Function
1. Arginine supports heart health: L-Arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide, a free radical, that positively affects blood pressure and can behave as an anti-coagulant. (there exists concern regarding L-Arginine supplementation post-heart attack. It is suggested not to use L-Arginine after heart attack)2. Supports reproductive health: Nitric Oxide impairment has been associated with erectile dysfunction3. Supports wound healing: Arginine supports collagen production (skin repair), blood circulation and the immune system which support wound repair4. Removes excess ammonia5. Stimulates the immune system: Arginine supports the Thymus gland and the increase of T lymcytes6. Aids hormone production: glucagon, insulin and growth hormone
