Arginine Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Dat

 Arginine prices an essential amino acid widely utilized in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food production, has experienced a dynamic pricing landscape influenced by several global factors. Over the past few years, arginine prices have shown volatility due to fluctuations in raw material costs, production dynamics, and shifts in market demand. Raw materials used in the production of arginine, particularly corn and sugar, play a significant role in determining its cost structure. Since these feedstocks are susceptible to climatic conditions, geopolitical events, and supply chain disruptions, any instability in their markets often translates into pricing shifts for arginine.

The global demand for arginine has grown steadily due to its increasing application in health supplements and functional foods. It is widely recognized for its role in improving cardiovascular health, enhancing athletic performance, and supporting immune function, which has driven its adoption in health-conscious consumer markets. The rising awareness of these benefits, coupled with the growing interest in preventive healthcare, has amplified the demand for arginine, thereby affecting its price trends. In regions such as North America and Europe, where consumer spending on health and wellness products continues to rise, manufacturers often adjust prices to reflect heightened demand.

On the production side, advancements in fermentation technology and cost optimization strategies have played a pivotal role in determining the price trajectory of arginine. China, as a major producer of amino acids, including arginine, has a significant influence on the global market. Chinese manufacturers often dominate due to economies of scale and government incentives, but environmental regulations and rising labor costs in the region have occasionally led to price hikes. When production capacity is expanded or stabilized, prices may see moderation. However, any disruption in Chinese production facilities, such as those caused by energy shortages or regulatory compliance issues, tends to create ripples in the global pricing landscape.

Global logistics and supply chain dynamics also significantly impact arginine pricing. Shipping delays, increased freight costs, and port congestions can lead to temporary price surges, particularly in markets reliant on imports. In addition, currency fluctuations affect the cost of raw materials and finished products, further contributing to pricing variability. For instance, a weakening of the local currency against the U.S. dollar may increase import costs for countries heavily dependent on foreign suppliers.

Regional differences in arginine pricing are evident, with Asia-Pacific generally maintaining competitive prices due to lower production costs and abundant resources. In contrast, North America and Europe often face higher prices, reflecting stringent quality standards, regulatory compliance costs, and logistical expenses. The price disparity between these regions also highlights the importance of trade agreements and tariffs, which can either ease or exacerbate cost differences.

Market competition also influences arginine pricing. The presence of multiple players vying for market share has led to competitive pricing strategies. Established companies leverage their advanced production facilities and economies of scale to offer cost-effective solutions, while smaller players often focus on niche markets with premium pricing. Innovations in product formulations and the introduction of organic or plant-based arginine variants have further diversified the pricing spectrum.

Sustainability trends are beginning to play a role in shaping the arginine market. Consumers and regulatory bodies increasingly demand environmentally friendly production methods, pushing manufacturers to adopt greener practices. While this transition may lead to higher production costs initially, the long-term benefits of aligning with sustainability goals are expected to drive competitive advantages and influence pricing strategies.

In the future, the arginine market is poised for continued growth, driven by expanding applications in diverse industries. Emerging economies, particularly in Asia and Latin America, present lucrative opportunities for market expansion, as rising disposable incomes and changing consumer preferences fuel demand for health-enhancing products. However, challenges such as fluctuating raw material costs, geopolitical tensions, and evolving regulatory landscapes will continue to impact price stability.

Overall, the pricing dynamics of arginine reflect a complex interplay of supply-side factors, demand patterns, technological advancements, and external market influences. Companies operating in this space must remain agile, monitoring market trends and adapting their strategies to navigate the intricacies of global trade and consumer expectations. As the market evolves, collaboration among stakeholders and a focus on innovation will be critical in maintaining price competitiveness while meeting the growing demand for this versatile amino acid.

By Robert Stevens

A COVID wave fuelled by the XEC variant is leading to hospitalisations throughout Britain.

According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the admission rate for patients testing positive for XEC stood at 4.5 per 100,000 people in the week to October 6—up significantly from 3.7 a week earlier. UKHSA described the spread as “alarming”.

Last week, Dr. Jamie Lopez Bernal, consultant epidemiologist at the UKHSA, noted of the spread of the new variant in Britain: “Our surveillance shows that where Covid cases are sequenced, around one in 10 are the ‘XEC’ lineage.”

The XEC variant, a combination of the KS.1.1 and KP.3.3 variants, was detected and recorded in Germany in June and has been found in at least 29 countries—including in at least 13 European nations and the 24 states within United States. According to a New Scientist article published last month, “The earliest cases of the variant occurred in Italy in May. However, these samples weren’t uploaded to an international database that tracks SARS-CoV-2 variants, called the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID), until September.”

The number of confirmed cases of XEC internationally exceeds 600 according to GISAID. This is likely an underestimation. Bhanu Bhatnagar at the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe noted that “not all countries consistently report data to GISAID, so the XEC variant is likely to be present in more countries”.

Another source, containing data up to September 28—the Outbreak.info genomic reports: scalable and dynamic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 variants and mutations—reports that there have been 1,115 XEC cases detected worldwide.

Within Europe, XEC was initially most widespread in France, accounting for around 21 percent of confirmed COVID samples. In Germany, it accounted for 15 percent of samples and 8 percent of sequenced samples, according to an assessment from Professor Francois Balloux at the University College London, cited in the New Scientist.

Within weeks of those comments the spread of XEC has been rapid. Just in Germany, it currently accounts for 43 percent of infections and is therefore predominant. Virologists estimate that XEC has around twice the growth advantage of KP.3.1.1 and will be the dominant variant in winter.

A number of articles have cited the comments made to the LA Times by Eric Topol, the Director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California. Topol warns that XEC is “just getting started”, “and that’s going to take many weeks, a couple months, before it really takes hold and starts to cause a wave. XEC is definitely taking charge. That does appear to be the next variant.”

A report in the Independent published Tuesday noted of the make-up of XEC, and its two parent subvariants: “KS.1.1 is a type of what’s commonly called a FLiRT variant. It is characterised by mutations in the building block molecules phenylalanine (F) altered to leucine (L), and arginine (R) to threonine (T) on the spike protein that the virus uses to attach to human cells.

“The second omicron subvariant KP.3.3 belongs to the category FLuQE where the amino acid glutamine (Q) is mutated to glutamic acid (E) on the spike protein, making its binding to human cells more effective.”

Covid cases are on the rise across the UK, with recent data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) indicating a 21.6 percent increase in cases in England within a week.

There is no doubt that the spread of XEC virus contributed to an increase in COVID cases and deaths in Britain. In the week to September 25, there were 2,797 reported cases—an increase of 530 from the previous week. In the week to September 20 there was a 50 percent increase in COVID-related deaths in England, with 134 fatalities reported.

According to the latest data, the North East of England is witnessing the highest rate of people being hospitalised, with 8.12 people per 100,000 requiring treatment.

Virologist Dr. Stephen Griffin of the University of Leeds has been an active communicator of the science and statistics of the virus on various public platforms and social media since the start of the pandemic. He was active in various UK government committees during the height of the COVID-19. In March 2022, he gave an interview to the World Socialist Web Site.

