Indications
DADA, the so-called Vitamin B15, has strong lipotrophic action, supports liver function,
and reduces serum cholesterol. By its vasodilating action, DADA also enhances
peripheral muscle blood perfusion.
L-Arginine has been effective in detoxification of blood ammonia, in the improvement
of blood cell production, and the promotion of wound healing. It is one of the essential
amino acids for growth in young animals. Arginine infusions are used to correct alkalosis
in liver disease.
L-Lysine is effective in controlling Herpes simplex virus in humans, and may be valuable
in prophylaxis in outbreaks of stable virus infections.
