NOW Foods L-Arginine: Pharmaceutical Grade Nitric Oxide Support

As a "conditionally essential" amino acid, L-Arginine is a versatile building block that the body relies on heavily during periods of physical exertion or high metabolic demand. It plays a pivotal role in protein production and DNA synthesis ... making it a cornerstone for cellular health and recovery.

One of L-Arginine’s most vital functions is serving as the primary precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO). By increasing Nitric Oxide production, this amino acid helps support the relaxation and dilation of blood vessels, promoting healthy circulation and efficient nutrient delivery throughout the body. Additionally, L-Arginine is a key player in the urea cycle ... aiding in the detoxification and excretion of metabolic waste.

Key Benefits:

- Nitric Oxide Precursor: Supports healthy blood flow and vessel dilation.

- Pharmaceutical Grade: High-purity L-Arginine for maximum absorption.

- Metabolic Detoxification: Involved in healthy urea metabolism and excretion.

- Foundational Nutrition: Critical for DNA synthesis and protein production.

- Cardiovascular Support: Aids in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.

- Vegan & Vegetarian Friendly: Clean, plant-based delivery.

Support healthy circulation, recovery, and detoxification with NOW Foods L-Arginine. 

Ingredients

Faqs

What does "Nitric Oxide Precursor" mean for my health?

Nitric Oxide (NO) is a gas that signals the smooth muscles in your blood vessels to relax. By providing the raw material for NO production ... L-Arginine helps improve circulation, which can enhance exercise performance, support heart health, and improve delivery of oxygen to your muscles.

What makes L-Arginine "conditionally essential"?

While the body can typically produce its own Arginine, there are times (such as during intense athletic training, recovery from injury, or high stress) when the body's demand outpaces its supply. In these instances, supplementation ensures your systems aren't running on empty.

How does L-Arginine help with "detox"?

L-Arginine is a vital component of the urea cycle. This is the process your body uses to convert ammonia (a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism) into urea, which can then be safely excreted by the kidneys.

Is this supplement good for athletes?

Yes. Many athletes use L-Arginine to support "pumps" and endurance. By supporting blood flow, it helps shuttle nutrients to hard-working muscles and facilitates the removal of metabolic waste products that cause fatigue.

How should I take NOW Foods L-Arginine?

Take 2 capsules twice daily as needed. For best results, take between meals or at bedtime with a carbohydrate drink to facilitate better absorption.

Are there any precautions?

Do not use if you have had a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or have established coronary artery disease. If you are taking blood pressure medications, consult your doctor before use.

How to use

Take 2 capsules twice daily as needed. Take between meals or at bedtime with at least 8 oz. of water or juice to facilitate absorption. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
