AGMATINE
Agmatine is one of my personal favorite peri-workout nitric oxide "pump focused" ingredients that I utilize in combination with other nutrient facilitators and performance enhancers. Agmatine is a metabolite of L-Arginine and provides much more than clear ergogenic effects. Agmatine also:
-increase cognitive health
-protects the brain from toxins and strokes
-possesses some cardiovascular health benefits
-fairly good nutrient partitioner as it to increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake via GLUT4 mRNA up-regulation.
For our purposes as using it preworkout and/or intraworkout, it works by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase enzymes, there by allowing up-regulated levels of nitric oxide. There are many more mechanisms involved but most people will get bored with the details 1-3 grams preworkout and/or intraworkout seems to be the sweet spot for a lot of people and will depend if other pump ingredients are utilized.
Endogenous opiates do not influence glucose and lipid metabolism in rat adipocytes. - PubMed - NCBI
Agmatine affects glomerular filtration via a nitric oxide synthase-dependent mechanism. - PubMed - NCBI
Effects of aging on agmatine levels in memory-associated brain structures. - PubMed - NCBI
Agmatine exerts anticonvulsant effect in mice: modulation by alpha 2-adrenoceptors and nitric oxide. - PubMed - NCBI
