L-Arginine, Arginine is an amino acid found in many foods, including dairy products, meat, poultry, fish and nuts. It plays a role in several important mechanisms in the body, including cell division, wound healing, removal of ammonia from the body, immunity to illness, and the secretion of important hormones.

The body also uses arginine to make nitric oxide (NO), a substance that relaxes blood vessels and also exerts numerous other effects in the body.
