NOW Sports L-Arginine Powder 454g
Arginine is a conditionally essential basic amino acid involved primarily in urea metabolism and excretion, as well as in DNA synthesis and protein production. In certain stressful situations, such as illness or injury, the body requires higher levels of these amino acids from the diet.
L-Arginine is required to synthesise nitric oxide in the body. It helps blood vessels to relax and expand, thus allowing more blood, oxygen and nutrients to flow to organs and muscles. Nitric oxide is a powerful neurotransmitter that helps blood vessels relax and help improve circulation. With age, nitric oxide levels fall, and studies show that a 40yr old is likely only making about half or less the amount of nitric oxide than a 20yr old.
Arginine also supports normal liver detoxification processes, helping your body eliminate toxic materials and supporting overall metabolic health.
