WHAT
IS IT?
What
is ArginMax?
ArginMax
for Female Sexual Fitness is a combination of L-Arginine, ginseng,
ginkgo, and 14 essential vitamins and minerals which work together
to support sexual performance and enjoyment. Plus, it provides
the benefits of a daily multi-vitamin which includes important
antioxidants and the minerals calcium, iron, and zinc.
ArginMax
for Female Sexual Fitness was developed based on the observation
that certain botanical extracts may facilitate the conversion
of the naturally occurring amino acid, L-arginine, into nitric
oxide. Nitric oxide is the key (regulatory molecule) for circulation,
erection and arousal.
ArginMax
for Female Sexual Fitness is designed to take a more natural,
gentle and gradual approach toward sexual health and wellness,
rather than the conventional path of drug treatment.
How
is ArginMax for Women different from ArginMax for men?
ArginMax
was originally formulated for men, but anecdotal evidence suggested
that ArginMax for Male Sexual Fitness also supported sexual
fitness in women. To answer the demands of women who have taken
ArginMax for men (or wanted to), we have specifically formulated
a product for women. ArginMax for Female Sexual Fitness contains
a slightly lower level of Arginine due to the lower average
body weight of women compared to men. It also contains less
zinc and no selenium, since these were added for male fertility
issues. Instead of these ingredients, we have added calcium
and iron to help relieve fatigue issues specific to women. We
have also replaced the American ginseng in the men's product
with Damiana (Turnera aphrodisiaca), an aromatic herb which
helps calm anxiety and induce a relaxed state of mind.
All
other ingredients in the women's ArginMax formulation remain
the same as in the men's, including 100% of your RDA of vitamins
A, C, E and the entire B-complex. Levels of Korean ginseng and
Ginkgo biloba also remain the same for their proven synergistic
effect with L-arginine in the promotion of Sexual Fitness.
Is
ArginMax a drug?
ArginMax
is not a drug. It is a daily nutritional supplement. While it
is not intended for the treatment of any disease, many people
choose to take dietary supplements to maximize wellness and
to promote general health.
Why
are nutritional supplements preferable to drugs?
Nutritional
supplements take a more gradual, gentle, and natural approach.
The focus with supplements is on the optimization of health
and wellness, rather than on the treatment of disease. Drugs
are used for the treatment of disease, and tend to work by modifying
or altering specific biological pathways, sometimes in a very
powerful or unnatural manner.
Is
ArginMax an aphrodisiac?
ArginMax
has been reported to increase libido and sexual stamina. However,
it is not an aphrodisiac in the sense that it will not create
uncontrollable sexual desire, which is how many people seem
to define the word.
Why
is it important to have highly standardized extracts of botanical
products?
In
botanicals like ginseng and ginkgo, it is natural for the active
ingredients found in them to vary among different plants and
even within different parts of the same plant. It is impossible
to control these natural variations. Therefore, it is important
that standardization methods be used when these botanicals are
processed for use as dietary supplements. These standardization
methods ensure that the resulting botanical extract has consistent
levels of the active ingredients for which the botanical has
value as a dietary supplement.
Why
is ArginMax better than just supplementation with L-arginine,
ginseng, or ginkgo alone?
ArginMax
is formulated to allow these ingredients to work in concert,
resulting in a synergistic effect that exceeds the benefits
possible with any single one of these ingredients, and at a
lower dose of the individual ingredients. In addition, the Daily
Wellness Company formulates ArginMax using only highly standardized
grades of ingredients.
How
is ArginMax different from other natural products on the market
that claim they can improve sexual function?
There
is sound scientific basis for the mechanisms of action of ArginMax
as it relates to the Nitric Oxide pathway. All ingredients used
in ArginMax have a long history of human use and safety. There
is scientific validation of the benefits of ArginMax through
physician directed clinical studies published in peer reviewed
medical journals and presented at international medical forums.
There
are numerous other natural products on the market for which
the clinical data is absent, the "mystery" ingredients
are undefined, the safety is unknown, and the mechanism of action
not established. We recommend that you look at the product's
ingredient listing carefully. If the product does not clearly
state the name and amount of the ingredients in a detailed Supplement
Facts table, and if you cannot find any clinical substantiation
regarding studies on the product that is referenced in scientific
journals, be cautious.
The
Daily Wellness Company will continue to support medical research
and clinical studies to expand the scientific basis of ArginMax
and its credibility as a nutritional supplement for female Sexual
Fitness.
WHAT
WILL IT DO?
How
long before it starts to work and how long will it last?
As
a nutritional supplement, take 6 capsules total in the course
of a day. While some may feel improvement in as little as 2
weeks, use for at least 4 weeks to begin experiencing enhanced
Sexual Fitness. Continue to take 6 capsules daily to maintain
maximum results.
Why
does it take 2-4 weeks for it to work?
ArginMax
is a nutritional supplement that provides the natural biochemical
components important to support female Sexual Fitness. Because
ArginMax is not a drug, and takes a gradual, gentle, and natural
approach, a certain amount of time is required before a steady
state is reached. The length of time will vary depending on
the age and general health of the individual.
What
if I don't notice any effect?
ArginMax
will not work for everyone. In fact, no product can claim that
it will work for everyone. If you've taken ArginMax for 4 to
6 weeks at the recommended dose and have noticed no effect in
either Sexual Fitness or physical stamina, then it probably
doesn't work for you. If you have been sporadic in taking it,
we recommend that you continue until you've taken it at the
proper dosage daily for at least 4 consecutive weeks.
What
other benefits does ArginMax provide?
