ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Arginine, and L-arginine, are precursors of nitric oxide (NO). NO is a colorless gas. Yet it relaxes the smooth muscle of the arteries. This has been discovered and used for decades. Nitrates and nitrites, like nitroglycerin, have been used to decrease angina. Relaxing the smooth muscles of the veins and arteries decreases the load on the heart. That's how it decreases the pain of angina.

In 1998, the Nobel Prize for medicine went to Drs. Furchgott, Murad, and Ignarro for discoveries leading to understanding nitric oxide.

Arginine and citrulline are metabolic precursors of nitric oxide. There is debate within the supplements community re: which is better. That debate is not covered in this video. Instead, we cover a couple of studies dealing with L-arginine as a supplement.

Here are the citations:
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27753625
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22137067

Arginine appears to have some positive effects on blood pressure and carbohydrate metabolism. Maybe not as much as some prescription drugs. But a lot of people do not want to take prescription drugs.

🩺ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in-person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed prediabetes or insulin resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like prediabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.
