Usage |
L-Arginine (CAS 74-79-3) is a multifunctional amino acid widely used in nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical injections. It plays a vital role in promoting growth hormone secretion, improving cardiovascular function, enhancing immunity, accelerating wound healing, and regulating metabolism. Due to its broad physiological benefits, it is commonly formulated into sports nutrition products, immune-boosting supplements, and clinical treatments such as amino acid infusions and wound recovery therapies. With high purity (≥99% HPLC) and compliance with EP/USP standards, it is a trusted ingredient for both dietary supplements and pharmaceutical applications.
1. Pharmaceutical Applications
(1) Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) Treatment
* Reduces blood ammonia levels by enhancing the urea cycle, commonly used as adjuvant therapy for hepatic coma (often combined with L-Ornithine L-Aspartate for synergistic effects).
* Requires renal function monitoring to avoid metabolic overload.
* Injectable formulations (e.g., amino acid infusions) support metabolic correction and neurological improvement.
(2) Infusion Solutions: A key component in compound amino acid injections for nitrogen supplementation in postoperative recovery and critical care nutrition.
2. Sports Nutrition Applications
(1) Nitric Oxide (NO) Booster
* Metabolized into NO to promote vasodilation, theoretically enhancing exercise endurance and muscle pump effect (though oral efficacy remains debated; IV administration shows more significant results).
* Frequently used in pre-workout supplements, often combined with L-Citrulline for improved bioavailability.
(2) Muscle Recovery: Stimulates growth hormone secretion, supporting protein synthesis and tissue repair—commonly formulated in post-exercise recovery products
