Agmatine sulfate

Support for your athletic needs!

Whenever there is a revelation in the supplement industry, there is an immediate uproar of enthusiasm. This was the case with creatine, glutamine and also arginine. Welcome to the world of Agmatine Sulfate! This by-product of the amino acid L-Arginine has caused a stir and excitement in the supplement industry and with good reason!

Agmatine Sulfate has a multitude of performance benefits! If you're an exercise enthusiast, then prepare to be blown away! Agmatine sulfate can help athletes in a myriad of ways. Evidence suggests that agmatine supports numerous athletic needs, which include pre-workout preparation and post-workout recovery. This leads to more intense training sessions and shorter recovery times after a demanding and intense workout.

But that's just the beginning! The list of benefits in terms of performance is long and includes, among others:

  • Increased insulin production, which leads to a better insulin response
  • It may reduce feelings of anxiety and apprehension, resulting in reduced cortisol levels
  • It supports nitric oxide production
  • It supports the delivery of nutrients to the muscles
  • It acts as an antioxidant by providing support against free radical-induced damage
  • It supports the stimulation of the release of pituitary hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormones
  • It may help support heart, brain and vascular function
  • It promotes a healthy and positive mood

Now that we know that agmatine covers pretty much every important area, let's find out a little more about this interesting supplement. Agmatine Sulfate ((4-aminobutyl) guanidine sulfate; 1-amino-4-guanidinobutane) is a by-product of arginine that is created through the process of decarboxylation. This changes the nature of the amino acid and allows agmatine to act as a hand vapor in all lanes.

Agmatine sulphate has two key benefits for bodybuilders and gym goers! The average gym goer is primarily interested in supporting nitric oxide production. Agmatine is a nitric oxide production support system - and probably just as important as the training partner that helps perform a max attempt on the bench press - by supporting the production of optimal nitric oxide levels. The second way in which agmatine acts as a nitric oxide performer is through its action as an inhibitor of the nitric oxide synthase enzyme, which prevents the production of nitric oxide. This double whammy allows nitric oxide levels to reach maximum levels for optimal athletic performance. An increase in nitric oxide levels leads to a massive pump in the gym, better blood flow during exercise and increased nutrient intake.

As soon as the workout is over, the all-important regeneration phase begins. Here too, agmatine sulphate comes to the rescue! By supporting nitric oxide production, taking agmatine sulphate after training can promote blood circulation and lead to an increased supply of nutrients. Ideally, Agmatine Sulfate should be taken immediately after training with a supplement or meal that contains protein and carbohydrates. When nutrients can be transported to working muscle tissue faster, this results in optimal recovery and muscle growth. In addition to these obvious muscular benefits, agmatine may also support positive psychological attributes. Studies suggest that agmatine may support neuroprotective effects by providing support against excessive glutamate levels. Further research suggests more and more benefits of this amazing supplement. Only time will truly reveal all the benefits for the athlete, the gym goer and the fitness enthusiast.
