Arginine Caps
L-arginine is an essential amino acid. Arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, is involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry, including ammonia detoxification, hormone secretion, and immune modulation. Arginine is also well known as a precursor to nitric oxide (NO), a key component of endothelial-derived relaxing factor, an endogenous messenger molecule involved in a variety of endothelium-dependent physiological effects in the cardiovascular system.
L-arginine may also help stimulate the immune system (69-72). Surgical or traumatic injury greatly increases the body's need for L-arginine, a key building block to maintaining healthy tissue and bone. L-ornithine may also be used for this purpose (73-84).
