The scientific and medical community took notice when it was recently announced that Dr Allen, the world's leading expert on L-arginine had licensed her patented product and technologies to Synergy Worldwide, a Nutraceutical company in Provo, Utah. The L-arginine patent is the brainchild of world-renowned researcher, Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, Chief of Biomedical Research at the Glycemic Research Institute in Washington, D.C.

After 20 years of research on L-arginine, it was assumed that Dr. Allen would license her patent to a large Pharmaceutical company. Corporate and Pharmaceutical negotiations for the rights to the patent came to an abrupt halt when the decision was announced that Synergy Worldwide had been granted the rights to the L-arginine patent.

Dr. Allen's L-arginine patent is considered the breakthrough product of the Century, and is currently valued at 100 million dollars. The value of the patent was based on the unique properties of Dr. Allen's formula.

Since the Nobel Prize was awarded for Nitric Oxide/L-arginine, the Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical industries have rushed to bring L-arginine products to market. According to scientists, the problem is that no-one appears to know enough about L-arginine to produce a product that is both efficatious and safe for human use. Though L-arginine has been shown, in over 10,000 clinical studies, to provide health benefits to humans, the process for eliminating side effects has eluded formulators. Additionally, the major benefit of L-arginine appears to be the reactivation of anti-aging mechanisms, but the action required is complex, and takes precise formulating.

Dr. Allen states, "You cannot simply place L-arginine in a capsule or spray, or in a formula that does not contain the proper co-factors, and expect it to work. That won't happen. L-arginine is both dose-dependent and timing-dependent, and it is very selective about crossing the blood-brain-barrier, where it releases anti-aging-hormones."

Researchers agree that L-arginine formulas containing Lysine, sucrose, maltodextrins, and any other competing agent, does not work. L-arginine produces nitric oxide (NO), which can cause severe free radical damage. The methodology utilized in producing an L-arginine product that does not carry these side effects was developed by Dr. Allen.

When reporters asked Dr. Allen and Synergy Worldwide to reveal these processes to the medical and scientific community, they declined, stating that the process is "Proprietary, and not described in the patent." One of the processing secrets that has been disclosed by chemists working on the project, is the extraction of organic Kiwi glycosides and low glycemic carbohydrates that are then bound to L-arginine molecules.

The name of this L-arginine product is Pro Argi-9, launched mid-February 2004.

Dr. Allen serves on Synergy's Medical Advisory board along with it's chairman Dr. Jack Pfeifer, is a dynamic speaker, and works closely with Synergy Members to teach them about ProArgi-9.

Dr. Allen is married and has a daughter who is a college senior in Environmental Policy and Law. When Dr. Allen and husband Jeff are not in Washington, D.C., they can be found at their home on the De Wees barrier reef island.
