Feature Summary

Natural Factors L-Arginineis a non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis. It may also helpsupport a modest improvement in exercise capacity in individuals with stablecardiovascular diseases (CVD).

L-arginine is aconditionally essential amino acid, which means although it can be manufacturedby the body, during times of illness, stress, and recovery from injury, thebody may need more than it can produce on its own. L-arginine plays a criticalrole in the production of nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes blood vessels,helping to improve blood flow. A deficiency of L-arginine can disrupt manycellular functions in the body, including those of the blood vessels.

As a free-formamino acid, L-arginine is easier for the body to absorb and use than whenconsumed in the form of protein from food, such as dairy, meat, and fish. Availablein two strengths, L-arginine is free from preservatives, sweeteners, gluten, andGMOs. L-arginine is a great choice for people who want to improve theirexercise capacity, are under high levels of stress, or are involved in intensephysical training.
