BrandsNow Foods L-Arginine & Ornithine 500 / 250mg 100 Capsules
NOW® L-Arginine and L-Ornithine combine two essential amino acids into one ideal dietary supplement. Like most amino acids, L-arginine is a component of proteins. In contrast, L-ornithine is not usually included in proteins.
L-arginine and L-ornithine play an important role in the urea cycle, which removes toxic ammonia. L-arginine and L-ornithine also play a normal role in stimulating the pituitary gland that releases growth hormone. Growth hormone is very important for the growth and development of children as well as the muscles of adults. It also improves the immune function of the thymus gland and stimulates wound healing.
L-arginine is a precursor to two substances found in sperm called spermidine and spermine. This amino acid is a particularly rich component of semen and makes up 80% of this substance. Numerous studies report the use of arginine supplements to treat male infertility. L-arginine can help treat male infertility by improving sperm production and motility.
Wound healing can be accelerated by the use of L-arginine and / or L-ornithine supplements. These two amino acids appear to stimulate collagen formation.
L-arginine improves the bioavailability of nitric oxide (a potent vasodilator) and therefore plays an important role in heart health and blood circulation.
