Since
L-arginine is both Dose-Dependent and Timing-Dependent,
the benefits derived from taking L-ArginineM2
are based on the amount taken (Dose-Dependent) and the time
it is taken (Timing-Dependent).
Therefore, there are four (4) different Protocols for achieving
dose-related and time-related benefits from L-ArginineM2.
Each of the four (4) Protocols is attained by following
a specific Regimen as follows: |
DAYTIME
• NIGHT-TIME • FAT-BURNING • ATHLETES |
|
|

Directions
for the Daytime Regimen |
Amount:
One 12.5 gram packet of L-ArginineM2 contains
5 grams (5,000 mg) of Elemental L-arginine, the therapeutic
dose required for daytime use.
Use one 12.5
gram packet of
L-ArginineM2 mixed with 4-8 ounces of water.
Do not use flavored or enhanced water. Do not
use juice. Use only plain, tap, or bottled water.
Timing: Take (1) 12.5
gram packet (mixed
in water) in-between meals.
Do not take with meals or within ½ hour of meals
or snacks. May be taken 1-3 times per day as desired or
as directed by a physician.
Contraindications: L-arginine
products may NOT be used by persons under age 23 without
express instruction from an attending physician. Pregnant
and nursing women may not use any L-arginine product. Do
not take L-arginine with L-citrulline or any other amino
acid or protein. |
|
|
|
NIGHT-TIME
Protocol
& Regimen
|
The
Night-Time Protocol is strictly for use by persons over
age 23. Do not use any L-arginine product at bedtime or
night-time in persons who are under age 23, as they are
still producing growth hormone (GH), and growth factors.
Using L-ArginineM2, or any other L-arginine product
to increase height will not work, as total height is genetically
controlled and cannot be altered.
For persons over age 23, the Night-Time Protocol

Directions
for the Night-Time Regimen |
 |
Amount:
Two 12.5 gram
packets of L-ArginineM2 contain
10 grams (10,000 mg) of Elemental L-arginine, the therapeutic
dose required for Night-Time use. 25 total grams of L-ArginineM2
contain 10 grams of pure L-arginine.
Use two (2) 12.5
gram packets of L-ArginineM2 mixed
with 8 ounces of water or any preferred amount of water.
Some people wish to use a smaller amount of water at bedtime
to avoid night-time urination. The amount of water used
is not important, as long as the 2 packets are thoroughly
mixed . Do not pre-mix L-ArginineM2 with water
and let it sit for more than 10 minutes.
Do not use flavored or enhanced water. Do not
use juice. Use only plain, tap, or bottled water.
Timing: Take 2 packets (mixed
in water) 30 minutes prior to sleep.
Example: Dinner 8 PM. Take L-ArginineM2 11 PM.
Go to sleep at 11:30 PM.
L-ArginineM2 Night-Time Regimen must be taken
on an empty stomach. You cannot eat for 2-3 hours prior
to taking the Night-Time dose, or the product will not work
(accessing the BBB and Delta sleep cycle is mandatory).
Do not take within 2-3 hours of meals or snacks or drinks
other than water. May be taken only one (1) time per day
at bedtime.
Contraindications: L-arginine
products may NOT be used by persons under age 23 without
express instruction from an attending physician. Pregnant
and nursing women may not use any L-arginine product. Do
not take L-arginine with L-citrulline or any other amino
acid or protein. |

|
|
FAT-BURNING
Protocol
& Regimen
|
The
Preferential Fat-Burning Protocol is primarily for persons
who wish to use L-ArginineM2 as an adjunct to
reducing excess adipose body fat and is appropriate for
the following claims: |
| 5. |
Aids
In Decreasing Body Fat |
| 6. |
Is An Antioxidant |
| 8. |
Is More Well Tolerated Than L-Arginine Alone |
| 9. |
Helps

| 12. |
Is An Adaptogen |
Mechanism
for Preferential Fat-Burning
When L-ArginineM2 is used as a drink prior to
and during exercise, it triggers a relative shift in substrate
utilization from carbohydrate to FAT.
The biochemical mechanism by which L-ArginineM2
preferentially triggers Adipose Tissue Fat-Burning (ATFB)
is a result of the unique combination
of Trutina Dulcem bonded to the Elemental L-arginine
molecules in a low glycemic matrix.
No other Arginine product worldwide can produce Preferential
Fat Burning.
L-ArginineM2 taken as a drink prior to and during
exercise reduces the weight of abdominal (retroperitoneal)
and epididynal adipose tissue fat tissues (45 and 25% respectively).
L-ArginineM2 increases adipose tissue fat expression
of genes aligned with glucose oxidation and fatty acid oxidation
by 120 % to 800 % via Heme Oxygenase-3, PPARC-1, NOs- 1,
and AMP-A Protein Kinase.
An ideal exercise for this mechanism is using a treadmill
@ 70% VO2max. Alternatively, fast walking or light jogging
will also trigger the appropriate VO2max. |