This week Griffin spoke to the i newspaper on the continuing danger of allowing the untrammelled spread of XEC and COVID in general. “The problem with COVID is that it evolves so quickly,” he said.

He warned, “We can either increase our immunity by making better vaccines or increasing our vaccine coverage, or we can slow the virus down with interventions, such as improving indoor air quality. But we’re not doing those things.”

“Its evolutionary rate is something like three or four times faster than that of the fastest seasonal flu. So you’ve got this constant change in the virus, which accelerates the number of susceptible people.

“It’s creating its own new pool of susceptibles every time it changes to something that’s ‘immune evasive’. Every one of these subvariants is distinct enough that a whole swathe of people are no longer immune to it and it can infect them. That’s why you see this constant undulatory pattern which doesn’t look seasonal at all.”

There are no mitigations in place in Britain, as is the case internationally, to stop the spread of this virus. Advice for those with COVID symptoms is to stay at home and limit contact with others for just five days. The National Health Service advises, “You can go back to your normal activities when you feel better or do not have a high temperature”, despite the fact that the person may well still be infectious. Families are advised that children with symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, or mild cough can still “go to school or childcare' if they feel well enough.

The detection and rapid spread of new variants disproves the lies of governments that the pandemic is long over and COVID-19 should be treated no differently to influenza.

Deaths due to COVID in the UK rose above 244,000 by the end of September. It is only a matter of time before an even deadlier variant emerges. Last month, Sir Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, told the ongoing public inquiry into COVID-19 “We have to assume a future pandemic on this scale [the global pandemic which began in 2020] will occur… That’s a certainty.”

u know, i like watching people fight about politics online. but i grow so tired of it

these people say shit like "oh, im not even trying to convince people i arginine with anymore, i just wanna show others how stupid they are!"

girl. some of uve been running ur blogs for more than a decade arguing same five points. writing pages upon pages of responses per day, at times. i really think there's one more stupid person u didn't account for

get into woodworking or something, this shit is JOYLESS

That part. The one positive about news and politics now becoming Entertainment is that more and more people are aware of what's going on. That's good. But they also need to learn that the internet is not ever the place to argue about politics like 95.9% of the time tbh. I think serious debates like that are better had in person; you lose nuance and patience when you're typing on a keyboard and it just devolves into trolling or arguing for the sake of arguing.

Trying to change someone's mind about politics online is like trying to convert a person to another religion through youtube comments.

I have a request for you! A Lackadaisy x Pokemon request!

Basically a Espeon!Reader falls into the Lackadaisy universe, let's say during the pilot episode? She has no clue what's going on, but seeing how Rocky, Freckle, and Ivy were in trouble, she uses her psyhic powers to save them and escapes with them. Her actions, along with her exotic looks, ends up catching the attention of a certain glasses wearing black cat called Mordecai.

Lackadaisy is a new fandom that I got in to so I hope I be getting requests for it. Me and the requester talked and we decided to add some things to it so the extra things that weren’t in the request is from us chatting and making sure we got everything all good, just wanted to say that to clear up any confusion you might have! 😁

The requester had also inform me that mordecai is asexual but for this he can be any sexuality as there are many, I know there might be some people not liking when other people change the sexuality of a character and I’m sorry for that but I like modecai romantically and so I made it a au where he has a different sexuality, if you don’t like that then you can leave, plus this is fanfiction so there would most likely be au in some if not most along with how how fanfiction will most likely have different dialogs with the reader, oc, or when someone ships a character with another character and need a way to get them in love with one another so please don’t post hate on this as you can leave it alone if you don’t like it, thank you.

I also don’t know some of the characters accents so i hope i do a acceptable job on it from what i could hear in the pilot and comics, i also don’t know the slang that are from the 1920’s times but I’m hoping to go do some research and hopefully make this come out as almost accurate to the times it’s set place, s wish me luck 😅, though, of course when I do use them it’ll be for the lackadaisy characters that are involved, the reader will most likely have a bit more modern type of outlook as she will be born in the modern times of the Pokémon games we know of.

Warning: noob author, female reader, gang fights, violence, au, and others.

Characters: mordecai, zib, Viktor, nico, one-sided!asa sweet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were just walking down the path to your den after visiting your sisters, who’re the other 8 eevee evolution sept for the youngest who is still an eevee named eve, you decided to take a detour to get to a field that had some beautiful flowers and tasty berries that you can grab for some dinner.

You guess you weren’t paying attention to the ground as you tripped and fallen into the neck length tall grass and tumbled down which made you dizzy.

When you got back up on your feet and noticed how far away the ground is and that the grass doesn’t come to your neck like it usually does when you come here, some occasions a herd of herbivore pokemon would com in and shorten the grass but you know that you didn’t tumble down for that to happen so fast.

You looked down at your paws to only see them more human-like but still have paw like features like claws that seem to not want to retract.

You also have on clothes like a human would, the type of clothes is (c/c) (choice/of/clothes) that is of a past time period, how you know this is because you had came across on one of your adventure to the human territory that is known as cities/towns.

You heard muffled voices behind you which made you look and see through the tree line and see two feline beings that didn’t look like any pokemon you know, one did seem to have a arginine like pattern on their form, the other seemed to have dark fur, at least as dark as a kitten but with out the red details.

You’re guessing that this is a cemetery with how the two seemed to be digging up a coffin from a grave with how many tombstones there is laced out.

You heard a sudden voice which made you jump in surprise as you didn’t expect there to be a third party with the two though that sudden surprise had made you step on a twig which alerted the two that was on the ground.

The two looked in your direction in a frightened state which made you guilty so you slowly came out in the tree line and into the open.

“Sorry to have frightened you, you see, it would seem I’m a bit los-” ……… you had accidentally tripped over what you could guess was a big root.

“What is with me and tripping today~….” You groaned out in embarrassment and defeat at the clumsiness that doesn’t usually come out this frequent, especially around other beings that is watching you.

“Let me help you miss! I’m rocky!! This here is my cousin Calvin but I like to call him freckles and over there is my good friend ivy pepper! What’s your name pretty miss?!” This ‘rocky’ fellow came out of nowhere and introduced himself, his cousin, and his female friend.

“O-oh! Um…. Hello, my name is (Y/n). I’m kinda lost you see and I don’t know where I am or how I can get home from here….” You explained.

“Have no fear dear damsel in distress! We shall help you to beloved abode!”

“ROCKY!” A sudden whisper yell that came from ivy which made both you and rocky look at her in confusion. “If you don’t remember, we’re in a middle of doing something right now!”

“Ahh!~ and we’ll do it after we bring the madame to her home safe as a daisy!”

“I don’t mind waiting until you you get done….. with whatever it was you were doing, I’m not in any rush really.”

“Ok! You can come with us to the little daisy cafe after we’re done! We do need more costumers for miss M so this would be great!” Rocky says upbeat and loud which made the two with him ‘shh’ him.

