Puritan's Pride L-Arginine 500 mg 100 Capsules

The Puritan's Pride dietary supplement contains 500 mg of L-arginine – an endogenous amino acid, meaning one that the body can produce itself. Unfortunately, it is often not present in sufficient quantities to perform all of its functions. In the body, it supports the function of the circulatory system, liver, and kidneys. It improves tissue and muscle nutrition.

L-arginine is involved in nitrogen metabolism within the Krebs cycle and contributes to the synthesis of creatinine and other important proteins.

This amino acid also supports the synthesis of nitric oxide, a vasodilator that causes blood vessels to dilate. Thus, in sufficient amounts, L-arginine improves endothelial function and can lead to a reduction in blood pressure.

In addition, L-arginine supplementation may have a significant effect on certain indicators of the glycemic profile, such as fasting glycemia and glycated hemoglobin.

In summary, Puritan's Pride's L-Arginine supplement is a very safe and natural amino acid with numerous health-promoting properties. Puritan's Pride's product has a simple and safe formula without unnecessary artificial additives.
