L-Arginine

Arginine (abbreviated as Arg or R) is an a-amino acid. It was first isolated in 1886. The L-form is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids. At the level of molecular genetics, in the structure of the messenger ribonucleic acid mRNA, CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG, are the triplets of nucleotide bases or codons that codify for arginine during protein synthesis. In mammals, arginine is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual. Preterm infants are unable to synthesize or create arginine internally, making the amino acid nutritionally essential for them. There are some conditions that put an increased demand on the body for the synthesis of L-arginine, including surgical or other trauma, sepsis and burns.[citation needed] Arginine was first isolated from a lupin seedling extract in 1886 by the Swiss chemist Ernst Schultze.

In general, most people do not need to take arginine supplements because the body usually produces enough. The amino acid side-chain of arginine consists of a 3-carbon aliphatic straight chain, the distal end of which is capped by a complex guanidinium group.
Delocalization of charge in guanidinium group of L-Arginine

With a pKa of 12.48, the guanidinium group is positively charged in neutral, acidic and even most basic environments, and thus imparts basic chemical properties to arginine. Because of the conjugation between the double bond and the nitrogen lone pairs, the positive charge is delocalized, enabling the formation of multiple H-bonds.

Secratatropin Ingredients 7

Secratatropin contains so many natural substances, including L-Tyrosine.

Tyrosine (abbreviated as Tyr or Y)[1] or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine, is one of the 22 amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins.
The word "tyrosine" is from the Greek tyri, meaning cheese, as it was first discovered in 1846 by German chemist Justus von Liebig in the protein casein from cheese. It is called tyrosyl when referred to as a functional group or side chain.

It plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters that regulate emotions. The body makes l-tyrosine from another amino acid, known as phenylalanine.


Dietary sources
Tyrosine, which can also be synthesized in the body from phenylalanine, is found in many high-protein food products such as:
- soy products
- chicken
- turkey
- fish
- peanuts
- almonds
- avocados
- milk
- cheese
- yogurt
- cottage cheese
- lima beans
- pumpkin seeds
- and sesame seeds.
Tyrosine can also be obtained through supplementation.

People take tyrosine for:
- depression
- attention deficit disorder (ADD)
- attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- the inability to stay awake (narcolepsy)
- improving alertness following sleep deprivation.
- It is also used for stress, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), alcohol and cocaine withdrawal, heart disease and stroke, ED (erectile dysfunction), loss of interest in sex, schizophrenia, and as a suntan agent and appetite suppressant.
- Some people also apply tyrosine to the skin to reduce age-related wrinkles.
- libido enhancement

Secratatropin's ingredients 2

One of Secratatropin's ingredients is GABA.

Gaba is a unique amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. When used correctly, GBAB may be able to raise HGH levels in the bloodstream and even improve the body’s sleep cycle (allowing for a deeper, more restful sleep). Although its abilities are still being studied, Gaba has not resulted in any long-term or negative side-effects.


It is also used for brain metabolism and to treat both epilepsy and hypertension where it is thought to induce tranquility in individuals who have a high activity of manic behavior and acute agitation.

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid can be used to calm a person, much like tranquilizers, but without the possibility of addiction.

It is sometimes used as sexual a stimulant because of its relaxing capabilities, as well as with prostate problems, since it also assists with the release of sex hormones.

Symptoms of GABA deficiency
Normally, the brain produces all the GABA we need. Unfortunately, due to a poor diet, exposure to environmental toxins, or other factors, levels of GABA may become depleted and so many people may be deficient without even realising it.
Main symptoms of GABA deficiency include:
- anxiety
- irritability
- insomnia
- depression
- palpitations

Benefits of GABA
- Promote better sleep
GABA promotes relaxation and induces better sleep by easing anxiety.

- Epilepsy
A link has been made to low GABA levels and epileptic seizures in some patients - in these cases, extra GABA appeared to inhibit nerve cells in the brain from firing and setting off seizures.

- Chronic pain
Stress can aggravate pain, making it feel worse. As a natural stress-reducer, GABA supplements can help to relieve the intensity of pain and as it reduces the pain-related nerve impulses to make the sensation of feeling pain a lesser experience.

-ADHD
GABA is effective in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Oxytocin (3)

Scientists have discovered that the hormone oxytocin could help wallflowers overcome awkwardness in social situations
The chemical dubbed "the hormone of love" is known to increase empathy and bonding – especially parents and their children.
But now researchers have found it improves the social skills of the shy – but has little effect on those who are naturally confident.
The finding could have implications for those with severe social deficiencies, often apparent in conditions like autism.
Researchers at Israel's Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment and Columbia University were examining whether the hormone, which occurs naturally in the body could make us more understanding of others.

The scientists, whose research is published in Psychological Science, also measured the participants' social competency, using a test known as AQ which is usually used in autistic patients.
They found that oxytocin did improve powers of empathy – but only among those who were less socially proficient in the first place.
The more socially comfortable participants performed well on the empathetic task regardless of whether they were on oxytocin or placebo.
But less socially proficient participants performed significantly better on oxytocin, with their empathetic powers performance identical to that of the more outgoing participants.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using oxytocin?

Oxytocin (1)

Oxytocin was discovered by a British pharmacologist named Henry Dale in 1909. It was first synthesised in 1953 by Vincent de Vigneaud, an American chemist who was awarded the 1955 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for this discovery, the first polypeptide hormone to be synthesised. He also synthesised the related hormone vasopressin, which controls the body's retention of water. Oxytocin is cys-tyr-ile-gln-asn-cys-pro-leu-glu, vasopressin is cys-tyr-phe-gln-asn-cys-pro-arg-glu.

Oxytocin (Greek, “quick birth”) is a mammalian hormone that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain.

In humans, oxytocin is thought to be released during hugging, touching, and orgasm in both sexes. In the brain, oxytocin is involved in social recognition and bonding, and may be involved in the formation of trust between people and generosity.

In women, it is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and vagina during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding, respectively. Synthetic oxytocin is sold as medication under the trade names Pitocin and Syntocinon as well as generic oxytocin.


(excerpts of) Oxytocin hormone benefits and side effects by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

Oxytocin is a hormone that helps relax and reduce blood pressure and cortisol levels. Oxytocin increases pain thresholds, has anti anxiety effects, and stimulates various types of positive social interaction. In addition, it promotes growth and healing.
