Arginine: to improve cardiovascular, reproductive, lung, kidney, gastrointestinal, liver and immune functions, and to facilitate wound healing.

Arginine (Arg) is an amino acid made by the digestion
of proteins. It can also be made artificially.

Arginine is considered a non-essential amino acid because under most conditions it is produced by the body from other amino acids.

It is, however, essential for newborns and is conditionally essential for adults with certain health challenges.

Arginine supplementation is purported to improve cardiovascular, reproductive, lung, kidney, gastrointestinal, liver and immune functions, and to facilitate wound healing.

The mode of action for the role arginine plays in improving health and well-being is the result of its conversion to nitric oxide (NO) in cells that line the inside of the blood vessels, the endothelial cells.

Nitric oxide causes relaxation of smooth muscles and is the body's most potent vasodilator (an agent that causes widening of the lumen or opening of blood vessels), and is an important regulator of blood pressure.

A review of studies on L-arginine and its role in the management of cardiovascular health was recently published (Ann Pharmacother 2001 Jun; 35 (6):755-64).

The conclusions reached were that L-arginine improved endothelial function through vasodilatation.

Most of the studies show that benefits of arginine were short-term and small scale and require follow up to confirm the results.

However, the list of benefits includes:

• Supports normal blood pressure and normal circulation
• Supports cardiovascular functioning
• Improves immune response
• Improves exercise capacity
• Supports the micro-circulation of the liver
• Supports sexual performance due to relaxation of the blood vessels in the genitalia, causing increased blood flow and engorgement of the region.
