THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TREATMENT
Based on findings of Louis Ignarro, Robert Furchgott and Ferid Murad. They were awarded the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1998 for their discoveries concerning “nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system”.
Key benefits as outlined in Dr Ignarro’s book: NO more heart disease:
- Lower blood pressure
- Improve circulation
- Delay onset or progression of atherosclerosis
- Reduce likelihood of (or possibly prevent) having a heart attack or stroke.
In any new drug that comes to the market, the company introducing the drug needs to go through clinical trials to prove its veracity and that it delivers what the company says it will deliver.
The l-arginine that we promote has gone through clinical trials. The key difference between the l-arginine that we source and the l-arginine you can buy in health food shops largely relates to the concentrate and quality of the l-arginine. The reason we selected this product is that it is the only l-arginine product we know that has gone through clinical trials. It is called ProArgi-9.
The High Desert Heart Institute Clinical Study
During the early part of 2009 a 90-day human clinical study was undertaken at the High Desert Heart Institute in California.
The study started with 35 congestive heart failure patients that were from the Congestive Heart Failure Unit at the Institute.
It concluded in July 2009 with 33 patients. One patient dropped out because they received a new heart, the other because
they were not able to remain compliant to the study’s protocols.Over the course of the 90-day High Desert Heart Institute study, each patient received extensive diagnostic testing which
generated approximately 7000 points of data.“… what we ended up seeing was remarkable positive remodelling of the heart, positive pulmonary artery changes in terms of pulmonary pressures, changes in the cardiac dimensions, changes in heart function… that can only be attributed to ProArgi-9.”

The amino acid l-argenine converts into nitric oxide in the body, relaxes the blood vessels and helps combat the build up of plaque in the arteries.
