Essential Amino Acids- Skeletal, Smooth and Cardiac Muscles.

Essential Amino Acids strengthen many other types of muscles such as smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. So what does this mean for your health?

Everything improves, smooth muscle forms the support tissue of blood vessels and the walls of hollow internal organ such as the bladder, stomach and intestine. Smooth muscles, in particular, is regulated by a chemical called nitric oxide which is products in the body but is created and destroyed very quickly. However, you can increase nitric oxide production with the amino acid arginine.

As you age, arginine becomes limited, and the body does not produce enough to maintain an optimal level in the blood which impacts nitric oxide production. Adequate nitric oxide production helps regulate blood pressure, improves intestinal and smooth muscle function and even increase sexual function.

Next in line is cardiac muscle which shares many similarities with skeletal muscle, so essential amino acids have a substantial effect on the heart as well. A major issue facing heart muscle is that it requires a lot of blood flow to it even though all the blood in your body is flowing through it. Your heart only benefits from blood that is delivered through the coronary arteries, which is why surgery is required when coronary arteries become blocked or unable to respond to nitric oxide.

Arginine has a beneficial effect on blood pressure as well by providing a steady flow of blood to the muscle of the heart. The increased blood flow benefits muscle function, regulation of blood and improves heart function. this also enhances nutrient delivery throughout the body!
