What is the legal status of this nutrient in Australia and New Zealand? This chemical behaves like an analog of N-AcetylGlutamine and should be treated like any nutritional supplement. Unfortunately, in some countries it is regulated.
Are there any legitimate suppliers for this as a bulk powder in Australia/New Zealand?
There are studies showing that NCG increases arginine and growth hormone better than direct arginine supplementation does! The mechanism is that it pushes on the urea cycle, speeding up the rate at which the body disposes of ammonia. It seems well tolerated in studies and has a very high dose required for toxicity.
I am actually very surprised that this supplement is not more widely discussed. People talked about it after a pig study was released in 2007 and then discussion just seems to have withered away.
