Arginine
|
Arginine is an essential amino acid that serves as the primary nitrogen donor for many biochemical reactions in the body, such as the formation of Nitric Oxide (NO), a gas with a very short half-life of 5 seconds in the body. During this brief period, NO directs the smooth muscle cells in the arterial walls to dilate.
By taking supplemental arginine, you can ensure that adequate raw material is on hand for NO synthesis.
By dilating arteries, more blood flow is available to tissues. Beneficial effects of arginine supplementation include better bloodflow to the heart and brain, lower blood pressure and better erections in men.
