Arginine
Description
Arginine is an amino acid synthesized by the human body.
L-arginine is a component of proteins and has multiple benefits: it stimulates muscle activity, helps to burn fat and to improve endurance, which is why it is so popular with sportspeople.
In addition, arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide (NO), a chemical compound that causes vasodilation of blood vessels, thus helping to improve oxygen and nutrient delivery during exercise.
According to several studies, this vasodilatory effect is also useful in cases of erectile dysfunction.
Arginine is involved in the urea cycle and facilitates the body's elimination of a toxic compound, ammonia.
The benefits
