Description:

L-arginine is a protein amino acid. L-arginine is essential for young children and for those with certain rare genetic disorders in which synthesis of the amino acid is impaired. It plays a number of other roles in the body. These include the detoxification of ammonia formed during the nitrogen catabolism of amino acids via the formation of urea. In addition, L-arginine is a precursor in the formation of nitric oxide, creatine, polyamines, L-glutamate, L-proline, agmatin (a possible neurotransmitter in the brain) and the arginine-containing tetrapeptide tuftsin, believed to be an immunomodulator. L-arginine is a glycogenic amino acid; it can be converted to D-glucose and glycogen if needed by the body or it can be catabolized to produce biological energy.

L-arginine, when administered in high doses, stimulates pituitary release of growth hormone and prolactin and pancreatic release of glucagon and insulin. It is also used to help improve the immune status in those suffering from sepsis, burns and trauma.

Actions:

Supplemental L-arginine may have anti-atherogenic, antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions. It may also have wound-repair activity.

Usage:

L-arginine is administered in high doses to stimulate pituitary release of growth hormone and prolactin and pancreatic release of glucagon and insulin.

Precautions:

Because of the possibility of growth hormone stimulation, pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid L-arginine supplementation.
