Description
"Arginine" is a supplement derived from a semi-essential amino acid, naturally found in protein-rich foods and synthesized by the body. It serves as a precursor to nitric oxide (NO), a molecule involved in vascular and metabolic processes. Arginine is also known to support blood circulation, regulate blood pressure, and promote cardiovascular health. Additionally, it aids in muscle recovery, immune response, and hormone production. As a key amino acid, arginine remains widely utilized in general health and sports nutrition.

When To Take It
Arginine can be consumed at any time of the day, with no specific timing required to experience its benefits.
Synergy and Antagonism
Arginine works synergistically with citrulline, ornithine, and nitric oxide boosters to enhance circulation and blood flow. However, it may have an antagonistic relationship with lysine, as they compete in metabolic pathways. High doses of glutamine may also interfere with arginine function.
