What are the Benefits of L-Arginine?

L-Arginine is a protein amino acid that is present in all life forms on the earth. It is an "essential" amino acid that is needed for normal body function and healing. It is especially essential for young children and possibly older people, as it stimulates the production of growth hormone.

Normally our bodies produce enough L-arginine for normal body function, but certain injuries or conditions can cause you to not produce enough L-arginine for your body to work or heal properly.

Some foods that naturally have this amino acid in them are poultry, pork, dairy products, seafood, nuts, chickpeas, soy beans, and chocolate. Yes, another scientific reason for eating chocolate!

The benefits of L-arginine can also be gained from L-Arginine Supplements made from plant and animal proteins.


The History of L-Arginine

L-arginine was isolated in 1886 by researchers. In 1932 it was found to be necessary for the production of urea, which helps to remove the toxic ammonia from our bodies. In 1939 it was found to be necessary for the production of creatine, which is used by bodybuilders or athletes to increase strength and body mass.


More Benefits of L-arginine

L-arginine stimulates the production of growth hormones, so it is necessary for small children to grow into adults. It is also especially useful in the healing process from trauma, sepsis, and burns.

Some studies indicate that L-arginine shows some promise in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, by reducing blood pressure and lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Another of the benefits of L-arginine is how it also is believed to help in impotence and fertility problems in men. The studies are still ongoing on L-arginine, but it shows great promise in these areas.

It can also boost immunity and therefore may be helpful in keeping you healthy and well. It also accelerates wound healing which is greatly needed in the case of major burns or injuries.


Any L-arginine Side Effects?

L-arginine should not be taken by pregnant or nursing women as it stimulates growth hormone in young children. If you have herpes, then it is not recommended that you take L-arginine as it can stimulate the herpes infection. If you are taking medication for high blood pressure, impotence, migraines, or any other problem, or if you have a history of kidney or liver disease, you need to check with your doctor before taking L-arginine.


How to get the Benefits of L-arginine
How do you know if you have an L-arginine deficiency? Some symptoms are poor wound healing, skin rashes, fatty liver, hair loss, or constipation. If you experience these symptoms, then you need to contact your doctor before trying L-arginine as they could be symptoms of other diseases or conditions.

If you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or are experiencing impotency, it would be a good idea to check with your doctor to see if L-arginine is right for you.


Closing Thoughts on L-arginine
L-arginine has many great benefits for the typical adult. It has promise in reducing your bad cholesterol, blood pressure, and cardiovascular damage. It is used in helping with impotency and other sexual dysfunctions in both men and women.
