Arginine helps treat medical conditions that require increased vasodilation such as chest pain, atherosclerosis, heart failure, erectile dysfunction, intermittent claudication
Arginine is an essential amino acid, especially known for its detoxifying effect on the liver. But a lack of arginine in the body causes a number of surprising disorders such as skin rashes, constipation, lack of libido and, over time, a breakdown of the entire immune system. This happens because arginine is an amino acid used by the body to build proteins and strengthen defences against infection.
Arginine, also known as L-arginine, is an amino acid synthesised under certain circumstances by the body, namely during periods of stress (infections, inflammation) and rapid growth, when endogenous reserves are needed. It is considered a semi-essential amino acid, having an important role in tissue reconstruction and protein production, and therefore also for muscle growth or fighting infections.
Benefits of arginine for the body
Benefits for the heart and cardiovascular system
- Improves coronary and peripheral blood circulation, so it is useful for people who experience poor limb circulation;
- It is effective in diminishing the unpleasant manifestations of heart disorders and in preventing atherosclerosis, as it helps oxygenate the heart muscle;
- Helps to relieve the symptoms of angina pectoris, coronary artery disease or clogged arteries;
- Prevents cholesterol deposits on the arteries and reduces cholesterol levels in hypercholesteromas.
Benefits for male libido
- Plays a role in increasing male fertility as it stimulates testosterone production;
- Has vasodilatory and oxygenating effect on sexual organs;
- Improves sperm quality (arginine accounts for 80% of seminal fluid).
Benefits for the whole body
- Maintains muscle mass and normalizes blood pressure;
- Useful for people suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes as it stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin;
- It has a detoxifying effect on the liver and reduces blood and kidney pressure in patients with kidney failure[3];
- It is used by the body for protein formation and fighting infections.
Less Known Benefits of Arginine
- 1.NORMALIZES BLOOD PRESSURE
Arginine is the precursor of nitric oxide which dilates, relaxes and maintains the elasticity of blood vessels. It therefore has a positive effect in reducing blood pressure, including pulmonary and coronary hypertension. The same positive effect is also observed when arginine is administered to people with poor perfusion circulation, who constantly experience cold hands and tingling and manifestations of Raynaud's syndrome. People prone to cardiovascular disease due to high cholesterol can also benefit from the positive effect of arginine. It reduces cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemia, prevents thrombosis (blockage of blood vessels with clots) and atherosclerosis (cholesterol deposits on the arteries), improves coronary and peripheral blood flow, dilates, relaxes and maintains the elasticity of blood vessels. Moreover, it reduces the unpleasant manifestations of heart disorders such as angina pectoris and ischaemic heart disease.
- 2.INCREASES THE POTENCY OF MEN AND HELPS DIABETICS
Because it has positive effects on the circulatory system, arginine also indirectly helps to increase men's sexual performance. Equally, arginine stimulates the production of testosterone, a male sex hormone that has a vasodilatory effect, stimulates blood circulation and oxygenation of the sexual organs. For these reasons, arginine increases libido, helps maintain erection and even plays an important role in the spermatogenesis process. More specifically, it increases sperm quality because 80% of seminal fluid is arginine, and a possible deficiency leads to decreased fertility or even sterility.
Diabetics usually suffer from metabolic syndrome, a condition consisting of high cholesterol, abdominal obesity and hypertension. Arginine acts positively on all three parameters. Specifically, it has a lipotropic effect, i.e. it helps to reduce fatty tissue, while maintaining muscle mass, normalising blood pressure and decreasing the risk of cholesterols being deposited on blood vessels. In addition, arginine simulates the pancreas to produce insulin in people suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes, helping to effectively control diabetes.
