I am no Casey, but I can give you the info, this is from the bulk section at NP. If you look at the price there and of the other stuff included, you will see that USP Labs is giving a SERIOUS deal putting this stuff out for what they do. When you combine everything you can not make this cheaper in bulk buying at any reasonable individual level. I tried before buying it to see if possible.
Quoted from NutraPlanet
"Agmatine is a naturally occurring compound, formed when arginine breaks down. Agmatine is specifically classified as a neurotransmitter and as such, is synthesized and stored in the brain for later use in nerve, synapse and hormone signaling functions.
It is this latter point that is of most interest to athletes. Agmatine seems to act as a “Super Arginine”, surpassing the old amino acid in every conceivable way and actually fulfilling on the vastly under-met promises of yester-years’ Arginine.
Just some of the proposed benefits of Agmatine include increased growth hormone output, increased IGF-1 output, increase luetenizing hormone output, creates an ideal environment for better insulin sensitivity, increases nitric oxide through multiple different pathways, acts as an anti-oxidant, helps build muscle, helps burn fat and may actually help offset pain associated with over-training.
As you can see, Agmatine is truly a new Super-Nutrient that has the research to back it up."
