Agmatine Sulfate

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

1. Increases nitric oxide production. [1] giving you long lasting muscle pumps*
2. Prolongs the onset of muscle fatigue. [2]
3. Significantly lengthens exercise time. [3]
4. Enhances cell growth and homeostasis and is proven to increase cell count per unit of surface area by 10-17%. [4][5]
5. Proven to improve muscle strength by 24-62%. [6][7]
6. Mental focus and overall mental well-being. [3][8][9]
7. 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.*
