Documented Uses

• Naturally produced by the body (endogenous). Is used as a supplement to enhance athletic performance.
• Analogs of those substrates or compounds which bind naturally at the active sites of proteins, enzymes, antibodies, steroids, or physiological receptors. These analogs form a stable covalent bond at the binding site, thereby acting as inhibitors of the proteins or steroids.
• Guanidino acetic acid (GAA) is synthesized in the liver and kidney from Arg and Gly and subsequently methylated by S-adenosylmethionine to form creatine. The conversion of guaniodacetate to creatinine in the liver causes a depletion of methyl groups. This causes homocysteine levels to rise, which has been shown to produce cardiovascular and skeletal problems.
• 3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency
• Arginine and proline metabolism
• Arginine: Glycine Amidinotransferase Deficiency (AGAT Deficiency)
