Additional Information
Support:
L-Arginine is required to synthesize nitric oxide in the body. It helps blood vessels to relax and expand, thus allowing more blood, oxygen and nutrients to flow to organs and muscles. Nitric oxide is a powerful neurotransmitter that helps blood vessels relax and help improve circulation. With age, nitric oxide levels fall, and studies show that a 40yr old is likely only making about half or less the amount of nitric oxide than a 20yr old.
Arginine plays an essential role in the maintenance of proper nitrogen balance through its participation in the metabolism ammonia and excretion of urea. Arginine supports normal liver detoxification processes, helping your body eliminate toxic materials and supporting overall metabolic health.
L-Arginine is classified as a “conditionally essential” amino acid. In certain stressful situations, such as illness or injury, the body requires higher levels of these amino acids from the diet. Since exercise is basically controlled injury of muscle tissue, L-Arginine supplement can benefit exercise recovery.

Buy productWhat is Betaine HCl?
648 mg Vegetarian Formula. NOW® Betaine HCl is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating pepsin, helps to maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes. Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods. HCl production tends to decline with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin may help to maintain normal digestive function. This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin. Natural colour variation may occur in this product -
