L-arginine

L-arginine is one of the nitrogen-rich amino acids. It is a semi-essential amino acid because, although the body can produce it itself, the amount is not always sufficient in various situations.

L-arginine is particularly highly regarded among athletes. A sufficient supply of L-arginine is essential for both endurance and regeneration.

The BAG does not allow any official health-related statements on L-arginine.

We use L-arginine hydrochloride for your mix. This is the most commonly used L-arginine compound.

The maximum daily dose of L-arginine for food supplements has been set by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) at 2500mg. With a balanced mixed diet, you will already consume around 5 grams of arginine per day.

There is no known real deficiency in L-arginine. Only in certain diseases, such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, is less L-arginine produced in the body. However, this can also be compensated for with a conscious and balanced diet.
