Solgar® L-Arginine 500 mg contains arginine, one of the twenty amino acids involved in numerous pathways in the body.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are necessary in many functions of the body. They are divided into "essential" and "non-essential". Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce but must obtain from the diet. The body can also use amino acids to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient transporters. An insufficient supply of essential amino acids increases the body's need for the non-essential amino acids it must get through the diet. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs.

Arginine is a non-essential amino acid and, although the body can synthesize it, some groups of people may benefit from an extra contribution. It is popular among athletes for its role in muscle metabolism as it helps transport, storage and excretion of nitrogen. It is also found in high concentrations in the skin and connective tissue.

Solgar® L-Arginine 500 mg is administered once a day in an easy-to-take vegetarian capsule.
