Solgar® L-Arginine 1000 mg contains arginine, one of the twenty amino acids that participate in numerous pathways in the body. Amino acids are the fundamental components of proteins and are necessary in many functions of the body. It is divided into essential and non essentials". Essential amino acids are understood to be 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 that it must obtain through the diet. Foods that increase the supply of amino acids are meat, beans, cheese and eggs. Arginine is a non-essential amino acid and, although the body can synthesize it, some groups of people can benefit from an extra supply. It is popular with athletes for its role in muscle metabolism by assisting in the transport, storage, and excretion of nitrogen. It is also found in high concentrations in the skin and connective tissue. Solgar® L-Arginine 1000 mg is administered once a day in an easy-to-take vegetable capsule.