“What exactly are you doing here? If you don’t mind me asking, maybe I could help you with it.” You questioned them as you haven’t the faintest idea of what their doing here disturbing the dead and hopefully they have a good reason to as you don’t know and don’t want to find out about any ghosts being here like there is in some places as that’s usually where deadly ghost types resides at as it’s their main territory.

“Oh! We’re getting booze from this coffin for the lackadaisy clu-” before he could finish ivy covered his mouth with her hand but you’ve already figured out what their doing with how much he said.

“Lackadaisy club? What’s that?” Ivy sighed and let go of Rocky after you said that already knowing you pieces together the finishing of the word Rocky was about to say.

“It’s a club for allies of little daisy cafe that was founded by atlas may which is now in the hands of his wife after his passing.” Ivy explained while glaring at Rocky for your guessing of giving it away to a complete stranger, aka, you.

“Oh.” Is all you said.

“Well, seeing as you already know this much information, why don’t you join the staff?!”

“You can’t just ask her that, Rocky!” Ivy scolds Rocky.

“Oooh~ what’s the harm? We need more staff for little daisy cafe and lackadaisy, plus she already know what we’re doing here so why not?!” Rocky tries to convince Ivy as both you and the quiet boy who’s name is Calvin look at each other and nervously smile at each other as the other two continue to talk.

“Fine! But don’t drag me and Calvin in with you if you get in trouble for bringing her.” Ivy says while crossing her arms and looking away from Rocky in a mad way.

“Uh, Rocky I think I found-” Rocky came down to where Calvin was interrupting him when he was talking in the process.

“Is that it?” Ivy asks.

“Well, it it isn’t then we’d have an awkward explaining to do to the family of uuuh…. Herman hapfamschfeel?”

You just stayed quiet as you still didn’t fully know what was going on and you also didn’t know how to pronounce that name either so you couldn’t really help at the moment.

(I’m going to speed this along a little right here.)

We are now driving away to save our lives.

The coffin indeed had booze in it and while we were putting the in the container that these three had in their…..car? Whatever they called it back in the day, until one dropped, surprisingly didn’t get destroyed, Rocky and Calvin were trying to find it in the dark until Ivy went and grabbed her flashlight, though some shed of light did come from another car like thing which scared both you and Ivy but the two didn’t notice until you and Ivy yelped and started heading into the car like contraption.

The passenger side car door opened and all of you were now being shot at by whoever got out of that car.

Ivy reversed the car making it go backwards as all four of you panicked as more shots were being fired.

It took a while for Rocky and Calvin to get in but thankfully they got in safely without getting shot.

Ivy was still going in reverse which ended the car close to the water of a not so deep pond.

Ivy was able to turn the car around to the correct way and started driving on the dirt path that was under the bridge before gassing it.

The door to the back was still opened with Calvin hanging onto it though Rocky was able to drag him in and shut the door in the process which made you breath a sigh of relief.

You were still processing all that’s happening so you don’t notice what was going on in back sit with Rocky and Calvin.

Though you tuned back in when Rocky was holding on to the case that had the booze in it.

“What’s going on back there?!” Both you and Ivy asks in worry.

You hear gun shots which made you look back to see Calvin shooting at the car that was attacking you guys.

“I’m going to help them.” You said as you try and get yourself in the backseat.

“What?! Are you crazy?!” Ivy yells but you continue on.

You help Rocky get back in and he turned Calvin to the back door window.

“Breaks!” Ivy hit the breaks as she was told as you hold on to something.

Calvin continues to shoot at the car following you guys as it’s now on the side of the car you’re all in.

Calvin had shot one of their tires which made them get off the road though you saw one of them get out of it.

You get on top of the roof of the car so you can have more room. Hopefully the stores of psychic power you have would be enough to distract them from following you further and would work still in the night even if it’s a little.

You decided to use psybeam as it results in confusion so maybe it will do the same to them even though their not a Pokémon.

Mordecai, the one who got out of his and his colleagues car watch as one of the cats get out of the car he and his colleagues were following wondering what the cat was going to do but was shocked to see a pink beam come out of what would be the cat’s forehead.

Once the beam hit it brought him in confusion and dizziness.

You quickly got back in as Rocky got Ivy to turn left into…. Somewhere, the car crashed into some kind of warehouse that was most likely used for work.

Rocky got out of the car as you make sure Calvin and Ivy were ok and not hurt…. As much.

You watch in confusion and worry as Rocky got up and started laughing for whatever reason you didn’t know before swinging open a door that was apart of the warehouse and exit out of it.

You got out of the care with careful steps as you hadn’t processed what was going on still and only did what you could think of which was sit and calm your breathing and rushing heart so you could focus more on what’s happening and what might happen next and to process all that’s already happened, and while doing that Ivy and Calvin talked which you haven’t focused on yet until Calvin said something about the engine compartment of the car which was making smoke.

You sadly couldn’t help much as you don’t know how to fix anything like a vehicle and you don’t have the moves or typing for it.

You look around for something that might help y’all.

(I’m going to speed things along again as it’s already pretty long and I still need to do get some more stuff typed in for the request.)

Calvin had gone out to throw them away as you and Ivy stayed with the car.

Ivy had spotted a shadow of someone coming closer to where you two were which made you go to the door which had another person in y’all’s path.

“Well, hi cutie.” The guy complimented while greeting which made you blush as you don’t get complimented much but quickly brought back to shut the door with Ivy and hid underneath the car.

The two are now right next to the car as you two try to stay quiet, the female of the two said something that sounded almost kalosian.

Explosions were heard which brought the two’s attention onto that thankfully.

Calvin had found you two as what you could guess Rocky was setting the explosions; you held the two close so as to protect them from any possible sneak attacks that might happen.

Ivy asked what happened as you and her helped hold Calvin up as he held his head which made you focus on the wound you notice he has.

He just said his cousin name as the cat in question passed by laughing like a maniac.

“Here let me help with that wound of yours.” You gestured calvin to get a little closer so you can see the damage more.

“Don’t freak out at what I’m about to do, ok?” Ivy and calvin looked at you in confusion as you get ready to use morning sun, a move that heals.

a soft glow like it would in the day came and the wound is healed as good as new and like it wasn’t there and didn’t happen

“H-how?” Both question as you just smile softly while saying nothing.

More explosions happened as you and Ivy helped Calvin as he’s still recovering from whatever had happened to him while he was away from you two though when y’all looked up y’all see rushing water coming which made y’all hurry back inside to avoid it and not to get wet.

You three got into the car and exit out of the way y’all came through. Ivy came across a muddy rocky and slowed down so he could get in before driving faster to get out of there.

You and Ivy both look back to see one of the ones after y’all until you two see that he wasn’t aiming to shoot anymore.

All of you finally made it to where these three were originally headed to after they had finished their errand.

You see four cats, three male, one female, you were behind Rocky so they couldn’t see you with his tall form in the way.

You awkwardly waited as the four paid attention to Rocky, Calvin, and Ivy as you didn’t exactly know what to do as you’re mostly used to your family and only ever talked to a stranger is if it was necessary plus you thought it might be rude to interrupt now.

