L-Arginine
Application Notes
L-Arginine plays an important role in cell division, the healing of wounds, removing ammonia from the body, immune function, and the release of hormones. It is used as a precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO),reduces healing time of injuries (particularly bone), quickens repair time of damaged tissue and decreases blood pressure.
