efficient. Moreover, it indirectly supports the process of muscle mass development and regeneration in the organism. is a highly assimilable form of L-arginine, which supports the organism’s capacity.
