Frequently Asked Questions

What Synergy products may be taken with ProArgi-9?
None of the Synergy products listed below may be taken within 2 hours of taking ProArgi-9 as there will be interference with the uptake of L-arginine.

Food, proteins, amino acids, sugars, fat, and drinks other than water, compete with L arginine for uptake across the blood-brain barrier. It is for this reason that doses of more than 1 scoop (daytime dose) of Pro Argi-9 must be taken 30 minutes apart from any food, drink, and most nutrients. No deleterious effects will occur, but it is simply a waste of time and product to take L-arginine with competing agents.

When taking ProArgi-9 at bedtime, no food, drink (except water), or nutrients may be eaten within 2 hours of taking ProArgi-9.

Who Can Use ProArgi-9?
ProArgi-9 was designed for use by adults (persons over the age of 23) who have declining levels of human growth hormone (GH).

Has ProArgi-9 been proven to be safe for humans to use?
Yes. ProArgi-9 has been used safely in humans for the past 20 years (since 1983) and has the longest history of use in humans of any L-arginine product. Thousands of professional athletes, as well as non-athletes, have used ProArgi-9 with no adverse side effects.

Is ProArgi-9 accepted for use by athletes by the Olympic Committee?
Yes. Athletes using ProArgi-9 have won Gold medals. ProArgi-9 is used and promoted by famous world-class athletes who have used ProArgi-9 during their careers and in their competition events. ProArgi-9 is legal for use in Olympic games, IFBB world body building competitions, WPF power lifting events, fitness pageants, NFL events, NBA events, the Ironman competition, and any other sports event.

Does ProArgi-9 contain any hormones?
No. Hormones can only be prescribed safely by a physician. The human body produces its own growth hormone naturally. The hypothalamus regulates the release of growth hormones as well as thyroid stimulating hormone, Lutenizing hormone (LH) and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The anterior pituitary makes Trophic hormones which activate endocrine system glands. Growth hormone is a Trophic hormone, and as such can be promoted by administration of a natural Homeostatic HGH protocol.*

Can ProArgi-9 be mixed with protein drinks?
No. Other amino acids may not be ingested simultaneously with ProArgi-9, and that includes protein and amino acid supplements and foods or drinks containing protein and/or amino acids. However, you can ingest it two hours before or after taking ProArgi-9. Other amino acids compete with L-arginine, particularly Lysine, and can render the formula inert. You can take your protein supplement, shake or bar, following your workout. Make sure the product or meal is also low glycemic unless you have depleted muscle glycogen during your workout or training regimen.L-Arginine is an ingredient in my protein shake.

Can't I take a double dose, say 50 grams of protein, to get sufficient arginine?
No. Very little of the arginine in the protein shake will be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. These are amino acids that compete for the same pathway. The stomach should not contain amino acids that compete with L-arginine. Athletes that take their protein shakes with their arginine supplements are wasting their time and money.

How much L-arginine is in a serving of ProArgi-9?
One serving of ProArgi-9 contains 5,000 milligrams (5 grams) of pure free form L-arginine.

How should ProArgi-9 be used?

For General Health Benefits: Mix one serving with 4-8 oz. water (depending on individual taste). Stir to dissolve. If water is very cold, mixture will take about 1 minute to dissolve. Add ice to activate the flavor system if desired. One serving may be taken twice per day. Food and drinks may be taken with daytime servings, but high glycemic food and drinks should be avoided. Do not use L-lysine within 2 hours of taking this product.

Nighttime Dosage Information: Take 1-2 servings in desired amount of water, 30 minutes prior to sleep on an empty stomach. Do not ingest food, including protein drinks, L-Citrulline, high glycemic drinks, or supplements containing any other amino acids with or within 2 hours of taking this product at bedtime.

Optional instructions for athletes: Athletes may elect to take ProArgi-9 at bedtime on an empty stomach and again 30-45 minutes prior to exercise. On non-exercise days, athletes should take ProArgi-9 only at bedtime. ProArgi-9 should not be cycled. Most sports drinks interfere with GH release, so only drink water near desired GH release times.

Is the ProArgi-9 safe to use if you have ocular or other herpes?
Nutri-Mor
Arginine should not be used for any person with ocular herpes (required statement by law), but persons with non-ocular herpes may try the ProArgi-9. In a certain substrate of the population, any form of arginine will re-stimulate symptoms, and if this happens, they simply stop using the product.
