L-arginine has been shown to promote natural growth hormone (GH) release from the pituitary gland. GH promotes healthy anabolic metabolism throughout the body, helping to maintain youthful protein synthesis within cells. Dairy, meat and poultry, and fish are good sources of arginine. Nuts and chocolate also contain significant amounts of this amino acid.

L-arginine is an essential amino acid that has been show to lower blood pressure, treat Hypertension and promote wound healing. Athletes have also found L-Arginine to be beneficial for muscle recovery and Growth Hormone Release. Arginine has so far appeared to be free of obvious side effects. Arginine is a vasodilator; in other words, it increases blood flow so the heart can pump more blood at a lower level. Theoretically, this translates into improved cardiovascular performance.
