L-Arginine

What is L-Argenine?

L-Arginine is an amino acid, often referred to as a
"conditionally essential" amino acid because while the body can
produce it, supplementation may become necessary in certain conditions, such as
during times of illness or stress. It plays a crucial role in various
physiological processes, including protein synthesis, cell division, and the
production of nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that
helps relax blood vessels, leading to improved circulation and cardiovascular
health. L-Arginine is found in a variety of foods, including meat, poultry,
fish, dairy products, nuts, and seeds, and it is also available as a dietary
supplement.

Our Formulation

The Unived L-Argenine supplement contains 1300mg pure
L-Argenine per serving.

Major benefits:

Increased Blood Flow to Muscles: By dilating blood vessels,
L-Arginine ensures that muscles receive adequate oxygen and nutrients during
exercise. This can lead to improved stamina and endurance, allowing individuals
to sustain intense workouts for longer periods.[1]

Enhanced Exercise Performance: With improved blood flow and
nutrient delivery, muscles can perform at their peak capacity for a longer
duration. This may translate to better strength, power, and overall performance
during workouts, whether it's lifting weights, running, or engaging in
high-intensity interval training (HIIT). [2]

Delayed Fatigue: L-Arginine supplementation may help delay
the onset of fatigue during prolonged exercise sessions. By optimizing oxygen
delivery and reducing the accumulation of metabolic byproducts like lactic
acid, L-Arginine can prolong exercise endurance and improve overall workout
quality. [3]

Quicker Recovery: Post-exercise recovery is crucial for
muscle repair and growth. L-Arginine supports this process by facilitating the
delivery of amino acids and nutrients to muscles, promoting faster recovery and
reducing muscle soreness after workouts. This allows individuals to bounce back
quickly and train more effectively in subsequent sessions. [4]

Support for Cardiovascular Health: Alongside its benefits
for workout performance, L-Arginine supplementation may also contribute to
cardiovascular health by improving endothelial function, lowering blood
pressure, and reducing the risk of heart-related issues. A healthy
cardiovascular system is essential for optimal exercise capacity and overall
well-being. [5]
