Agmatine Powder (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. Now, finally, you can affordably see for yourself all of the promises that Agmatine holds!

Agmatine seems to be all the rage right now, and it's a bit hard to understand why, as this is basically just a straight pump product. I'm not against pumps or anything, but I also don't like buying products solely for pump...I do get pumps from lifting alone. That said, the NP agmatine powder did help improve pumps and I noticed that vascularity was significantly enhanced, even when I'm not lifting - I had some insane veinage in my arms just from running. Agmatine is also supposed to increase IGF-1 and GH release and improve recovery, but I can't definitely say that I've experienced those results. Recovery time between sets seems to be shorter and strength has increased, but not in a huge way. It's virtually tasteless and mixes well with everything I've tried, so no issues there.
