Solgar L-Arginine L-Ornithine

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the body. They are classified as "essential" or "non-essential", with essential amino acids meaning they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to maintain good all-round health. Amino acids can be further used by the body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies, and nutrient carriers. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the bodys need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet or supplementation. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese, and eggs. Arginine is a non-essential amino acid, and although it can be created by the body, some groups of people can benefit from an increased intake. It is popular with athletes because of its essential role in muscle metabolism, helping the generation and regeneration of tissue, and is highly concentrated in the skin and connective tissues Features of SOLGAR L-Arginine L-Ornithine 500mg/250mg 50 Vegetable Capsules L-ARGININE: L-Arginine is an amino acid that is utilized in the formation of protein as well as in the synthesis of creatine which is a bioactive compound involved in the transferring of energy in muscles L-ORNITHINE: L-Ornithine is an intermediate compound that is involved in the process of synthesizing L-Arginine in the body OPTIMAL ABSORPTION: These vegetable capsules provide Free Form L-Arginine and L-Ornithine to promote ideal assimilation and optimal absorption Free of Gluten, Wheat, Yeast, Sugar, Salt, Artificial Flavors, Artificial Sweeteners, Artificial Preservatives, Artificial Colors.