It took a while fire the four to notice you as they were paying attention to the booze and the three you came in with.

“Um, before you two start your jazz, do you mind introducing us to your friend over there?”

You were looking at your shows that came with you when you were transported to this world before looking up at what the man with the blue eyes slicked back…. Fur? Hair? You’re just going to go with hair but anyway you awkwardly wave while smiling nervously before greeting in a small voice feeling anxiety creep up you at the attention being on you.”

“Um, h-hello…”

“Who might you be, sweetie?” The she-cat questioned.

“I’m (Y/n), and I was found by those three while they were doing their errand, you see, I had gotten lost somehow when I was in my favorite field and had tumbled down, and the next thing I knew I was somewhere entirely different and had found them doing the errand which leaded me to joining them, if you’d like for me to leave then I’ll leave, sorry to bother you by the way.

After some more talk and a few hours of getting to know them and showing them that what you’ve said was true by doing some of the moves you had learned as you grew and gotten stronger, you finally have a job at the little daisy cafe and at the lackadaisy club.

One night the two out of three that was there when you first came to this world came and snuck into the lackadaisy club to steal some of their stuff but ended up catching you in the midst of singing as it was apart of your new job there.

You waited tables at both lackadaisy and little daisy while sing at the club, you only knew the songs from your world so that brought in some customers which was great for business.

Though what you and the others didn’t know was that two people that works for the marigold was her to steal things for asa sweet the boss of marigold.

“She sure can sing! And isn’t she also the one with those three?” Nico questioned after looking more close at the she-cat after noticing a sense of familiarity of her.

“Hm, yes, indeed she is a good singer and yes she was there with those lackadaisy, but need I remind you what we’re here for?” Mordecai questioned as he shifted his gaze from you to his colleague, nico, who put his paws up in surrender before the two went and begin what they had came there for.

While you were singing to wick’s guest and other costumers that had came and mordecai was stealing from lackadaisy with nico on the look out it would seem some other people decided to follow and attack the car that destroyed their farm that helps them make alcohol for them to sell, they had attacked victor while rocky went to get some help unloading the automobile.

When you were inform about the situation it was already too late to stop viktor from getting his injury though you hurry and went to him as you may be able to heal him even if it’s just the wound and not the pain that had came with the injury.

You had gotten to where Mitzi, ivy, zip and the band, and the doctor was and began using morning sun to heal viktor, they were all shocked to see what you were doing but kept quiet so you could concentrate on the task at hand, though ivy was less shocked but still shocked as she still couldn’t believe you have powers that could heal and possibly do more with it.

Mitzi was astonished at how you have powers and hoped that you would still stay with them as this could help them save money from having to use the doctor that was there with you all right now and you’d be a good ally than a enemy.

Zip was shocked but not as much as you would think as he thought there might be something about you that you were hiding from them but now understood why as this could have anyone with bad intentions use you for their benefits.

Viktor was woozy and couldn’t focus on a thing sept for the red glowing gem that was on your forehead but when he was back at his home and was able to comprehend what had happened he in his own way said thank you though he also made sure you were alone so no one could her him and even if you told anyone no one but maybe mitzi would believe you.

After that happened plus paying some visits to him with ivy Mitzi had called you to come with her, rocky, and freckles to meet with a friend of her late husband and hers.

You, rocky, and freckles were introduced to as a and the other cat named mordecai who reminds of that cat that didn’t shoot at you and your new friends, you been trying to sneak a few glances at different times.

Asa had creeped you out especially with his flirtatious ways and the way he would look at you which brought the protectiveness of rocky, freckles, and surprisingly Mitzi, she had grown to like you as a sister would and rocky, and freckles grown to like as a older sister would and the same goes for ivy as well.

Mordecai had noticed your glance but didn’t question it as he guessed he understand why you were glancing at him at times as it would seem you recognized him or felt a familiarity from him

(A/n: hope you like it!! I’m sorry that the last bit was kind short, i just wanted to hurry and get it done so the requester could finally see it, reason why it’s took so long is because i procrastinated as i was thinking idea for a possible book for this lovely fandom and also cause i was busy with work and i had went and visited my aunt, plus i was trying to draw a oc inspired by this request because it interested me but sadly i couldn’t get the oc how i wanted yet, but anyway hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!!)

Cancer is one of the prominent causes of death globally, and discovering new methods to prevent and cure it is important for public health. Understanding the particular nutrients that cancer cells require is one of the strategies researchers are investigating to fight the disease.

Arginine is one of the important amino acids produced by our bodies naturally, and it is also abundantly found in food sources such as fish, meat, and nuts. According to the research published in Science Advances, cancer cells also need arginine to survive. It is possible to make tumors more susceptible to the body’s natural immune system and improve the effectiveness of treatment by depriving them of this nutrient.

The lack of this amino acid, which the researchers discovered to exist in various types of human cancers, forces the cancer cells to adapt. Cancer cells alter specific proteins to improve their ability to absorb arginine and other amino acids when their levels of that amino acid fall. Amazingly, these cells also induce mutations that lessen their reliance on arginine in an effort to keep growing.

A new paper published October 26th discusses NO’s potential in ameliorating SARS-CoV-2/Spike associated inflammation and thrombosis. One from 2005 shows we already knew some of this.

DETA-NO inhibits the binding of the recombinant Gamma variant of SARS-CoV-2 spike to A549-ACE2 cells. (A) Cells (5 × 105) were incubated with 2 mM DETA-NO for 15 min, followed by incubation with the indicated concentrations of spike and DETA-NO for another 45 min. The viability was determined by DAPI staining. (B,C) The dose-dependent binding of the Gamma variant of the spike to A549-ACE2 cells was determined by flow cytometry. The results are shown as mean FITC (B) or percentage of binding inhibition (C). (D) Representative histogram plots of the fluorescence of the spike protein bound to the A549-ACE2 cells. The results show the mean ± S.D. of 4 independent experiments (B,C); * p < 0.05 vs. the control condition. ns: not significant. 

As we have discussed many times in this Substack, it would appear that preventing the Spike from entering cells and ameliorating inflammation caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus are paramount in protecting not only one’s organs but also one’s very own genetic code. To that end, I have continuously searched for natural therapies which may assist us. Nature has yet another weapon to add to our prodigious arsenal against this virus and its malevolent protein: Nitric Oxide. 

First and foremost, Nitric Oxide is a guardian of the Endothelium. 

The vascular endothelium is a monolayer of cells between the vessel lumen and the vascular smooth muscle cells. Nitric oxide (NO) is a soluble gas continuously synthesized from the amino acid L-arginine in endothelial cells by the constitutive calcium-calmodulin-dependent enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS). This substance has a wide range of biological properties that maintain vascular homeostasis, including modulation of vascular dilator tone, regulation of local cell growth, and protection of the vessel from injurious consequences of platelets and cells circulating in blood, playing in this way a crucial role in the normal endothelial function.

