A chemical that can not only help protect the brain from stroke and toxins, but aids greatly in exercise recovery and naturally destroys pain!

Agmatine is derived from L-Arginine. It is considered to be a neuromodulator and neurotransmitter and is stored in the neurons. Presently, agmatine has been shown to possibly be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain and addiction to drugs. With agmatine in the system, the brain is also protected from strokes and toxins. Agmatine can be supplemented as a stand alone product to increase perception of pain but it also works together with painkillers such as morphine. This synergistic relationship with painkillers allows the agmatine to reduce tolerance build up of pain killers, possible addiction, and the actual pain itself.

Agmatine is a natural pain fighter and can aid greatly in post-workout recovery. Anxiety is also relieved which lowers cortisol levels and can help fight depression. Agmatine also aids in proper nitric oxide levels of the body which creates greater pumps and increases in vascularity. The antioxidant role of agmatine protects the body from free radicals which, in athletes, tends to build up in large amounts. Overall, agmatine is a great addition to a supplement regimen given its wide array of benefits. Find it here!