Along
with supporting Sexual Fitness, ArginMax may also benefit circulation
as reflected by physical stamina and endurance. ArginMax also
provides the full daily value of many key vitamins and minerals.
Supplementation with ginkgo, a key ingredient in ArginMax, has
been known to improve concentration and short-term memory. L-Arginine,
a key amino acid found in ArginMax, has been reported by the
Mayo Clinic recently to play an important role in cardiovascular
health.
HOW
DOES IT WORK?
In
general, how does it work?
ArginMax
for Female Sexual Fitness was developed based on the observation
that certain botanical extracts may facilitate the conversion
of the naturally occurring amino acid, L-Arginine, into nitric
oxide. Nitric oxide is the key (regulatory molecule) for circulation,
erection and arousal.
Can
you be more specific?
Please
see chart on How It Works.
Has
ArginMax been clinically tested in women?
Nutritional
studies are currently on-going for women. Results will be submitted
for presentation at leading medical forums. We will keep you
posted on this web site in the Nutritional Research section.
HOW DO I TAKE IT?
When
do I take it?
ArginMax
should be taken daily. The recommended serving is 6 capsules
per day, either all at once or 3 in the morning and 3 in the
evening. We recommend a course of 4 weeks minimum of daily ArginMax
for the optimal opportunity to see the full initial benefits.
What
if I stop taking it?
The
benefits and improvements you've gained from ArginMax will decline
if you discontinue taking the recommended serving on a daily
basis.
What
if I miss a day or two?
Missing
a day or two will not make a dramatic difference. If you've
forgotten to take ArginMax for a day or two, just start again
at the regular daily dose. Remember, though, that you will not
achieve optimal benefits if you take ArginMax sporadically.
What
if I don't take the full recommended serving?
People
may differ in their response to any supplement. You may try
a lower than recommended serving, but if results are less than
optimal within 2-4 weeks, you should try the recommended dose
and give that at least 4 weeks to demonstrate the benefits.
Whatever dose you end up deciding on, it's important that you
follow the directions and take a consistent dose of ArginMax
every day. Otherwise, you will be unlikely to achieve the optimal
benefits of increased Sexual Fitness and improved stamina.
Should
I take more than the recommended dose?
Taking
more than the recommended daily serving of 6 capsules per day
will not produce any additional benefits and is not recommended.
Taking large quantities of ArginMax at one time can result in
upset stomach and potentially other medical problems. It is
always prudent to consult a physician immediately if you experience
adverse medical problems from taking too much of any product.
SAFETY
ISSUES
Is
there anyone who should avoid taking ArginMax?
As
a general rule, anyone with any medical conditions including
but not limited to anyone on prescription medications, or with
a history of cancer, heart disease, stroke, migraine headaches,
renal failure, liver failure, severe allergies, or other conditions,
should consult their physician before starting on a new diet
or nutritional supplement. In addition if you are pregnant or
are nursing, you should avoid taking ArginMax or any other supplements
without the prior evaluation by a physician. Please refer to
the next section on drug interactions. ArginMax is not recommended
for anyone under 18 years of age.
Do
the ingredients in ArginMax interact with any other foods/drugs?
The
ingredients in ArginMax have a long history of use in humans
and are not known to interact in an adverse way at the recommended
dose with any foods. As a general rule, however, those taking
any prescription medications including but not limited to cardiovascular
medications, chemotherapy, antibiotics, hormone therapy, anti-clotting
medications, hypertension medications, migraine medications,
and others should consult with their physician before taking
ArginMax (the ingredient quantities are listed on the label
for you and your physician's reference) or any other nutritional
supplements. Also, if you are currently taking any of these
herbs -- Korean ginseng, Damiana, Ginkgo biloba, or the amino
acid L-Arginine -- please remember to stop taking these other
herbs, as ArginMax already already contains these ingredients.
Is
L-arginine associated with herpes outbreaks?
The
amino acid L-arginine does NOT cause transfer of herpes among
individuals, and will NOT promote herpes in someone who is not
infected. In addition, scientific studies do NOT support the
"street tale" that dietary intake of L-arginine may
be involved in activating herpes in those who are infected.
There are no medical studies demonstrating that modifying dietary
levels of L-arginine or lysine (an amino acid that competes
with L-arginine for uptake) has any effect on herpes outbreaks.
Recurrent herpes flare ups occur with such frequency that it
is impossible to establish any causal relationship between dietary
amino acids and recurrent HSV. ArginMax itself does not cause
or induce HSV. For those with herpes, it is important to be
aware that it is more likely that local factors are the cause:
sunlight, trauma (even light trauma), transient immune suppression
caused by an intercurrent viral infection, and others. This
information is based on the input of medical experts in the
area of infectious disease. Be very careful of any contradictory
information that you may find elsewhere. Always find out the
actual source of the information and their credentials before
taking any action or making any decision on it. The Internet
is notorious for official sounding/looking medical advice that
are in reality "street tales" with no medical or scientific
basis.
Is
ArginMax regulated by the FDA, and what do they and other authorities
have to say about it?
The
manufacturer complies with all product standardization and quality
control requirements prescribed by the FDA. Advertising and
efficacy claims for ArginMax are regulated by the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) and DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health Education
Act).
Can
I take ArginMax when I am pregnant or breast-feeding?
None
of the herbs, vitamins, minerals or L-arginine in ArginMax carry
any specific warnings against use among healthy pregnant or
breast feeding women. However, it is always prudent to avoid
starting any new diet or nutritional supplement regimen during
this phase of your life without the evaluation of your personal
physician.
