Description:

L-Arginine is an amino acid. L-Arginine helps the body get rid of waste and synthesize proteins. Certain conditions such as sever burns, sepsis, jaundice, protein deficiencies and malnutrition can affect your ability to produce L-Arginine. People who don’t have enough L-Arginine may have symptoms such as constipation, hair loss and skin problems. Your Body needs L-Arginine to make urea, the waste product that you get rid of when you urinate. L-Arginine helps your body manufacture creatine, a protein that contributes to muscle mass and power.

There are plenty of powerful new drugs to help prevent and treat chronic health problems. But we also know that certain nutrients may help as well. Take arginine, for example. Arginine has gotten lots of attention lately for its potential heart benefits. That's important because, today, about 64 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease. Deficiencies of arginine are rare. It's abundant in many different types of foods, and your body can also make it. Arginine-rich foods include red meat, fish, poultry, wheat germ, grains, nuts and seeds, and dairy products. In the body, the amino acid arginine changes into nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a powerful neurotransmitter that helps blood vessels relax and also improves circulation.
