L-Arginine is a conditionally essential basic amino acid involved primarily in urea metabolism and excretion, as well as DNA synthesis. It is an important precursor of Nitric Oxide (NO) and thus plays a role in the dilation of blood vessels. Arginine supports the effect of exercise and is involved in various important pathways throughout the body. L-Arginine may enhance exercise performance by increasing nitric oxide in the body, which improves blood flow and oxygenation to muscles. It brings relaxation of the cells that make up blood vessels.