Arginine stimulates collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Collagen helps to plump up the skin, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, arginine improves blood circulation, ensuring that the skin receives an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen. This promotes healthy cell turnover and rejuvenation, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Moreover, arginine acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the skin from harmful free radicals that contribute to premature aging. By neutralizing these damaging molecules, arginine helps to prevent the formation of new wrinkles and minimizes existing ones. Overall, incorporating arginine into skincare routines can effectively combat wrinkles and promote a more youthful complexion.

Arginine Prices | Pricing | Trend | News | Database | Chart | Forecast

 Arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, has gained popularity for its numerous health benefits, particularly in sports nutrition and cardiovascular health. As awareness of its advantages grows, so does the demand for arginine supplements. Consequently, arginine prices have become a topic of interest for consumers, health enthusiasts, and industry stakeholders alike. Understanding the factors influencing arginine prices is essential for making informed purchasing decisions.

One of the primary factors affecting arginine prices is the source of the amino acid. Arginine can be derived from various sources, including animal proteins, plant-based proteins, and through synthetic manufacturing processes. Animal-derived arginine, typically found in supplements made from sources like gelatin, tends to be more expensive due to the higher costs associated with animal farming and processing. Conversely, plant-based arginine, often sourced from nuts and seeds, may offer a more cost-effective alternative, reflecting the growing trend towards plant-based nutrition. Additionally, synthetic production methods can vary in cost, impacting the final retail price of arginine supplements.

Another significant factor influencing arginine prices is the purity and quality of the product. Consumers are increasingly seeking high-quality supplements, which often come with a higher price tag. Manufacturers that invest in rigorous testing and quality assurance practices tend to produce purer forms of arginine, such as L-arginine or arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, which are more desirable for consumers. The cost of these quality control measures is typically passed on to the consumer, resulting in higher prices for premium arginine products.

The formulation of arginine supplements also plays a role in determining prices. Many products on the market combine arginine with other ingredients to enhance its efficacy or provide additional health benefits. For instance, arginine may be combined with citrulline, another amino acid known for its potential benefits in enhancing blood flow and athletic performance. While these combination products can offer consumers added value, they often come at a higher price point due to the inclusion of multiple active ingredients.

Market dynamics also impact arginine prices. Supply chain fluctuations, including the availability of raw materials and transportation costs, can significantly affect pricing. The global market for amino acids, including arginine, has experienced various challenges, from trade tariffs to supply chain disruptions, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. These external factors can lead to price volatility, making it essential for consumers to stay informed about market trends and potential price changes.

Moreover, consumer preferences and trends influence arginine pricing. The rise in popularity of fitness and health supplements has created a competitive market, driving manufacturers to differentiate their products through branding, packaging, and marketing strategies. This competition can lead to a broader range of pricing options, from budget-friendly to premium products, allowing consumers to choose based on their needs and preferences. As consumers become more educated about the benefits of arginine, their willingness to invest in high-quality supplements may also lead to increased prices for those products that emphasize purity and efficacy.

Regulatory factors can also impact arginine prices. In many countries, dietary supplements are subject to regulations that require manufacturers to adhere to specific quality standards. Compliance with these regulations often involves additional costs, which can be reflected in the final retail price. Furthermore, variations in regulations between countries can create discrepancies in arginine pricing on a global scale. Consumers should be aware of these differences when considering purchasing arginine supplements from international sources, as they may encounter varying price points based on the regulatory environment.

Consumer awareness and education have become increasingly important in shaping arginine pricing. As more individuals seek information about the health benefits of arginine, they may prioritize products with reputable certifications or endorsements from health professionals. This emphasis on quality and safety can drive prices higher, particularly for brands that invest in obtaining third-party certifications or conducting clinical trials to validate their claims.

In addition to these factors, seasonal trends may also play a role in arginine pricing. Certain times of the year, such as the start of the new year when fitness resolutions are common, may see increased demand for supplements like arginine. This spike in demand can lead to temporary price increases, as retailers and manufacturers adjust their pricing strategies to accommodate consumer interest. Understanding these seasonal fluctuations can help consumers navigate the market effectively and identify the best times to purchase arginine supplements at competitive prices.

Lastly, e-commerce has transformed the way consumers access arginine supplements, impacting pricing strategies. Online retailers often offer a wider variety of products, allowing consumers to compare prices easily and make informed decisions. However, shipping costs and online exclusives may also influence final pricing. Consumers should be mindful of these additional factors when shopping for arginine supplements online, as they can significantly affect the overall cost of their purchases.

In conclusion, arginine prices are influenced by a multitude of factors, ranging from the source and quality of the amino acid to market dynamics and consumer trends. Understanding these influences can empower consumers to make informed choices about their arginine supplement purchases. By staying informed about market trends and potential price fluctuations, individuals can ensure they are getting the best value for their investment in this essential amino acid. As the demand for arginine continues to grow, monitoring pricing dynamics will remain crucial for both consumers and industry stakeholders in the evolving landscape of dietary supplements.

Medical News: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, new research highlights a startling link between the virus and metabolic disorders. A study conducted at the "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Timisoara, Romania, reveals how COVID-19 can trigger insulin resistance, even in individuals with no prior history of diabetes. This development sheds light on the long-term metabolic consequences of the virus, raising concerns for millions of COVID-19 survivors worldwide.

The research team focused on understanding the relationship between long COVID-19 syndrome and metabolic disruptions. This Medical News report aims to make their findings accessible to a wider audience, emphasizing the risks associated with the virus's lingering effects.

The Study: Design and Key Findings This prospective observational study included 143 non-diabetic individuals who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 between January 2020 and December 2022. Participants underwent evaluations at the time of hospital admission, and follow-ups were conducted four and twelve months later. Researchers measured fasting glucose, insulin, and C-peptide levels using intravenous arginine stimulation tests, along with body mass index (BMI) and inflammatory markers like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

Key findings from the study include: -Insulin Resistance and Long COVID: Approximately 30.7% of the participants developed long COVID-19 syndrome. Of these, 75% exhibited insulin resistance and eventually developed diabetes within one year, compared to 55.8% of those without long COVID-19.

-Impact of Obesity: Among obese participants (BMI > 30 kg/m²), 62% experienced elevated blood glucose levels a year post-infection.

Surprisingly, obesity rates did not differ significantly between those with and without long COVID-19, suggesting that other factors, such as chronic inflammation, play a pivotal role.

-Inflammatory Markers and Metabolic Disturbances: Elevated hs-CRP and ESR levels correlated with insulin resistance, highlighting the role of inflammation in disrupting metabolic health.

However, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, another marker of insulin resistance, showed weaker correlations, pointing to the complexity of the underlying mechanisms.

Chronic Inflammation: A Central Culprit The study underscores the role of chronic inflammation in the development of insulin resistance among COVID-19 survivors. Prolonged activation of the immune system, potentially triggered by viral remnants or autoimmune responses, can interfere with insulin signaling. This disruption leads to poor glucose absorption by cells, resulting in elevated blood sugar le vels.

The virus's ability to infect pancreatic beta cells, which are crucial for insulin production, exacerbates this problem. By binding to ACE2 receptors on these cells, SARS-CoV-2 can impair their function, causing a decline in insulin secretion. This interplay of inflammation and cellular damage creates a perfect storm for the onset of metabolic disorders.

