PITUITARY HUMAN GROWTH-ALT INGREDIENTS 

Growth Hormone 

General Uses:

GH is a protein hormone comprised of approximately 200 amino acids that are synthesized and secreted in the anterior pituitary by cells called somatotrophs.  It serves as a major controlling participant in several complex physiologic processes, including growth and metabolism.   

Anabolic Benefits:

“…GH exerts anabolic effects directly and through stimulation of IGF-I, insulin, and free fatty acids (FFA). When subjects are well nourished, the GH-induced stimulation of IGF-I and insulin is important for anabolic storage and growth of lean body mass (LBM), adipose tissue, and glycogen reserves. During fasting and other catabolic states, GH predominantly stimulates the release and oxidation of FFA, which leads to decreased glucose and protein oxidation and preservation of LBM and glycogen stores. The most prominent metabolic effect of GH is a marked increase in lipolysis and FFA levels. In the basal state, the effects of GH on protein metabolism are modest and include increased protein synthesis and decreased breakdown at the whole body level and in muscle together with decreased amino acid degradation/oxidation and decreased hepatic urea formation.”

“Skeletal muscle is the major constituent of lean body mass and a major determinant of energy expenditure both at rest and during physical activity. Growth hormone, in turn, influences muscle mass as well as energy expenditure. Growth hormone substitution in adults increases muscle mass by 5-10%, but part of the effect is attributed to rehydration rather than protein accretion. In addition, GH regulates substrate metabolism in muscle and in particular antagonizes insulin-stimulated glucose disposal. This effect is linked to increased free fatty acid (FFA) flux but the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. During fasting, GH-induced insulin resistance may be favorable by reducing the demand of gluconeogenesis from protein. But in the postprandial phase, GH exposure may compromise glucose tolerance via the same mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms whereby GH antagonizes insulin-stimulated glucose disposal in muscle is an important future research field with implications for a variety of clinical conditions ranging from malnutrition to obesity and type 2 diabetes.”

L-Arginine

L-arginine is an amino acid that initiates and participates in numerous bio-organic functions throughout the body such as regulating pH levels, supporting endothelial cells, assisting in the ridding of ammonia and other waste products, the building of necessary compounds like creatine, L-glutamate, and L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed. 

General Uses:

In larger amounts, L-arginine stimulates the release of growth hormone and prolactin and is also used to make the nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. Preliminary studies have found that L-arginine may help with conditions that improve when blood vessels are relaxed (called vasodilation), such as atherosclerosis, erectile dysfunction, and intermittent claudication.  L-arginine is thought to enhance the action of nitric oxide, which relaxes muscles surrounding blood vessels supplying the penis.  As a result, blood vessels in the penis dilate, increasing blood flow which helps maintain an erection.  One 50 subject study of men with erectile dysfunction compared a 5 grams a day dosage of L-arginine to that of a placebo, and, six weeks later, the L-arginine group showed marked improvement. 

With regard to its contribution to physical exercise, L-arginine possesses a multi-faceted effect spearheaded by a unique anti-fatiguing property which can increase training duration and shorten recovery time, but even more importantly L-arginine can increase in overall strength. 

Anabolic Benefits:

“A decrease of the blood supply to the muscle can be significant to the development of muscular fatigue, an important factor of incapacity. In this study, the effect of L-arginine taken orally, on the physiologic process of the muscular fatigue in 12 healthy volunteers, was investigated through located exercise controlled by isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex Multi-Joint System 3 dynamometer)…There was a significant decrease (mean 8.5%) indicating an improvement in the muscular resistance capacity to fatigue following the treatment by oral administration of arginine.”

GLUTAMATIC ACID (L-Glutamine) 

General Uses:

L-Glutamine can be converted to glutamic acid, which is a precursor to the important inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) and an excitatory neurotransmitter.  L-Glutamine transports ammonia, the toxic metabolic by-product of protein breakdown to the liver, where it is converted into less toxic urea and then excreted by the kidneys. Finally, glutamine can convert into alanine, an amino acid that the liver converts into glucose, supplying additional fuel to muscles during a prolonged workout. 

Anabolic Benefits:

“ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: We compared Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine (GlycoCarn(R)) and three different pre-workout nutritional supplements on measures of skeletal muscle oxygen saturation (StO2), blood nitrate/nitrite (NOx), lactate (HLa), malondialdehyde (MDA), and exercise performance in men.

CONCLUSION: None of the products tested resulted in favorable changes in our chosen outcome measures, with the exception of GlycoCarn(R) in terms of higher StO2 at the start of exercise. GlycoCarn(R) resulted in a 13.7% decrease in MDA from pre- to post-exercise and yielded a non-significant but greater total volume load compared to all other conditions…”

BCAA 

General Uses:

BCAAs, or Branched Chain Amino Acids, are the amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine; all of which assist in muscle recovery and muscle growth. 

Anabolic Benefits:

“Branched chain amino acids (BCAA) are particularly effective anabolic agents. Recent in vitro studies suggest that amino acids, particularly leucine, activate a signaling pathway that enhances messenger ribonucleic acid translation and protein synthesis. The physiological relevance of these findings to normal human physiology is uncertain. We examined the effects of BCAA on the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (eIF4E-BP1) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70^S6K) in skeletal muscle of seven healthy volunteers…We conclude that in human skeletal muscle BCAA act directly as nutrient signals to activate messenger ribonucleic acid translation and potentiate protein synthesis.”

“INTRODUCTION: Previous research has demonstrated that ingestion of essential amino acids and their metabolites induce anabolic effects with the potential to augment gains in lean body mass and strength after resistance exercise training. PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of an essential amino acid-based formula (Muscle Armor (MA); Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) containing beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) on hormonal and muscle damage markers in response to 12 wk of resistance exercise…CONCLUSION: MA supplementation beneficially affected training-induced changes in lean body mass, muscle strength, and power, as well as hormonal responses and markers of muscle damage in response to 12 wk of resistance exercise training when compared with an isonitrogenous control.”

“Context: A reduction in maximal mitochondrial ATP production rate (MAPR) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) abundance occurs with age in association with muscle weakness and reduced endurance in elderly people. Branched chain amino acids (BCAA) have been extensively used to improve physical performance…Objective: The objective was to determine whether an 8-h infusion of BCAA enhances MAPR equally in healthy young and elderly adults…Conclusions: BCAA increased skeletal muscle MAPR in the young participants in comparison with saline, but this effect was not seen in the elderly participants indicating, that unlike in the young, BCAA does not increase muscle mitochondrial function in the elderly.”

”Objective and Design: The objectives of this study were to determine whether: 1) chronic essential amino acid (EAA) supplementation improves postabsorptive muscle protein fractional synthesis rate (FSR), lean body mass (LBM), and one-repetition maximum muscle strength, and androgen receptor and IGF-I muscle protein expression; and 2) the acute anabolic response to EAA ingestion is preserved after a 3-month supplementation period…Conclusions: EAA improved LBM and basal muscle protein synthesis in older individuals. The acute anabolic response to EAA supplementation is maintained over time and can improve LBM, possibly offsetting the debilitating effects of sarcopenia.”
