PROARGI-9 PLUS

L-Arginine is one of the most potent neutraceuticals ever discovered. In addition to its beneficial effects on the blood circulation, l-arginine has been shown to have positive impacts on immune function, weight concerns and aging.

As an adaptogen, l-arginine helps the body adapt to changes in life, the environment, and may increase stamina and sports performance. In light of these findings, Synergy WorldWide is proud to introduce ProArgi-9 Plus, a remarkable product that contains l-arginine and other powerful ingredients that work in unison to enhance health and fitness.

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 for cardiovascular support.

ProArgi-9 Plus combines the latest technology and superior ingredients to help boost energy levels and enhance overall health.

Benefits

Supports cardiovascular health.
Enhances blood flow to vital organs.
Sweetened with Xylitol to enhance oral health.
Great tasting citrus grape flavor.
May aid in decresing body fat.
May boost energy level.

Ingredients

L-arginine - L-arginine is a vital amino acid that plays a role in a number of physiological functions in the body, but is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. In the body, l-arginine is converted to nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels and regulates blood vessel tone and flexibility. This reduces stress on the heart and improves circulation.

Folic Acid, Vitamins B6 and B12 - These ingredients work together to naturally decrease homocysteine levels.

Grape skin extract - This ingredient is high in antioxidants, anthocyanins, and polyphenols, which help fight damage caused by free radicals.

Vitamin D3 - This vitamin has long been known to aid in calcium absorption, but new research shows that D3 also plays a role in healthy cardiovascular function and supports healthy inflammatory response.

Xylitol - This ingredient is a low glycemic sweetener that occurs naturally in the body. Unlike other sweeteners, xylitol has been shown to promote saliva production providing protection against tooth decay.

NONI BLEND

Synergy understands Noni’s great potential and is committed to providing the most unique product on the market. Synergy’s Noni Blend offers unsurpassed antioxidant capabilities, and unlike any other Noni product, contains a large dose of polysaccharides. One of the most potent compounds known in science and medicine, polysaccharides are easily absorbed. Because of this capability, they can aid the immune system and reduce harmful free radicals.

Recently, Synergy scientists completed the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) test on Noni Blend. This test evaluates a product’s ability to scavenge free radicals. Noni Blend had one of the highest ORAC values measured among many different Noni products.

Noni’s rich history of use and ability to treat so many different ailments has lead to an explosion of products on the market.

To make sure that our product exceeds the competition, Synergy’s Noni Blend contains chokeberry juice and natural black raspberry flavor. Not only do these natural products make Noni Blend a pleasure to drink, they also increase its health properties.

MISTICA

The indigenous peoples of the Amazon call açai the “Tree of Life” and for centuries have used the tall, slender plant as a food and comforting balm for many health conditions.

Amazonian warriors reputedly drank the juice before battle to increase their stamina and strength, and local legends claim the juice has magical potency to enhance sexual desire. No other fruit can claim its extraordinary combination of antioxidants, amino acids, anthocyanins, and essential fatty acids. Synergy’s Mistica captures this mystical energy in a high-powered fruit blend that fortifies your body with essential life-giving nutrients. Savory and delicious, Mistica gives you what you need to accomplish more each day.

We’ve all heard of free radicals and the negative effects they can have on our health. Free radicals occur everywhere in our environment, including our food and in the air we breathe. The açai berry and the other fruits found in Mistica are natural sources of anthocyanins. An extremely potent type of antioxidant, anthocyanins are the pigments found in berries, red grapes, and other healthful foods. These compounds offer numerous health benefits, including the ability to support the circulatory and cardiovascular systems.

In addition to powerful antioxidants, açai also contains essential fatty acids, amino acids, and plant sterols, which are compounds that resemble cholesterol. Sterols help maintain proper cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range. They are also useful in maintaining a healthy prostate and in aiding the immune system.

