Part Description

LP15416-8   Arginine
Arginine (symbol Arg or R) is an amino acid. The L-form (L-arginine) is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids. In mammals, arginine is classified as a conditionally essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individuals. Infants are unable to effectively synthesize arginine, making it nutritionally essential for them. Adults, however, are able to synthesize arginine in the urea cycle. The body uses arginine for a variety of purposes, including boosting immune system function and improving blood flow. Arginine sources include diet, medication, and/or nutritional supplements. Dietary sources include meat, dairy products and fish. Source: Medline Plus, MedlinePlus: L-arginine
