L-arginine

[Guest guest]

I have received e-mails asking what I want to take this for-

obviously people who think an item can only be used for one

purpose. For anyone interested this is more than a " sex enhancing "

pill. There are studies being done about it's help for heart

health, bone strength, high blood pressure and asthma. This is

what I found on one website. Maybe it will broaden your ideas.

Also, I would prefer if anyone has further questions to please post

them to the group and not my e-mail.

 

L-Arginine is what is called a semi-essential amino acid.

 

Our bodies cannot make it naturally, and we have to get it from our

diets. L-Arginine is found in founds such as oily fish, nuts, seeds,

raisins and chocolate.

 

You can also buy it in tablet form, either alone or in combination

with other proteins.

 

What Does L-Arginine Do?

 

Many studies now prove that L-Arginine is useful in basic bodily

functions, such as the secretion of hormones, boosting the immune

system, and is a great anti-oxidant (helping the body remove free

radicals and toxins) from the body.

 

L-Arginine is partially responsible for the production of nitric

oxide in our body, which is a `vasodilator' (helps veins expand or

dilate).

 

Understanding this quality, doctors often use L-Arginine for

cardiovascular ailments (high blood pressure, angina, and so on).

Other studies indicate that L-Arginine taken as a dietary supplement

can aid in lowering the levels of `bad' cholesterol, regulating our

normal salt levels, and even assisting in the metabolism of fats.