Packed with tropical goodness, Mistica tastes great and provides your bodily systems with a dazzling array of health-enhancing properties. Including a daily serving of Mistica in your nutritional regime may help to enhance vitality and energy, while guarding against the ravages of free radical damage.

The proven heart health benefits of ProArgi-9 Plus have improved countless lives over the world. This remarkeble product is in 22 countries and its success stories are being heard across the globe.A healthy heart benefits all of your body's system and functions. In fact, there is a growing body of scientific evidence linking heart health with long-term brain health.

In a study performed by the University of Minnesota, heart health in middle age was linked to brain health in later life. Researchers collected three years worth of data from 11,151 participants, ranging in age from 46-70 years old. The study tracked the relationship between heart health and the incidence of dementia.

Not surprisingly, those with healthier hearth were less likely to develop dementia.

These findings add to a growing body of evidence linking cardiovascular risk factors and risk for dementia, and they point to a need for long-term prevention efforts.

So next time you take your daily dose of ProArgi-9 Plus, remember - a healthy heart also equals to a healthy mind!

22 Reasons You Should Try Arginine

Taken from http://www.synerwide.com/why-arginine.html


The following are the primary scientifically backed reasons that anyone - even healthy people - should consider adding arginine to their health and wellness regimen.   

  • It is one thousand times more powerful than any naturally occuring antioxidant in the body. Arginine's antioxidant properties support various body systems and may protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, as well as slowing premature aging. (16,17)
  • It offers wide-ranging cardiovascular support, including controlling blood pressure(18,19) and plaque formation. Nitric oxide keeps arteries relaxed and pliable for normal blood pressure, preventing hypertension and angina.(20)
  • It enhances memory, particularly long-term memory,(21) and may help to reverse the effects of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.(22)
  • It boosts human growth hormone (HGH) production, which has antiaging properties.(23)
  • It enhances communication of messenger cells between nerves and the brain.(24)
  • It may help improve immune function(25) and fight bacterial infections.(26)
  • It may help in the treatment and prevention of diabetes since many disease complications, including poor circulation and blindness, are vascular in nature. Arginine is also found to regulate insulin secretion in the pancreas.(27,28)
  • It may inhibit the division and proliferation of cancer cells.(29,30)
  • It helps with cholesterol control by lowering serum and LDL cholesterol levels.(31)
  • It enhances male sexual performance by treating vascular erectile dysfunction (ED).(32)
  • Its anticoagulant abilities reduce clotting to lower heart attack and stroke risk.(33)
  • It reduces pregnancy-related hypertension, a risk factor for both the expecting mother and the unborn child.(34)
  • It is useful in the treatment of asthma by opening pulmonary pathways for easier breathing and the treatment of lung disorders.(35,36)
  • It relaxes hypertonics sphincter muscles, preventing and healing hemorrhoids.(37)
  • It boosts lean muscle mass and preserves bone density by encouraging HGH production,(38) which also leads to a reduction in fatty tissue. As a result, it may be useful in weight management and strenght training.
  • It can help offset cardiovascular and lung damage caused by tobacco use,(39) since nitric oxide levels in smokers are less than half of those found in non-smokers.(40)
  • It helps to accelerate wound healing(41) and post-surgery recovery.(42) Research has shown it is useful in treating burn wounds(43) and stimulates wound healing in the elderly.(44)
  • It may be useful in enhancing athletic performance due to its ability to boost exercise tolerance,(45) its beneficial effect on the lungs, and its effect on HGH levels, which helps with building lean muscle tissue.
  • It may be used to improve the function of the prostate.(46)
  • It may prevent and possibly reverse the effects of osteoporosis by positively affecting bone mass.(47)
  • It has been used in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome(48) and to reduce the occurence of ulcers - especially stress-related - without affecting gastric acid production.(49,50)
  • It may improve renal function and slow the progression of renal disease and age-related chronic renal failure.(51,52) Arginine's protective effect on the kidney's may also benefit those with diabetes.
