ProArgi-9+ Active HDHI Study

• 9 Healthy Subjects + Dan Austin• Ages: 22-54 + d60an

ProArgi-9+ Active HDHI Study

• Measure lactic acid levels during vigorous exercise• Lactic acid accumulates when body goes into oxygen

debt• More vigorous the exercise the longer the duration of

exercise, higher the lactic acid accumulation• Lactic Acid causes muscle fatigue• Lactic acid accumulation decreases muscle

performance

ProArgi-9+ Active HDHI Study

Hypothesis:

If L-Arginine increases muscle blood flow, then there will be less lactic acid accumulation.

Thus increasing endurance & muscle recovery.
