L-arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide and other metabolites. It is an important component of collagen, enzymes and hormones, skin and connective tissues. L-arginine plays important roles in the synthesis of various protein molecules; creatine and insulin being the most easily recognised. It may have antioxidant property and reduces accumulation of compounds such as ammonia and plasma lactate, by-products of physical exercise. It also inhibits platelet aggregation and has also been known to decrease blood pressure.

Main Functions:

 

1. Arginine supports heart health: L-Arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide, a free radical, that 

Positively affects  Blood pressure and can behave as an anti-coagulant. (there exists concern 

Regarding L-Arginine Supplementation post-heart attack. It is suggested not to use L-Arginine

after heart attack)

2. Supports reproductive health: Nitric Oxide impairment has been associated with erectile dysfunction

3. Supports wound healing: Arginine supports collagen production (skin repair), blood circulation and the immune  system which support wound repair 

4. Removes excess ammonia

5. Stimulates the immune system: Arginine supports the Thymus gland and the increase of T lymphocytes 
6. Aids hormone production: glucagon, insulin and growth hormone
