Astenor Forte
Convalescence
Convalescence, or the time needed for recovery after an illness, surgery, or medical treatment, can often be difficult and prolonged.
Astenor Forte contains arginine, which is one of the many amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that the body needs to function optimally. It has several important functions in the body, including wound and injury healing, and supporting the immune system. The deficiency of key amino acids has been associated with slower recovery after surgical interventions [Askanazi 1980], and arginine supplementation has been shown to facilitate muscle recovery [Couto 2015]
Astenor Forte helps you in the recovery process.
Muscle Cramps and Soreness
Muscle cramps and pain can have multiple causes, including muscle overuse, dehydration, muscle strain, or prolonged periods of maintaining the same position.
Astenor Forte contains arginine, which enhances blood flow and contributes to muscle energy metabolism. This helps ensure better oxygen delivery to muscles, preventing cramps. One of arginine’s key roles is in the Urea Cycle, where it helps eliminate toxic ammonia from the body (via the kidneys) as urea [Bessman 1957]. This is particularly important when excess blood ammonia (hyperammonemia) affects performance, especially during intense training [Wilkinson 2010]. Arginine also stimulates protein synthesis, reduces muscle fatigue, and enables faster recovery [Maréchal 1999, Bescós 2012, Tsai 2009], while helping prevent muscle cramps [Poux].
Astenor Forte also contains malic acid, which supports creatine biosynthesis in muscle cells, enhancing muscle performance and promoting faster recovery [Tyka 2015]. Malic acid has been shown to reduce muscle pain [Abraham 1992].
Astenor Forte helps relieve muscle cramps and pain.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Post-surgical recovery can often be challenging and prolonged.
Astenor Forte contains arginine, one of the essential amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) required for optimal body function. It plays multiple vital roles, including wound healing and immune system support. Deficiency of key amino acids has been linked to slower post-operative recovery [Askanazi 1980], while arginine supplementation has been shown to enhance muscle recovery [Couto 2015].
linical studies demonstrate that arginine supplementation: Strengthens immune function in surgical patients, helping prevent post-operative infections [Daly 1988] and improves recovery outcomes and reduces hospital stays [de Luis 2004]

Chemotherapy Support
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to eliminate rapidly growing cells (primarily cancer) in your body. The side effects of chemotherapy drugs can be significant and often include fatigue and exhaustion, and may lead to liver impairment.
Astenor Forte contains arginine, which is effective in preventing and treating fatigue [Dell’Erba 2000, Camic 2010]. One of arginine’s most important functions is its involvement in the Urea Cycle, where it plays a key role in eliminating toxic ammonia from the body (via the kidneys) in the form of urea [Bessman 1957]. Studies have shown that arginine has a protective effect on the liver [Chattopadhyay 2009, Al-Dalen 2016]. Arginine supplementation has also been proven to improve the condition of chemotherapy patients [Heys 1998, de Luis 2004, Schön 2003-5], most likely due to its role in increasing nitric oxide production [5].

Pregnancy (2nd & 3rd Trimesters)
The second and third trimesters of pregnancy, from week 13 to the end of week 26 and from week 27 until the end of pregnancy, are vital for your baby’s development. Everything from lungs to toenails and hair develops during these pregnancy trimesters. This can also be a period when women need more energy and strength, as pregnancy makes daily activities more challenging.
Astenor Forte contains arginine, which promotes cellular and body growth and supports the release of growth hormone [Oh 2017, Kanaley 2008]. Therefore, it plays a key role in pregnancy and fetal development [Hsu 2019]. Studies have also shown that arginine treatment during pregnancy may help prevent and manage preeclampsia, a serious condition characterized by high blood pressure and excess protein in urine, typically developing after 20 weeks of pregnancy [Camarena Pulido 2016, Dorniak-Wall 2014].
Astenor Forte supports women during pregnancy.
Postpartum Recovery
The postpartum (or postnatal) period begins immediately after childbirth, when the mother’s body, including hormone levels and uterine size, returns to its initial state. The birth of a child can trigger many emotions, from excitement and joy to fear, anxiety, and even depression. But it can also lead to fatigue and exhaustion due to the strain placed on the woman’s body.
Astenor Forte contains arginine, which is one of the many amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that the body needs to function optimally. It has several important functions in the body, including wound and injury healing and supporting the immune system. The deficiency of key amino acids has been associated with slower recovery after surgical procedures [Askanazi 1980], and arginine supplementation has been shown to facilitate muscle recovery [Couto 2015]. Arginine supplementation optimizes healing after a cesarean section [Hicks-Roof 2018]. Arginine may also be effective in preventing and treating fatigue [Dell’Erba 2000, Camic 2010].
Astenor Forte supports your postpartum recovery process.
Post-Intense Workout Recovery
After demanding workouts or periods of intense physical activity, the body requires muscular and energetic recovery.
Astenor Forte contains malic acid – which stimulates ATP* production in muscle cells – and arginine, which supports ammonia elimination and muscle protein recovery.
Astenor Forte aids post-workout recovery by reducing fatigue and maintaining muscle tone.
