Arginine is present in almost all proteins. It can be produced by the body itself, but supplemental L-arginine is recommended when the body is unable to fully supply itself, such as during illness, poor nutrition, and especially during heavy physical activity.
Arginine is involved in many processes. It is necessary for the functioning of muscles and the growth of muscle tissue; it is also important for the immune system and for men's health. In the liver, arginine helps produce urea and break down ammonia. In the human body, arginine is easily converted into ornithine and vice versa. It is for this reason that arginine is sometimes replaced with ornithine or used in combination.
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by L-arginine. NO is needed to dilate blood vessels and regulate blood flow. By stimulating the production of nitric oxide, arginine helps regulate the amount of sugar and fats in the blood. Research has shown that L-arginine also supports heart health. L-arginine is also necessary for the release of growth hormone and insulin.
How do athletes benefit from arginine?
Numerous studies have shown that nitric oxide (NO) is produced when arginine is taken as a supplement. Based on the latest evidence, IronMaxx has developed its own NO-activator Arginin Simplex 800. Arginin Simplex 800 contains the required amount of high-quality free form L-arginine.
NO increases blood flow and, as a result, gives a pumping effect. This means that the muscles are constantly supplied with nutrients and can grow 24 hours a day. At the same time, when athletes take arginine, an acceleration of all recovery processes is observed.
