L-Arginine 500mg Twinlab

Proteins are composed of twenty-four constituents, of which, Arginine is one of them.

Erections first start in the brain and are provoked by nerve stimulation. The brain sends signals to the penis, the vessels irrigating the penis dilate and the muscles protecting the entry of spongy tissues loosen, allowing the blood to pass in hollow tissues. The more blood there is, greater the erection will be.

Arginine allows the body to produce nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide participates in the erection process and provokes softening of smooth cells, thus, increasing blood flow to the penile arteries.

A clinical study conducted in 1994, on fifteen impotent men, proved the effectiveness of Arginine in treating erection problems.
A supplemental daily intake of 2.8g of Arginine was administered to them for two weeks.
Amongst them 6, being 40%, had a positive reaction to Arginine treatment, and had showed an overall improvement of their erection.
Those who took placebo had not seen any improvement of their erection.
Those, for whom the Arginine treatment worked, were on average the age of 37.5, and those for whom the treatment had not improved, their erection were on average the age of 55.4.

Arginine improves the immune system and muscle mass.
Arginine is used to effectively treat erection problems, as well as feminine sexual dysfunctions.

Arginine also controls proper function of the immune system and the secretion of certain hormones, such as the growth hormone.

Arginine is involved in the elimination of ammonia by the body, the wound healing process, and cell division.

A deficiency in Arginine can lead to constipation, fatty liver, rashes, hair loss, and bad wound healing.

Wounds or serious infections, burns, too much lysine intake, problems provoking an overproduction of ammonia, chronic undernourishment, and certain congenital diseases which inhibit normal urea synthesis, may lead to Arginine deficiency.
