Summary |
GNC L-Arginine is this manufacturer’s version of an amino acid based longevity product. GNC is a retailer and manufacturer of nutritional supplements, which has an extensive product line. GNC says this about their company: “as our company has grown over the years, so has our commitment to living well. In fact, GNC is the world's largest company of its kind devoted exclusively to helping its customers improve their quality of life.”
L-Arginine is major ingredient used in many amino acid based longevity products already on the market. It is suggested to be a key ingredient in achieving anti-aging results; although these claims are commonly made about many different ingredients. We will meticulously assess this product to see if it can provide any anti-aging results.

 | Ingredients At A Glance |
|
The only ingredient listed for this product is L-Arginine. Let’s take a brief look at this ingredient.
L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid found in both humans and other mammals. L-arginine helps with immune system boosting, eliminating ammonia from the body, healing wounds, and cell divison, as well as aiding with the release hormones in the body. L-arginine is naturally found in most proteins such as dairy products and meat.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
GNC L-Arginine uses an amino acid based theory to try to improve the body’s ability to stave off the aging process. We have found that many products will use amino acids to try to create this result because of the availability and relative inexpensiveness of the ingredients. While it is true that L-Arginine may be helpful in helping the overall function of the body, as well as enhancing its ability to heal from wounds, it has in no way been proven to be an aggressive anti-aging agent. A recent study, has suggested that it may have some role in increased risk of death in individuals recovering from heart attacks. We believe that further research needs to be conducted regarding the viability of L-Arginine as an anti-aging agent.
However, there is no need to worry because there are many safe, modern and effective anti-aging products on the market many of which use 2-AEP®, a substance which has been proven to aggressively protect and regenerate cells in users. In Germany, it has been used to treat MS with very good results because of it cell rejuvenating abilities.
There are many products which will include the much sought after ingredient Real HGHR, which has been shown to be able to encourage the pituitary gland to produce more HGH, which has been shown to impede the aging process. HGH will decrease with age, so it is important for products, which are targeted toward decreasing signs of aging, to try to boost HGH production. There are many products which suggest they can do this through the use of amino acids; however, Real HGHR has been shown to be far more aggressive and efficient.

 | Website |
|
We would have thought that since this website belongs to such a well known and often sought after manufacturers and retailer of nutritional supplements, that it would contain a wide array of product related information. However, we were disappointed to find out that this is not the case. This website contains very little information about this product and its ability to create results in users. There is no research posted to validate the claims made about GNC L-Arginine, which is information that many consumers look for. The fact that this information is omitted does consumers a great disservice and under estimates their buying savvy.
This website also does not post any testimonials about GNC L-Arginine. Most manufacturers will post testimonials because it illustrates to consumers that their product really works. When this information is not provided it is often a red flag for us in terms of a products ability to create anti-aging results in users

 | Positives |
|
• Well known manufacturer
• Secure ordering
|
 | Negatives |
|
• No research posted
• Formula does not use Real HGHR or 2-AEP®
• Possible side effects for some
|
 | Final Thoughts |
|
Overall, we do not believe that GNC L-Arginine is an aggressive anti-aging product; although it may well help with recovery after a work out. For anti-aging we usually recommend consumers look for a capsule based formula which uses the most effective ingredients possible such as Real HGHR or 2-AEP®. When these two ingredients are used together they have been shown to be able to help consumers meet their anti-aging goals and then some.
In the end, this product does appear on the surface to be relatively inexpensive; however, users may well eventually decide to add more effective supplements into their nutritional regime, which will end up costing them more money. There is no free shipping available for this product, which is a feature we really like to see offered to consumers.

Longevity® -
is the original HGH formula from Germany that is now available in America with no prescription. This powerful product is the only oral supplement to combine both patented 2-AEP® and real HGHR. These are definitely the two most effective non-prescription anti-aging ingredients on the market. 2-AEP® is far more scientifically advanced than any other anti-aging ingredient we have seen. Longevity® also uses a real HGHR patented Pituitary Gland extract. This is the most powerful substance you can feed your pituitary gland to stimulate a drastic increase in your production of Growth Hormone. Longevity® was formulated by world renowned doctor, Hans Neiper, who has treated many famous stars and royalty. The Longevity® website contains the most heart-felt testimonials we have seen for an anti-aging product. Their customers say enough to sell the product alone. We appreciate a company who believes in their products so confidently that it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee.
