The benefits of L-arginine are generally well-known, at least among athletes who use it to achieve optimum performance. L-arginine is a form of amino acid that is normally produced naturally in the body and can also be obtained through diet and supplements.

L-Arginine works by combining with a family of enzymes called Nitric Oxide synthases to produce Nitric Oxide along with citrulline (another amino acid). Nitric Oxide was only discovered in the late 1990s by researchers looking for the physical mechanism that caused L-arginine to promote blood vessel relaxation.

Arginine is an amino acid and its L form is one of the most common types of natural amino acid. L-arginine is normally produced naturally in the body and has several functions. It helps to get rid of ammonia, a waste product, makes nitric oxide that relaxes blood vessels and is involved in protein formation. It can stimulate the release of growth hormones if present in large amounts.

L-arginine is mainly produced in the kidneys and is referred to as being conditionally essential, meaning that the body normally has enough. However, there are situation where insufficient is produced and supplements are required.

Food Supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
