The L-arginine they call the miracle molecule in this drink is an amino-acid that in combination with oxygen reacts with the precusor vasodilator e-nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to create actual vasodilation in a simple sequence of events; O2 + L-arginin + eNOS -> L-citruline and NO -> guanlyl cyclase -> GTP -> cyclic-GMP and... 'abracadabra' the arterial wall muscle relaxes which increases blood flow. <br /><br />As you all are no doubt are aware, normally have enough L-arginine in your system and the problem is the lack of supply of eNOS, as it is snaffled up by free radicals or the endothelium itself is damaged and doesn't produce enough eNOS, etc... so I'm not sure how adding extra L-arginine will help. <br /><br />But as they used say about water in Get Smart: (<i>shrugs</i>) It wouldn't hurt.<br /><br />Same goes for the Horny Goat Weed, also in this drink.expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-61253193729138964022009-11-20T17:36:57.351+11:002009-11-20T17:36:57.351+11:00I just discovered that the energy drink sold by AL...I just discovered that the energy drink sold by ALDI is also made in Austria.Lost in Melbournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197275050826963568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-41703263355778809822009-11-19T17:03:22.767+11:002009-11-19T17:03:22.767+11:00Did you guys mix your vodkas with Red Bull/Shark? ...Did you guys mix your vodkas with Red Bull/Shark? :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-62987800955997293262009-11-19T11:09:34.807+11:002009-11-19T11:09:34.807+11:00You realise this all because some Thai general fel...You realise this all because some Thai general felt he was not getting his cut.Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691561872847907682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-37028055845528271832009-11-19T03:31:40.462+11:002009-11-19T03:31:40.462+11:00Marke: but I doubt Osotspa and TC Pharma get along...Marke: but I doubt Osotspa and TC Pharma get along, they've been in competition for ages.<br /><br />Sav: I try not to drink RB because of the my blood pressure and the glucose levels (sugar being the operative word, sugar), except maybe at 3am when I need a charge to get me through those spooky, David-Lynch-dream hours just before dawn in the bars of Wanchai.expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-68522445182772900152009-11-19T03:03:13.437+11:002009-11-19T03:03:13.437+11:00ok, but do they taste good? or are they different ...ok, but do they taste good? or are they different from each other? or is this just a marketing sos/dd, sugar? xoxoxosavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-11639525636014873202009-11-19T01:39:08.586+11:002009-11-19T01:39:08.586+11:00good marketing strategy perhaps... be your own com...good marketing strategy perhaps... be your own competitor, provide an alternative before someone else does....markehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387629308058823374noreply@blogger.com
