L-arginine and nitric oxide: a review of the clinical evidence for cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular Drug Reviews, 2007
Each tablet delivers 1000mg of free form L-arginine HCl, a semi-essential amino acid and the direct substrate for nitric oxide synthase (NOS), the enzyme that produces nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator that relaxes vascular smooth muscle, supporting healthy blood vessel tone and circulation. Supports nitric oxide production, healthy circulation, and exercise performance.
L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid found naturally in protein-containing foods including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, nuts, and legumes. L-arginine used in supplements is produced by fermentation of plant-based substrates, yielding a compound chemically identical to the L-arginine found in dietary protein. Free form means the amino acid is not bound to a protein chain and is available for direct absorption. This product is formulated and manufactured entirely in Canada.
L-arginine is the direct substrate for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes, which convert L-arginine and oxygen to nitric oxide (NO) and L-citrulline. Nitric oxide is a gaseous signaling molecule that acts as a potent vasodilator by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, reducing vascular resistance, and supporting healthy blood vessel tone and circulation. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the primary NOS enzyme in blood vessel walls, uses L-arginine to produce NO that regulates local blood flow and vascular function. By providing L-arginine as substrate, supplementation supports the body's nitric oxide production pathway and healthy circulation.
