L-Arginine: Semi-Essential Amino Acid

Are you an athlete experiencing a decrease in endurance? Our Arginine dietary supplement is specially formulated for the well-being of athletes.

Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid, meaning that although the human body can produce it, it is sometimes necessary to obtain it through diet, especially under certain physiological conditions such as growth or intense stress. It plays a role in the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that helps dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation. While there are no health claims, numerous studies have found that physiological nitric oxide can increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to muscles, thereby promoting physical performance and recovery.[1] Our formula offers an optimal dose of bioavailable arginine.

Why Choose Our Arginine?

Bioavailability: The L-arginine in our formula is in free form, which allows for rapid absorption by the body. This form ensures efficient cellular assimilation.
Purity: Each capsule of our supplement contains 500 mg of pure L-arginine. This amino acid is important for the production of nitric oxide.
Natural: Our L-arginine is encapsulated in pullulan capsules, a natural and plant-based alternative to traditional capsules. The excipient used is rice starch, ensuring a formula free from preservatives, pesticides, or GMOs. This choice of natural ingredients ensures better tolerance and reduces the risk of allergies or intolerances, making our product safer and more effective

Arginine: Precursor of Nitric Oxide

Amino acids, such as arginine, play a role in the functioning of the human body. For example, endogenous arginine is converted into nitric oxide. Thus, arginine and other amino acids are essential to maintaining various biological functions, reflecting their importance in health and overall well-being.

Precursor of Nitric Oxide: Arginine is converted by an enzyme into nitric oxide. Numerous studies demonstrate the importance of nitric oxide, a crucial molecule that helps dilate blood vessels. Vasodilation, which increases the diameter of blood vessels, helps regulate blood pressure and blood flow, thereby improving circulation.[2]

Tissue Support and Wound Healing: According to numerous studies, arginine is involved in protein synthesis and collagen production, essential for the repair of damaged tissues. It promotes the proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, and can improve healing by increasing the production of proline, an amino acid necessary for collagen formation.[4]
Immune Function: Although it has no health claims yet, studies have shown that arginine could play a role in cellular immunity by stimulating the proliferation and activity of T-lymphocytes, critical cells in the adaptive immune response.[5]
Hormonal Secretion: Studies show that endogenous arginine can support the release of certain hormones such as growth hormone (GH) and insulin.[6]
Ammonia Detoxification: Arginine plays a role in the urea cycle, a metabolic process for the detoxification of ammonia, a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism. By converting ammonia into urea, which is excreted by the kidneys, arginine helps maintain nitrogen balance and prevent the accumulation of ammonia in the body.[7]

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Arginine

Why choose our Arginine?

Our product offers a pure and natural formulation, optimized for maximum absorption through the use of free-form L-arginine. Without artificial additives, our product is safe and effective.

What is arginine?

Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid involved in the production of nitric oxide. The latter promotes the dilation of blood vessels and improves circulation.[2] Arginine may therefore be useful for athletic performance and muscle recovery.

What is an amino acid?

An amino acid is an organic molecule that serves as a building block for proteins, essential for many biological functions, including the synthesis of enzymes, hormones, and the repair of body tissues.

In which foods can I find arginine?

Arginine is found in a variety of foods, including meat (chicken, beef, pork), fish (salmon, tuna), dairy products (cottage cheese, yogurt), nuts and seeds (almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds), legumes (chickpeas, lentils), and whole grains (oats, brown rice).

Why is it advised to take this dietary supplement between meals?

It is advised to take arginine supplements between meals to maximize their absorption. When taken on an empty stomach, they can be absorbed more quickly and effectively by the body, without interference from the digestion of other foods.

Arginine and Athletic Endurance

Arginine is an interesting nutritional supplement for athletes and people looking to support their endurance and optimize their performance. This semi-essential amino acid can be found in a variety of foods, including meats, fish, etc. Our formula, based on L-arginine contained in a pullulan capsule, ensures rapid absorption of this amino acid.
