Arginine, L-arginine, Arginine

Arginine is a basic protein, which is the main nitrogen carrier in the blood. The human body uses arginine to synthesize nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels relax and expand. This is important for regulating blood flow. Arginine can be used to treat a variety of health problems, but overconsumption can cause bone and skin disease.

  • Origin: Plant Based, Animal Product, Synthetic

What are Arginine benefits?

Arginine is an amino acid that is important for various functions in the body, aids in healing, strengthens the immune system, and eliminates toxins from the body. In addition, it helps improve muscle performance by increasing lean mass gain and decreasing fatigue. This amino acid can be found in some foods, such as cheese, nuts, walnuts, beans, and cocoa, for example. It can be consumed in supplement form and is usually recommended for athletes since this amino acid helps to decrease muscle fatigue and promote muscle mass gain. Cancer prevention and hair hydration are other benefits of this substance. So, be sure to check out the supplements your body needs through our test, in a few minutes you can start taking care of your health.

Muscle Health Arginine and Muscle Health

The muscles are responsible for body movement, stabilization, regulation of organs, substance transportation and production of heat in addition to being strongly associated with the circulatory and nervous systems. Muscle quality is essential for well being. Supplements that help keep muscles healthy are related to different factors, such as glucose and insulin regulation, protein synthesis, energy metabolism, and others.

Arginine and

  • Preventive Immunity

    White blood cells - or leukocytes - are the body's defense cells that destroy foreign agents, for example, bacteria, viruses and toxic substances that attack our body and cause infections or other diseases. There are also enzymes that refer to the antioxidant defense system that plays the role of inhibiting and/or reducing the damage caused by the harmful action of free radicals or non-radical reactive species.
