Know Your Bodybuilding Supplement - L-arginine
By Rick Mitchell, Thu Dec 8th

Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that the body cannotmake naturally. It is found in nuts, seeds, chocolate andraisins.

Arginine is used by the body in the execution of many importantphysiological processes including hormone secretion, output ofgrowth hormone, removal of toxins from the body and enhancementof the immune system. It is also a precursor of nitric oxidewhich vasodiolates vessels in the body. For this reason arginineis often used to treat conditions such as angina, high bloodpressure, cardiac disease, sexual dysfunction and infertility.Recent research has also highlighted arginine's ability toscavenge free radicals, remove bad cholesterol, enhance fatmetabolism and regulate salt levels.

There are several reasons why arginine appeals to bodybuilders:


1. It prevents the retention of water under the skin thusminimizing bloating and helping to create a ripped appearance.

2. It helps the body to retain nitrogen that is essential to themuscle building process.

3. Its vasodilating abilities support muscle growth.

4. It enhances protein synthesis.

5. It helps to boost the immune system allowing harder trainingand minimizing the minor illnesses that come from overtraining.

With any amino acid supplement overdosing can lead to weaknessand nausea so care should be taken in applying small doses andincreasing them gradually until an optimum level is reached.Bear in mind that many protein powders and other supplements arefortified with amino acids so check the labels carefully. Themanufacturer's instructions should be followed in all instances.