Directions
for the Preferential Fat-Burning Regimen |
|
Amount:
One 12.5 gram packet of L-ArginineM2
contains 5 grams (5,000 mg) of Elemental L-arginine, the
therapeutic dose required for the Fat-Burning Regimen.
Use one (1) 12.5 gram packet of L-ArginineM2
mixed with 8-12 ounces of water.
Do not use flavored or enhanced water. Do not
use juice. Use only plain, tap, or bottled water.
Timing: Take one (1) 12.5 gram
packet L-ArginineM2 and mix in 8-12 ounces of
water. You may place 1 packet in your sports bottle, add
water, and shake to dissolve. Drink the entire contents
prior to and during exercise.
Do not take with meals or within ½ hour of meals
or snacks. Do not use any sports drink within 2 hours of
using the Fat-Burning Regimen – water only.
May be taken 1-2 times per day prior to exercise.
Contraindications: L-arginine
products may NOT be used by persons under age 23 without
express instruction from an attending physician. Pregnant
and nursing women may not use any L-arginine product. Do
not take L-arginine with L-citrulline or any other amino
acid or protein. |

Serious
Results for Serious Athletes
Directions for Athletes taking L-ArginineM2 are
very precise, and must be followed to the letter in order
to obtain maximum benefits.
After two decades of working with hundreds of World-Class
athletes, our advanced L-arginine research and protocols
have been finely-tuned, and are considered the most successful
in the entire sports industry.
Reaching Human Maximum Performance in sports requires that
an athlete maximize his/ her genetic and individual physical
potential. This requires working one-on-one with:
| • |
A
skilled nutritional/biochemical expert trained in
State-of-the-Art methodologies in sports performance. |
| |
|
| • |
A
trainer that is highly skilled in sports physiology. |

GAINING
‘THE EDGE”
Without an “Edge” the athlete is doomed to mediocrity.
The “Edge” is gained by going beyond the barriers
required of normal persons, and achieving Human Maximum
Performance. All nine (9) of the parameters directly tied
to athletic ability must be addressed in order to reach
Human Maximum Performance. Trial and error do not work in
the highly competitive field of sports.
The utilization of L-ArginineM2
in a Human Maximum Sports Performance Program addresses

Performance
Hormone Levels
An athlete’s ability to perform is largely dependent
on his/her hormone levels. The most important sports performance
hormones (in males and females) are testosterone and growth
hormone.
Athletes with genetically low testosterone or growth hormone
(GH) levels will not be able to compete at a high level.
Sub-optimal levels of performance hormones result in ultimate
failure in the professional and competitive sports arena.
In humans, the primary function of performance hormones
is to provide: |
| • |
Generation
Of Natural Anabolic Hormones |
| • |
Increased
Muscle Mass |
| • |
Decreased
Adipose Tissue Body Fat |
| • |
Increased
Internal Thermogenesis |
| • |
Increased
Strength & Stamina |
| • |
Reduced
Incidence Of Injury |
| • |
Improved Healing Time |
Many
athletes turn to illegal steroids, and synthetic testosterone
and GH to increase their performance abilities. These drugs
are illegal and dangerous, and reduce lifespan. They are
also unnecessary. There are legal and safe methods for naturally
and legally increasing performance hormones in humans.
Normal humans produce very high amounts of performance hormones,
such as testosterone and GH, during ages 15-18. After age
23, production of these hormones decrease, and continue
to descend as age progresses. At age 30, the decline begins
to aff ect sports performance.
Though the brain (via the hypothalamus/pituitary axis) “turns
off ” its production of performance hormones as age
progresses (beginning at age 23), this axis can be re-instated
in a natural and legal methodology in humans.
The brain is completely able and capable of reinstating
the same performance hormones as those found in a teenager.
It requires precise dosing and timing, and the ability of
L-arginine to cross the Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB). If L-arginine
does not cross the BBB, there is no reinstating or release
of performance hormones.
Therefore, athletes cannot take L-arginine in a form that
is incapable of crossing the Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB). |

