What does it do?

L-arginine is an amino acid that is naturally produced in the body and is used in medications for vasodilation and improved blood flow. It is mainly utilized in the treatment of blood circulation disorders and helps in the production of nitric oxide in the blood vessels.

L-arginine is converted in the body to a substance called nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels. This results in wider blood vessels and smoother blood flow, thus improving blood circulation.
