What is L-arginine? What are some AdvoCare® products that contain L- arginine?
L- Arginine is one of the 20 natural amino acid constituents of proteins. It is a precursor for the biosynthesis not only of proteins but also of nitric oxide (NO), urea (which facilitates elimination of excess nitrogen [detrimental ammonia] through the kidneys), cell and gene regulating substances (polyamines), amino acids such as L-proline, L-glutamate, creatine and potential neuroprotective agents (agmatine). L- Arginine is an essential amino acid during childhood. However, it is regarded as nonessential for healthy adults because it can be synthesized in the human body from amino acids such as L-glutamate and L-glutamine. L-Arginine is often described as a conditionally essential amino acid. Humans derive L-arginine from dietary protein, biosynthesis within the body (endogenous) and turnover of body proteins. L-Arginine occurs in rice, soy, oat, poultry, pork, meat, fish, eggs, beans, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, buckwheat, wheat germ, granola and dairy products.
