Brand: R-Gene 10, Argine, Arginaid
Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning it's typically produced by the body in sufficient amounts but may require supplementation under certain conditions like growth, stress, or illness. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, wound healing, ammonia removal, and immune function. It's also a precursor for nitric oxide, a molecule that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Used for wound healing, erectile dysfunction, pre-eclampsia, and as a nutritional supplement.
