- NOW Arginine 500mg x 100 caps
Arginine is an essential amino acid. This means that it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be taken in through food or as a dietary supplement. L-Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide and plays an essential role in hormone release, increases growth hormone secretion, aids in detoxification of the body, and strengthens the immune system. It is extremely beneficial for exercisers because of its involvement in the formation of nitric oxide, which is why it has a vasodilator effect, participating in the process of blood supply to muscle cells. It also increases sexual function by increasing blood flow to the genitals, which leads to enhanced erectile function. Arginine helps recovery after heavy physical exertion and increases the amount of oxygen that the muscles can absorb.
