The amino acid L-Arginine is present in most protein sources such as meat, dairy products and whole grains. As well, our bodies can synthesize small amounts of it. Arginine performs several important functions for the metabolism. Our bodies use arginine to produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide has the effect of dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow, resulting in enhanced nutrient and oxygen delivery to cells, and enhanced waste removal. As well, arginine is a precursor to creatine, which plays an important role in muscular energy and power output. Helping to support improved circulation, combined with arginine’s role in protein synthesis, cell division, and muscular energy, is the reason arginine supplementation is popular among performance athletes.
Arginine helps to support detoxification by helping to remove ammonia from the body. As well, arginine plays an important role in the body’s immune system as it regulates the activity of the thymus gland which processes the white blood cells known as T-lymphocytes. Arginine also plays an important role in the production of growth hormone and insulin.
Our body’s natural production of arginine may be impaired by factors such as physical or mental stress, poor diet, or illness.
