L-arginine 100c

L-arginine is a conditionally-essential amino acid. Typically the body is able to manufacture sufficient quantities of arginine, but in certain conditions, such as aging, cardiovascular disease, and trauma, arginine synthesis is reduced and requirements increase. Arginine is necessary for the synthesis of creatine phosphate (PCR) which is essential for the synthesis of ATP (energy), particularly in muscle tissue. Arginine is also required for the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is important for normal, healthy immune function as well as the relaxation of blood vessels, critical for maintaining normal, healthy blood pressure and support of overall cardiovascular health.† Vitamin B6 is included as it is an essential nutrient for amino acid metabolism.† Features 500mg free-form L-arginine per serving.
