Enhancers the immune system
The amino acid, L-arginine is an immune system enhancer. It stimulates the thymus gland, boosts white blood cell production and stimulates release of growth hormone. The free base form of arginine has the same benefits as the hydrochloride (HCl) form. The free base form is more suited for encapsulation due to its bitter taste.
L-arginine has shown a positive effect in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease (including atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and angina pectoris), in the treatment of some forms of male infertility, some kidney disorders and shown to be helpful in accelerating wound healing. There is preliminary evidence that it could be helpful in some men with erectile dysfunction and in some others with migraine, liver disease and primary ciliary dyskinesia.
Recommended dosage:
Two to six capsules per day on an empty stomach.
Caution:
Use only as directed. Not for use by diabetics, borderline diabetics, pregnant or lactating women, cancer patients or persons who have had ocular or brain herpes. High dietary levels of arginine and/or ornithine may cause reactivation of latent herpes viruses in a few susceptible individuals. If this occurs, discontinue use. Persons with phenylketonuria (PKU) should not take this product.
