Product information "pure encapsulations® L-Arginine Capsules"
Rely on quality: L-arginine capsules from Pure Encapsulations® in hypoallergenic production. The semi-essential amino acid supports the body as an important building block, especially when there is an increased requirement.
L-arginine is one of the semi-essential amino acids. This means that it can be produced by the body itself - but not always in sufficient quantities. If you have an increased requirement, supplements of tested quality such as L-arginine from Pure Encapsulations® can help you with your supply situation.
Arginine effect
Amino acids are organic compounds that your organism needs as building blocks for the body's own substances. Did you know that L-arginine is the only amino acid from which nitric oxide (NO) can be produced? This messenger substance plays an important role in vascular function, good blood circulation and also in the regulation of blood pressure. Nitric oxide has to be produced again and again from the amino acid L-arginine. This happens in the "endothelium" - the inner layer of your vascular wall. If your body lacks arginine and the endothelium cannot produce enough nitric oxide, this can affect the intact function of the vascular wall.1,2 The amino acid L-arginine therefore plays an important role for your cardiovascular system and your health in its function as an "NO booster".
Arginine in food
As the body's own synthesis of arginine cannot always meet its needs, we need to obtain the amino acid daily from our diet. A healthy and balanced diet should always form the basis for the supply of all important micronutrients. However, some phases of life can also lead to an increased requirement - this is always the case when you are under a lot of stress. Athletes or people in growth and regeneration phases therefore have an increased need for this important amino acid. Among plant-based foods, L-arginine is found in pumpkin seeds, peanuts and pine nuts, for example. Animal foods that provide you with the amino acid include chicken breast, lamb, prawns and tuna.3 As it is not always easy to consume enough arginine-rich foods - or the requirement may be increased in certain phases of life - supplements of tested quality can also support your supply of L-arginine.