L-Lysine:
Unlike L-arginine, L-lysine does not improve whole muscle
strength or size, and is therefore a substandard amino acid
for athletes and
persons desiring to increase size and power output from muscle
tissue and
muscle mitochondria. |
Amount
For Athletes
In order to elicit any performance hormone response from
the brain, including growth hormone and testosterone, a
minimum of 10,000 mg (10 grams) of Elemental L-arginine
is required. Anabolic, anti-aging and sports performance
benefits only occurs when 10 grams of pure elemental L-arginine
is ingested in a low glycemic format with no competing proteins,
amino acids, maltodextrins, or sugars.
The appropriate dose for most athletes is 2
packets of L-ArginineM2.
10 grams of L-arginine = 2 individual packets of L-ArginineM2
2 packets of L-ArginineM2 contain 10 grams (10,000
mg) of Elemental L-arginine.
3 packets contain 15 grams (15,000 mg) of Elemental L-arginine.
2-3 packets are the therapeutic doses required for the athlete,
depending on the size of the individual.
When mixing L-ArginineM2, do not use flavored
or enhanced water. Do not use juice. Use only plain, tap,
or bottled water. Biochemically speaking, de-ionized water
is the best form of water available (not distilled or spring
water).
Selecting Appropriate Serving Size:
Athletes can decide how many servings to take depending
on personal goals and overall size. Start by taking 1 serving
the first night and then increase to 2-3 servings, if desired,
over a period of a few days.
See Contraindications for exemptions. |
Athletes
Timing:
Take L-ArginineM2 30 minutes prior to sleep on
a totally empty stomach. A totally empty stomach means nothing
taken but water 2-3 hours prior to taking L-ArginineM2.
You must take L-ArginineM2 thirty (30) minutes
prior to sleep because L-arginine must cross the Blood Brain
Barrier (BBB) during Delta Sleep.
In athletes, if you have anything in your stomach for two
hours prior taking L-ArginineM2, it is not going
to work, and will be a waste of time, money and effort.
Athletes only produce significant amounts of growth hormone
(GH) two times in a 24-hour period:
| • |
During
specific sleep cycles |
| • |
During
intense exercise (not aerobics), such as lifting
weights and resistance exercise |
Therefore, athletes can take L-ArginineM2 (at
GH doses/2+ individual packets) twice per day, while the
non-athlete should not.
Timing For 1) Sleep Cycle
Take 2-3 packets L-ArginineM2 and mix in ½
- 1 cup water. Use enough water for the powder to go into
solution. If the water is cold, it may take a minute for
solubility.
Take at bedtime (on a totally empty stomach) 30 minutes
prior to sleep. Do not pre-mix the product and let it sit
for more than 10-15 minutes.
Do not take with meals or within ½ hour of meals
or snacks. Do not use any sports drink within 2 hours of
using the Athletes Regimen – water only. Ingesting
food, amino acids, or proteins with or near this product
is not in any way harmful, it simply will negate the benefits.
Timing For 2) Intense Exercise
Athletes may take an optional 1-2 servings 30 minutes prior
to intense exercise on an empty stomach. Intense exercise
is defined as lifting weights or resistance
exercise (not aerobic exercise). If taking L-ArginineM2
30 minutes prior to sleep is problematic, the athlete may
instead utilize Timing # 2 (Intense Exercise). In general,
athletes should not eat close to bedtime, as it interferes
with the body’s natural cycles and production of anabolic
muscle building. |
Athletes
Suggestions:
If an athlete is not accustomed to taking large doses of
L-arginine, a slow-start program may be acceptable. In persons
not accustomed to taking large doses of L-arginine, soft
stools or mild diarrhea may occur. This is a normal reaction
to high-dose L-arginine. In said cases, reduce the amount
taken until normal stools return.
Start off the first night with one packet which is 5 grams
of L-arginine. For 2-3 nights just take one packet. Then
increase to 2 packets, which is 10 grams of elemental L-arginine.
Take 10 grams per night at bed time for about 3 weeks to
a month. The body should then be accustomed to large doses
of L-arginine.
Increased Doses: Directions for
male athletes electing to use more than 10 grams of L-arginine
at bedtime:
After working up to 10 grams (without
diarrhea), athletes may elect
to start taking 15 grams (3 packets) per night
at bedtime.
| • |
Stay
at 3 packets for one month. |
| • |
Compare
the results with those of the 10 gram dose. If the
athlete is getting better results at 10 grams per
night versus 15 grams per night, stay at 10 grams
per night. |
| • |
More
is not always better - If you’re not getting
better results at 15 grams go back to 10 grams. |
Female athletes should stay at
10 grams.
Contraindications: L-arginine products may
NOT be used by persons under age 23 without express instruction
from an attending physician. Pregnant and nursing women
may not use any L-arginine product. Do not take L-arginine
with L-citrulline or any other amino acid or protein. Non-athletes
should not take more than 10 grams of L-arginine at one
time. |
