More information:
Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are
essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the
biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and
antibodies.
-
L-Arginine is essential in muscle metabolism
because it provides a vehicle for transport, storage and
excretion of nitrogen.
-
L-Arginine is an important component in tissue
generation and regeneration.
-
L-Arginine is highly concentrated in the skin and
connective tissue and helps to remove ammonia from the body as
part of the urea cycle.
-
L-Arginine can be very helpful in cases of burns,
trauma and sepsis.
-
L-arginine has been shown to have
immunomodulatory activity. For example, in human breast cancer,
supplementation with this amino acid has been reported to
increase the quantity and cytotoxic activity of natural killer (NK)
cells and lymphokine-activated-killer (LAK) cells.
-
L-arginine's
possible activity in wound repair may be due to its precursor
role in the formation of L-ornithine and, ultimately, L-proline.
L-proline is a key element in collagen biosynthesis.
-
There is preliminary evidence that L-arginine could be helpful
in some men with erectile dysfunction.
-
L-arginine
has been shown to be helpful in reducing cholesterol and high
blood pressure. It has also been helpful in those with angina
pectoris.
-
Several studies have found that L-arginine can help with
interstitial cystitis. Other studies, however, have not reported
benefit. It appears that L-arginine can decrease pain and
urgency in some people with interstial cystitis, but more
research is needed to confirm this.
-
Ornithine releases growth hormone and helps maintain the health
of the immune system and the liver. It has similar properties to
arginine since these two amino acids convert into one another in
the body, as required.
