Arginine

• The amino acid that promotes heart health
• A natural precursor to nitric oxide that aids blood circulation
• Supports and maintains blood pressure at normal values
• Supports cellular energy production

Arginine is an amino acid with significant health benefits. It is primarily recognized as a necessary factor in the production of nitric oxide, a key factor in relaxing blood vessels and promoting blood flow. Through its nitric oxide-increasing effects, arginine can prevent plaque and blood clot formation and reduce platelet stickiness. Clinical studies have shown that high doses of arginine are beneficial for many cardiovascular diseases, including peripheral vascular disease and angina.

In addition to its effects on blood vessels, arginine is a precursor to creatine, a compound essential for the production of ATP, the primary energy source—the most basic element providing energy used by the human body. Additionally, this versatile amino acid naturally promotes the secretion of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland. GH helps regulate body composition, body fluids, bone and muscle formation, sugar and fat metabolism, and possibly heart function.

People suffering from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome can greatly benefit from arginine supplementation, as it offers a multitude of benefits for blood circulation. Athletes could also benefit greatly, as arginine promotes healthy heart function, good blood circulation, and exercise capacity.

AOR offers a high-quality arginine supplement to improve cardiovascular and overall health.
