L-Arginine 2000 (Capsules)

L-Arginine is an essential amino acid in times of stress and a precursor for the formation of nitric oxide: it helps to cause the relaxation of blood vessels and is involved in the processes of transport, storage and excretion of nitrogen¹.

There are several scientific studies that explain the benefits of supplementation with L-Arginine. Among them, it is highlighted that its intake helps to improve wound healing by promoting cell replication and immune response¹ and that, associated with a weight training program, its oral administration enhances the exercise stimuli at the level of the skeletal muscles, providing greater strength and muscle mass².

Others claim that this substance stimulates the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland; that it is one of the precursors of creatine; and that it is essential for the production of urea (necessary for the removal of toxic ammonia from the body)³.

In the formulation of L-Arginine 2000, Vitobest® uses L-Arginine from Ajinomoto®, the renowned Japanese brand with over 100 years of experience that only uses amino acids isolated by fermentation; and vitamin C (Quali®-C) (DSM®), which acts as an important antioxidant.
