Dr. Böger on ADMA
Some of the major achievements of Dr. Böger’s career involve his research on asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as a risk marker of vascular disease. In today’s Cardio Call, he took time to address the subject of ADMA and a misunderstanding that is becoming all too common in the industry.
Some have suggested that because ADMA blocks l-arginine that it thereby cancels out all potential benefits of ProArgi-9+ in the body. However, the truth as pointed out by Dr. Böger is that the presence of ADMA in a person’s body is the very reason high quality l-arginine supplementation is so necessary.
“We see 2 out of 3 people have a deficite in l-arginine,” says Dr. Böger. “This, in most people, is not true because they have such low levels of arginine in the blood, but because they have high levels of ADMA in the blood. When someone has high ADMA, that person is in need of additional arginine from a dietary supplement. People who have high ADMA have a high need of l-arginine from ProArgi-9+. We have data to show that for explicitly those with a high ADMA, l-arginine supplements will work well. For those with a low ADMA, the need to have a high dose of arginine supplements is not so great.”
Be sure to listen to the rest of the recording as he explores this subject in greater detail.

ProArgi-9 Plus
Description
ProArgi-9 Plus is Synergy’s top selling product and the cornerstone of any nutritional regimen. One serving contains 5,000 mg (5 grams) of elemental pharmaceutical grade L-arginine (6,000 mg (6grams) in Canada). Often referred to as the “miracle molecule,” L-arginine has potent health-enhancing properties.
The remarkable properties of L-arginine were validated by the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine, and since then have created a frenzy of interest in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. The efficacy of L-arginine as a therapeutic agent has been validated by thousands of scientific clinical studies.
ProArgi-9 Plus was formulated in collaboration with leading L-arginine researchers such as J. Joseph Prendergast and other cardiovascular specialists who have conducted pioneering research in the proper application of L-arginine in promoting cardiovascular health. These experts have helped create the best L-arginine product on the market.
L-arginine is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. In the body, L-arginine is converted to nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels. This reduces stress on the heart and improves circulation. L-arginine is the body’s major source for nitric oxide synthesis. Without nitric oxide, human life would not be possible. L-arginine also reduces blood viscosity. Scientific studies have shown that L-arginine significantly reduces blood pressure levels.
L-arginine also enhances health in a number of other ways. It improves immune function, stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH), promotes healthy sexual function, may boost energy levels, and helps to build muscle.
ProArgi-9 Plus is a unique product with far-reaching health benefits and powerful support for the cardiovascular system. With ProArgi-9 Plus, you’re giving your body the support necessary for a long, healthy life.