Implications for Public Health and Patient Care The findings highlight the urgent need for healthcare systems to prioritize monitoring metabolic health in COVID-19 survivors, especially those with long COVID-19 syndrome. Routine screenings for insulin resistance, glucose levels, and inflammatory markers could help identify at-risk individuals early, enabling timely interventions.

For patients, adopting a healthier lifestyle becomes more critical than ever. Weight management, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can help mitigate the risk of developing insulin resistance and other metabolic complications.

Future Directions in Research and Treatment The study opens the door for further investigations into the molecular mechanisms linking COVID-19 to insulin resistance. Understanding these pathways could pave the way for targeted therapies to prevent or reverse metabolic damage. Potential treatments might include anti-inflammatory drugs, insulin-sensitizing medications, and advanced glucose-lowering therapies like SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Moreover, ongoing trials, such as the DARE trial examining dapagliflozin's efficacy in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, may offer insights into how existing diabetes treatments can benefit long COVID-19 sufferers.

Conclusion This research highlights a concerning connection between COVID-19 and insulin resistance, even in individuals without prior metabolic conditions. The long-term implications of this link extend beyond the immediate health crisis, signaling a potential wave of diabetes cases in the years to come. As healthcare providers and researchers grapple with these findings, a comprehensive approach addressing both respiratory and metabolic health will be crucial.

The study findings were published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Personalized Medicine. www.mdpi.com/2075-4426/14/9/911

When Roy was forced to become an Argonian, Alex was one of the first to help her get used to it. Between shopping for some new--albeit a bit formfitting--clothes and helping her out, it seemed like Alex was falling head over heels for the milf-coded lizard. So when he saw her with her shirt off and a bra on, there was no stopping him as he wanted to make her his

@alphonso-p-spain

" What are you staring at? There just tits~" the arginine teased. Well, this might have been an interesting change of life for roy, but at least it wasn't so bad. She at least had Alex to help her out. Plus he was just so fun to tease.

She would pretend to not notice, but she could always see him peering at her new assets from the corner of her eyes. it was kinda hard not to notice.

Leaning over roy cupped her chest. She jiggled her tits around infront of Alex's face, taunting him. " hehehe, you wanna fuck these dumb tits hu? Of course you do. You've always loved the thicker ladies hu?~"

Resurge Supplement Reviews-Resurge Supplement Ingredients

Resurge The Godzilla Offers is a blend of natural products that are useful for losing weight, increasing metabolism, boosting the immune system and relieving stress.

Fight against problems that in one way or another are related to weight gain. It is manufactured in the USA and approved by the Food and Drug Administration FDA.

Resurge is made with all-natural products encapsulated in easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules. The synergistic effect of all the ingredients combined is immense as the properties of each one are focused on the objective, to help you get a deep sleep. The ingredients used are:

Melatonin: Helps you fall asleep faster and stay soundly asleep for longer as a child.

Ashwagandha: Helps reduce stress and anxiety and induces a more relaxed state.

Hydroxytryptophan: improves the effect of melatonin for deep sleep.

L-Theanine: improves deep sleep while reducing anxiety levels and relaxing the resting heart rate.

Magnesium and Zinc: The combined effect of the formula helps improve the quality and ease of sleep, as well as morning alertness.

Arginine and Lysine: These ingredients help increase HIGH levels in the body, stimulating the regeneration process that occurs during deep sleep.

All of the above ingredients have their own special powers to restore sleep, burn fat, activate metabolism and the immune system, reverse aging, and heal the body in general. However, the Resurge weight loss supplement that is sold to today's customers is a much more evolved version.

Resurge customer review reveals that users were indeed very satisfied.

According to Daily Wellness Pro, Resurge pills have one simple goal, to speed up metabolic function. This is crucial because your metabolism slows down as you age. This lazy metabolism can't burn fat at the proper rate, which is what leads to weight gain in the first place, as well as causing all the difficulty in getting rid of those extra pounds.

When the fat you eat doesn't melt, it accumulates into reserves that your body can be proud of. Obviously, this accumulated fat is nothing if not difficult to eliminate. Likewise, slow digestion is slow when it comes to consumption and the new fat you ingest.

To solve this problem, this supplement works to speed up your metabolism to the ideal level. This encourages weight loss as your body begins to burn fat naturally. Slowly, as these piles of fat melt away, you will begin to notice an improvement in your weight.

Optimal metabolism also makes you more active as all bodily activities speed up. Fat melting also improves your energy levels, which can be considered another benefit of active metabolism thanks to this supplement.

If you're looking for a better night's sleep, don't waste time.

The mask is made with 100% cotton and is designed to be "featherlight" and adhere to the contours of your face for optimal absorption. There's lots of essence and the mask is saturated. After using, it's important to point out, this mask does have artificial and natural fragrances. And in fact, the only irritant in the ingredients is fragrance. Due to the level of betaine, I found this mask to be very moisturizing and nourishing, it was also quite refreshing and the quality is very nice. Slightly nicer than their Real Squeeze mask series. The fragrance is in my opinion pretty standard so I feel that if you have used a mask with that scent without issue then using something similar won't be a problem. I didn't notice any irritation or discomfort, I thought the mask was comfortable. I'd recommend this to anyone with dry skin and to people with aging skin.

What I like: this mask is really moisturizing and really nourishing, it really does a good job of taking care of my skin without irritation. I think it's suitable for people with dry skin and aging skin. There are many good ingredients and few irritants. What I don't like: fragrance.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Hydrating

Nourishing

Refreshing

Nice ingredient list

Comfortable

Cons:

Fragrance

Would I buy again?

Yes

Rating: 8/10

My Infertility Journey: Part 4

Yeah, future me needs to go in the past and tell past me to not be crazy. Well, they have not arrived yet-part four starts. The sooner I get in the drivers seat the sooner I park my car in the winners circle I hope....Just hopping on late? Here is Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. 

August 2022: 

A week after the ERA comes a cycle. This is highly unusual as it does not normally come that soon. Second half of the month is the start of round 4. Initial ultrasound and bloodwork scheduled to see if the body is on the starting line. Now let’s talk about the definition of insanity, it is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Based on the ERA, I am perfectly fine and we have been doing this with proper timing-so initially they said we are going to move forward with no changes. At consultation, they mentioned adding Intralipids-IV injected twice during the process. I am open to this idea, more than the anti-coagulants, because I think my body can only handle so many injections. I only have two more embryos at this point, and while I want to make sure they have the best odds of sucess-there are physical limitations of being...ya know...human? 

The results from the blood work came back, my hormones were too high. So they are having me wait and we will reassess on next cycle. I am happy that this news came from the doctor, I felt like it was better to wait and give the body a break. But for some reason, it felt like it would not have as much credence as it does coming from the doctor backed by “data”. I am looking forward to my break and plan on getting a family trip to Havasu in before my next cycle. PARTAY! No but otherwise this is a great time to hunker down and see if I can’t get some good training in for game day. Using muscle stims, heat, massage, and exercise to promote healing of the area. Maintaining diet and exercise to see if I can’t lose anymore weight before then. 

