Agmatine, a by-product of the amino acid Arginine, has been used for some time in nutritional supplements to increase muscle mass. It is a safe, yet effective supplement to help improve your body composition, health and quality of life. Agmatine Sulfate, by Formutech Nutrition™, is 99% pure Agmatine Sulfate with all these great benefits:
Benefits of Agmatine Sulfate
- Increases nitric oxide production. [1] giving you long lasting muscle pumps*
- Prolongs the onset of muscle fatigue. [2]
- Significantly lengthens exercise time. [3]
- Enhances cell growth and homeostasis and is proven to increase cell count per unit of surface area by 10-17%. [4][5]
- Proven to improve muscle strength by 24-62%. [6][7]
- Mental focus and overall mental well-being. [3][8][9]
- Assists in chronic pain management. [3][8][9]
Supplementing with Formutech Nutrition’s™ Agmatine Sulfate promotes fullness in your muscles, vascularity and increased muscle size!* Individuals have also experienced improved athletic performance and an increase in fat loss.* At 99% pure, Formutech Nutrition’s™, Agmatine Sulfate, is as good as it gets.*
