The role L-Arginine (pronounced el. ar-jen-een) plays in the body is perhaps lesser known than nutrients such as CoQ10. Find out more about L-Arginine in this blog post and why it is important for your health.
What is L-Arginine?
L-Arginine is an amino acid that is vital for the body to function properly. It is needed for protein production and is also used to support circulation.
L-Arginine is produced in our bodies naturally, but it can also be found in our diet in red meat, fish, nuts and dairy. It can also be taken in the form of a supplement.
Sometimes the body might need more L-Arginine than it can produce; this may apply particularly to older people.
What role does L-Arginine play in the body?
In the body, L-Arginine is converted into a chemical called nitric oxide, which helps to enhance blood flow by widening blood vessels. L-Arginine also helps eliminate ammonia from the body and is involved in the release of insulin and other compounds needed for the body to function optimally.
L-Arginine is also critical for building protein, which is used by our bodies to create muscle and repair damaged tissue. That’s why L-Arginine is of interest to researchers.
The benefits of L-Arginine
L-Arginine can provide a range of benefits and is taken by athletes, L-Arginine can provide a range of benefits and is also taken by athletes.
A number of studies involving athletes suggest L-Arginine supplementation may boost athletic performance. When L-Arginine is converted to nitic oxide in the body, it helps deliver more oxygen to the muscles and improve blood flow.[1]
In one double-blinded, randomised and placebo-controlled trial of 56 male soccer players between the ages of 16 and 35, a daily dose of two grams of L-Arginine over 45 days found significantly increased sport performance compared to the placebo group.[2]