September 2022: 

Have I ever mentioned how much of this process is PLAYING THE WAITING GAME? But waiting has its own perks. So far just waiting for a cycle to come, estimated to come around the middle of the month according to P Tracker, and see if hormone levels are good enough to move forward. Also, I am (heavily) playing with the idea of implanting two instead of just one. My own doctor says the odds are better with just one, but I have heard a lot of other doctors/patients have success with 2. Part of me really likes the idea of implanting both and having this be the last round, for better or for worse. We will see what the doctor says. 

So my body decided to get stuck in “period limbo” this cycle. I get all the feels but none of the results. Doctor did a “wellness check” on me and decided to reset my cycle with a week’s worth of Birth Control. Then we are going to move on the next cycle. I picked up my prescription and then took them, one a day, for a week. My doctor puts me on Enskyce, and man I usually get all of the side effects: migraines, nausea, and lack of energy. 

October 2022: 

Body goes into cycle and then on Cycle Day 5, we went in for an appointment. Ultrasound and bloodwork looked good, we updated my thyroid panel as well. Now starts injections and the new element this time-intralipids. They are to be done at a third party facility, Oso Home Care in Irvine, in week 4 (before transfer) and after transfer. I am (attempting) to schedule an appointment with Oso Home Care after my next Ultrasound/Bloodwork appointment with Fertility Care in Brea. Ya know the one appointment(s) before implant. It is kind of crazy how much happens in a month. 

Drugs: EV (Estradiol Valerate), Dex (Dexamethasone), P4 (Progesterone), hCG, Valium, Doxy (Doxycycline Hyclate), Medrol (methylprednisolone),

Vitamins: Baby Aspirin, Prenatal vitamins (NAC, Prenatal, Omega 3, L Arginine, Coq10, Myo Inositol, D3)

Suggestions: Keto diet/Fasting, Exercise, Proper Injection Guidelines.

Price: $5,000+ (Fertility Care), $100+ (MDR Pharmacy), $550 (Oso Home Care), 

Here are some Injection Guidelines:

Before: Ice the area

During: Inject the right area, Massage it after

After: Walk it off a bit, Use a heating pad

In Between: Arnica, Massaging to promote healing

Check: Infection (red, raised/bumpy, burning, itchy)

Note: Injections are intramuscular, and depending on the injection, there are only so many spots you can inject. Just because there are other muscles, does not mean you can use them even if your areas are “out of commission”. You just gotta keep them in commission!

The phone tag that was had was fun by all? Honestly as much as this is not my first rodeo and this should not worry me, the intralipids worry me a bit. Really the scheduling process being the slowest thing ever doesn’t help anything either. Be careful when doing research too, it is not always as helpful as you would think to know what you are signing up for. Also, the slow time between the first and second appointment where there is only an injection every 3 days is lovely. So I barely got my appointment for the intralipid place, if I did not call, that might not have happened. Then went in for the next ultrasound, the last one before implant. Ultrasound was good and blood work was TBD. 

This starts the next phase of the process. From here we add 4 hCG shots, add 2 times a day of p4, and continue with EV every 3 days. Also, for the hCG...the first injection has to be in the back area, but the smaller ones can go in the stomach to give the back a bit of a break. Round one of the Intralipids happens. The dexamethasone comes off the schedule just before implant-a couple of meds get added for a couple days around implant. Implant happens, this time it will be a boy (currently between the names Roland and Kai). After implant it is suggested for up to 3 days of rest. Then we move into November (after playing the waiting game) to confirm the pregnancy. 

Oso Home Care...Intralipids: Its a cute little place in Irvine. Kind of disorganized and busy but it would seem a lot people go to a facility like this. I got there early. I spent 2.5 hours in the chair. Yeah, kind of a long time. The gals that work there are sweet, but I don’t like how they had to prick both my arms to get it to work. I felt strange after? I am not sure how I was supposed to feel. Based on when I left and where home is, it took an hour to get home. But I hope in the future that since I am already in the system that booking is easier, and I kind of have a better idea of what to expect. Dress comfortable, don’t bring a book. 

Ovation Fertility...Implant: I always forget COVID never stopped being a reality for hospital establishments. I always forget to bring a mask to these things. Arrive 15 minutes early in Newport Beach, take a Valium an hour before. Implant goes well-go home and rest. Also, if they let your partner in-film the implant. 

Implant day is a day of rest, and this time I am trying to take two more days of rest after. I am an awful patient and this is hard for me to do. Post transfer we ran low on p4 so we transitioned to 1/2 crinone and 1/2 p4 for the every 12 hour injections. There are enough drugs on hand to get through to the pregnancy test and once confirmed, we stick with this or go all crinone. I don’t remember my last boys’ implant well but this time around, my left uterus feels like a battle zone a bit. 

Trimester Breakdown:

Part 1: 10/7-1/8

Part 2: 1/9-4/12

Part 3: 4/13-7/15

November 2022: 

An appointment was set up to have a blood draw/pregnancy test on 11/7. What was the time like before? I felt most, if not all, the symptoms. Pray tell, what are the symptoms of the first trimester?

First Trimester Signs: Nausea, Metallic Taste, Foggy Brain, Cramps, Tiredness, Breast Tenderness,

For me, and according to old wives tales, boys are supposed to be worse. This round definitely felt different as I felt very sore for up to a week after implant. Google says this is ok but man, it was kind of odd. The first blood test of Week 4/5 happened and TBD. If this goes well, I go two more times-two days apart. In theory the HCG a pregnant body produces should double every day. The first time you are able to view anything on an ultrasound is week 6. The next, and final, intralipid appointment would also happen that week. 

The first blood test was good and positive, the next blood test the values should of doubled...and they did not. They increased but did not double. The office wants me to see the third test before jumping to any conclusions. The second blood draw was a 15% rise. The third blood draw was a 66% rise, so they kept us on the schedule and we scheduled the first ultrasound at 6 weeks 4 days. They also had me schedule my second, and last, intralipid appointment for that same day. Prior to going to going into the first ultrasound, there were 50/50 odds that this is a viable pregnancy. 

We went in for an ultrasound and there was a gestational sac, but nothing that could be seen in the sac. They did a blood draw, to confirm the hCG is rising as a pregnant body should be. I had an intralipid appointment but they wanted me to move it, and wait for the results. The beta was rising, so we stay in the game another week. Order more drugs from MDR Pharmacy and scheduled another ultrasound for the end of the week. The intralipid appointment was moved to the same day as the next ultrasound. 

Oso Home Care...Intralipids: This trip was shorter, already in the system and they have an idea of how quickly you take the liquids and what not. I believe this time was about 3 hours? 

Also, I am keeping track of my weight, as women who are overweight before need to be careful how much weight they put on. When I checked on it, I actually had lost weight. Between my keto diet, morning sickness, and other pregnancy symptoms. In the first trimester one can lose a bit, but should this trend keep up in the second trimester...we got problems. Went in for the next appointment and while it was still not where it was supposed to be, there was improvement in both Beta (blood draw) and ultrasound findings. By this time I am almost 8 weeks along and there should be some major organs created, like the heart. 

