Overview
Arginine is an amino acid, there are numerous amino acids, but
there are twenty that are nutritionally important. These twenty
are divided into two groups: nine of these are considered
essential, which means that they cannot be made by the body and
must be obtained through the diet or supplementation; eleven are
non-essential, which means that they can be made by the body.
Although Arginine is a non-essential amino acid, it plays a role
in several important mechanisms in the body, including wound
healing, removal of ammonia from the body, supports immune
function, cell division and secretion of important hormones, such
as insulin and glucagons. In addition, the body uses Arginine to
make nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes and dilates the blood
vessels. Research indicates that reduced levels of nitric oxide
can lead to an elevation in cholesterol levels; therefore,
Arginine may support healthy cholesterol balance. In a study
conducted on 45 healthy, non-smoking elderly volunteers
researchers noted decreased total serum cholesterol with a
reduction in LDL, but not in HDL. In other words, the participants
in this study had an increase in the ration of low to high-density
lipoproteins, a very important factor in measuring cholesterol. It
may also be important to liver health because it assists in the
neutralization of ammonia, which is toxic to the liver and other
living cells.
Our formula uses the L form of Arginine because it is closer to
that which is manufactured by the body. It is derived from a
fermentation of molasses.
Our L-Arginine 500 mg is available in 50 and 100 count
vegetarian capsules.
