L-Arginine is an endogenous amino acid also found in meat, dairy, grains, and legumes. L-Arginine exhibits vasodilatory and antihypertensive activities, as it is a precursor to the formation of NO. L-Arginine decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure, improving cardiovascular and endothelial function. L-Arginine also enhances wound healing by increases collagen deposition.