December 2022: 

The next ultrasound would be interesting as it was kind of the determined trip to “call it”. Why would I want to call it? Because since implant, it has been very “we don’t have good news but we have not bad news so keep injecting”. And the body can only take so much for something that they said was most likely to end in bad news? But the doctor makes a good point that while certain things should be in place by this appointment, babies can be “past their due date” so if they are slow to grow, as long as they grow, it is fine? As the train carrying the passenger, the “limbo” is annoying as hell. 

The Week 8 Ultrasound: Yeah, so that went about as good as that was going to. The doctor finally called it. It is sad, bumming, annoying, frustrating, relieving yet unwantedly so. They are three options to resolve this round: to let it happen naturally, use drugs to help “speed things along”, or get a D&C. For now, we are going to cancel medications and assess in another couple of days. Did a blood draw to see where the beta is, and establish a comparison point for declines in the future. 

For the next blood draw, I could of gone to my Fertility Care office-but with us at the sad end of the process-and them not being part of our insurance-we decided to finish the process in slightly more complicated insured way. They ordered the blood draw at Quest Diagnostics. I made an appointment and the results were sent to Fertility Care. I have seen some insurance that covers infertility, but for the most part that is a sad joke. Some jobs cover that too. If you need that as an option, it’s worth looking into. 

Pay attention to your body. I had sharp pains on my lower left abdomen area the day before the blood draw. Like, bad enough to make me basically pointless the rest of the night. The next day they continued, and I called it in. I am now on the alert for heavy bleeding and those pains, as the combination means bad news. But should be signs the body is starting the miscarriage process. To speed things up, they put me on Letrozole and Acetaminophen-COD. This will be my first time having a drug induced natural miscarriage.  

Four pills at night for 7 nights, bleeding can last up to a week. Blood was being drawn at Quest Diagnostics and the beta hcg was going down. I used pads for a week to “measure” how much I was bleeding, more than two pads in two hours was bad news. Blood draw to see where we were at, luckily enough for all involved-there was no hemorrhaging. The second week of miscarriage recovery-less blood, less medications, but no less feels? Research shows it could take up to 6 weeks for my body to get back to “normal”. There are some herbs and vitamins I can take to help, but mostly it was rest and food and relaxation. 

So, what happened? While there are no answers, there is a scientific name for this. Funny how that works out huh? Here is what I think happened: 

“ A blighted ovum, also called an anembryonic pregnancy, occurs when an early embryo never develops or stops developing, is resorbed and leaves an empty gestational sac. The reason this occurs is often unknown, but it may be due to chromosomal abnormalities in the fertilized egg.” (Source: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pregnancy-loss-miscarriage/expert-answers/blighted-ovum/faq-20057783)

Because this is an IVF process, and everything is tested and in some ways controlled, I doubt it is because of any chromosomal abnormalities. But it is crazy how many variations of miscarriages are out there. And really, even in the same person’s journey-no two are the same. Oh to know so much yet so little. 

Honestly, this is a very tough process. I am not sure what to think. Doctor thinks we should implant (IN ME) the last embryo, possibly changing nothing, and see if it works when I am mentally and emotionally ready. For now, the only thing for sure is its BREAK TIME. Is it too soon for a surrogate? I don’t understand how I can be such a medical mystery. It is a very strange feeling.

Arginine Prices Trend | Pricing | Database | News | Index | Chart

 Arginine Prices a vital amino acid, has seen fluctuating prices in recent years, influenced by several market factors. The demand for arginine, primarily driven by its extensive use in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries, has been a significant contributor to price dynamics. Arginine is crucial for protein synthesis, enhancing blood flow, and supporting immune function, making it a popular supplement for athletes and health-conscious consumers. The global market for dietary supplements continues to expand, which in turn affects arginine prices. Moreover, arginine's role in medical treatments, including wound healing and cardiovascular health, amplifies its demand in the pharmaceutical sector.

The supply side of arginine also plays a critical role in pricing. Arginine is derived from natural sources like plant-based proteins, but it can also be synthesized through fermentation processes. The cost of raw materials, such as soybeans and other protein-rich plants, directly impacts the production costs of arginine. Agricultural factors, including weather conditions and crop yields, can cause fluctuations in these raw material prices, thereby influencing the overall cost of arginine production. Additionally, advancements in biotechnology and fermentation techniques have the potential to lower production costs, but these savings are often offset by the initial investment required for technological upgrades.

Global trade dynamics and regulatory factors further complicate the pricing of arginine. Import and export tariffs, trade agreements, and regulatory standards in different countries affect the cost of arginine in the international market. For instance, stringent quality control and certification requirements in regions like North America and Europe can increase production costs for manufacturers aiming to meet these standards. Conversely, regions with more relaxed regulations might offer lower-priced arginine, but this often comes at the cost of quality and safety concerns. Therefore, manufacturers need to balance regulatory compliance with cost-efficiency to remain competitive in the global market.

During the height of the pandemic, supply chain disruptions were rampant, affecting the availability of raw materials and slowing down production processes. This led to temporary spikes in arginine prices due to reduced supply. However, as global logistics and supply chains began to stabilize, prices started to normalize. Nonetheless, the pandemic underscored the vulnerability of global supply chains and the need for more resilient systems to prevent future disruptions.

Market competition among manufacturers and suppliers also influences arginine prices. As new players enter the market, competition tends to drive prices down, benefiting consumers. However, established companies with significant market share can influence prices by leveraging economies of scale, advanced production techniques, and strategic partnerships. The presence of large multinational companies in the market can sometimes lead to price stabilization, as these entities have the resources to absorb short-term fluctuations in costs.

Consumer preferences and trends play a subtle yet impactful role in determining arginine prices. With the increasing trend towards plant-based and natural supplements, there is a growing demand for arginine sourced from non-animal origins. This shift in consumer behavior can lead to higher prices for plant-derived arginine, especially if the supply of such sources is limited. Additionally, the rising popularity of fitness and wellness products drives up the demand for arginine supplements, further influencing market prices.

Technological advancements in production processes, such as fermentation technology and genetic engineering, hold the potential to reduce arginine production costs in the long run. These innovations can enhance yield efficiency and reduce reliance on traditional raw materials. However, the adoption of new technologies requires substantial investment, which can initially lead to higher prices until the benefits of increased efficiency and lower production costs are realized. The pace of technological adoption and its impact on prices will largely depend on the willingness and capability of manufacturers to invest in such advancements.

The pricing of arginine is a complex interplay of demand and supply factors, regulatory influences, market competition, and technological advancements. The ongoing demand from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, coupled with evolving consumer preferences, ensures that arginine remains a valuable commodity in the market. While production costs and supply chain dynamics continue to pose challenges, innovations in biotechnology and production methods offer promising avenues for cost reduction. As the market evolves, stakeholders must navigate these multifaceted factors to maintain a balance between affordability, quality, and sustainability in arginine production and supply.
