L-ARGININE 1000mg. SOLGAR tablets .
Amino acids are the fundamental components of proteins and are necessary for numerous bodily functions .
They are divided into “essential” and “non-essential” . Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce but must obtain from the diet .
The body can also use amino acids to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies, and nutrient transporters . An insufficient intake of essential amino acids increases the body's need for non-essential amino acids, which it must obtain through diet.
Foods that increase amino acid intake include meat, beans, cheese, and eggs. Arginine is a non-essential amino acid , and although the body can synthesize it, some groups of people may benefit from an extra supply.
