L-Arginine
A Semi-essential
Amino Acid
What is
L-Arginine?
The "L" in L-Arginine
indicatess it is one of the most common natural amino acids.
It is classified as a semi-essential amino acid. This
means a healthy body can make sufficient amounts of it on
its own, through the kidneys and liver. It can be converted
into glycogen or glucose (essential energy sources) if
needed . L-Arginine not only helps the body make creatine,
L-proline and L-glutamate, but also helps to eliminate
ammonia (a waste byproduct). It helps relax the
blood vessels through its assistance in making nitric oxide.
L-Arginine has been used for sexual dysfunction and to
enhance sexual performance due to increased blood flow to
the penis.
As with HGH, the production
of L-arginine decreases with age, so supplementation does
provide an anti-aging benefit. Generally, it is recommended
to keep supplementation under 2000 milligrams per
day.
