Pure Arginine is a major energy currency in the body, and has an essential role in maintaining cellular energy. It does this by combining with Glycine and L-Methionine to form Creatine.
It also works in immune system function (by aiding the construction of antibodies to fight viruses), neurotransmission & other important areas such as the treatment of heart disease.
Collagen and elastin are important body tissue proteins that depend on L-Arginine for proper synthesis.
Insulin and haemoglobin also require L-Arginine for their manufacture -- therefore L-Arginine helps to maintain proper blood sugar levels and allow better tolerance of glucose.
L-Arginine has an important role in fertility - improves sperm and semen production as well as motility of the sperm cells. Erectile function is also controlled by L-Arginine, as it is responsible for carrying nitric oxide gas into the blood vessels.
L-Arginine is involved in the production of human growth hormone, making it useful for those wanting to build and tone muscle tissue as well as metabolise stored fat.
