injectable amino acids

[tonyatl]

Where can one get injectable amino acids ? like they used in the book life extension, swallowing 36 pills a night is getting boring.

Why do you want to take amino acids ?

You can find plenty of them in proteins ...

For the GH release alot cheaper, prescription gh.

 

[anthrax]

Which GH releaser ?

Arginine ?
GABA ?

I don't think they are effective
and certainly not as HGH (though I don't recommend it)

 

[tonyatl]

I am taking at night

5400 mg arginine pyroglumate
5200 mg lysine
5200 mg glutamine

OK for Arginine pyroglutamate

but about Lysine and Glutamine ?

"Even after the Journal of Gerontology report (a) stated that "Oral arginine-lysine does not increase growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor-1," lysine advocates kept promoting its use as a valid GH releaser. Additionally, lysine has the highly undesirable side-effect of insulin release (b), and should be considered an unacceptable co-factor in any arginine formula. "

The only injectable amino acids i know of are in a nutrient rich hyperosmoloar dextrose solution given to patients for intravenous feeding. And the only way it can be administered is directly into the vena cava in the heart. It's the only venous area with a current fast enough to dilute the solution.

Do a search for "Hemo-15." Its an intramuscular injectable amino acid and vitamin solution, however its a veternary drug. Its ever cheap and easily obtainable through mailorder or farm supply stores, like Southern States.

I was on IV for surgery recently. The nurse told me that one of the bags had amino acids in it along with dextrose.

whatever happened to the study that 2 g. L-Gluatmine increased plasma GH levels by 450%? has that study been debunked or what?

I thought it was best to keep your arginine and lysine intake at similar levels. Too much arginine can cause cold sores/herpes breakouts in those that are prone and lysine can help cure them. I've also heard a high arginine intake and low lysine intake can lead to increased illness.

Why in the world would you take amino acids in pills??? The body can only use about 20 grams of protein at any one time, the rest is passed thru the body. A protein shake will give you more than that quantity, is infinately easier to swallow, and tastes pretty good. You are fooling yourself if you are taking all this stuff, and you are wasting a lot of money. If you ingest 20+ grams of protein at one time, and it is a complete protein (contains all essential amino acids), your body will do the rest...break it down into amino acids and use the stuff to make new proteins. You have fallen victim to the oldest of scams, right up there with the "latest and greatest European Skin secrets of Countess Lookslikeshit from Luxemborg. The only benefit from these pills is to make the sellers richer.
