L-Arginine, often shortened to arginine, is an amino acid and a common component of proteins. Arginine is highly adaptable and functions as a precursor to several other amino acids, such as creatine, glutamate (the precursor to glutamine), and proline. The body can synthesize arginine from citrulline; however, it is a semi-essential amino acid for some individuals. Individuals recovering from injuries or with reduced kidney or small intestine function may need supplemental arginine as their capacity to produce the amino acid isn’t sufficient to meet their body’s demands.
Arginine plays a pivotal role in the urea cycle, allowing the body to rid itself of toxic ammonia. Converting ammonia into urea is a complex biological process. It begins by converting ammonia into carbamoyl phosphate to allow it to enter the cycle. The carbamoyl phosphate converts to citrulline by transferring a phosphate group to l-ornithine. The citrulline undergoes a condensation reaction to form argininosuccinate, which enzymes break down into arginine and fumarate. Other enzymes further reduce the arginine into urea and ornithine. The body can then excrete the harmless urine through the urine while sending the ornithine back to the start of the urea cycle to take part in the process again.
L-arginine HCl is the hydrochloride salt of L-arginine. PureBulk derives l-arginine HCl from glucose via molasses sugar. It is vegan- and vegetarian-friendly.
Nitric oxide supports several aspects of health. Unfortunately, the body breaks it down quickly. Certain supplements inhibit this breakdown and provide nitric oxide benefits for longer.
L-Arginine and l-citrulline are some of the most popular nitric oxide boosters backed by a notable body of scientific research.
Citrulline is the precursor to l-arginine. It can sustain nitric oxide production when taken with reduced glutathione (GSH). These supplements synergize to delay the breakdown of nitric oxide.
PureBulk carries other nitric oxide boosting supplements as well, include:
Research shows that arginine supplements are likely safe, even in doses as large as 20g. However, this is excessive and can cause adverse gastrointestinal effects, such as stomach upset and diarrhea. Most individuals tolerate standard 600mg doses well. However, mild side effects may occur in some. These include stomachache, nausea, or bloating.
Individuals with impaired kidney or liver function should consult a physician before taking arginine supplements. Individuals with low blood pressure or taking blood pressure medication should discuss arginine supplements with their doctor, as arginine may reduce blood pressure. Anyone with a recent history of heart attack should not take arginine supplements.
