L-Arginine

Description:
L-Arginine, with the CAS number 74-79-3, is a semi-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. It is classified as a basic amino acid due to its side chain containing a guanidinium group, which contributes to its alkaline properties. L-Arginine is involved in the synthesis of proteins and serves as a precursor for the production of nitric oxide, a vital signaling molecule that regulates blood flow and vascular function. This amino acid is also important for the urea cycle, helping to eliminate ammonia from the body. L-Arginine is typically found in high-protein foods such as meat, dairy products, and nuts, and can also be synthesized in the body from other amino acids. In terms of solubility, L-Arginine is highly soluble in water, making it readily available for biological functions. It is often used as a dietary supplement for various health benefits, including enhancing exercise performance and supporting cardiovascular health. However, its supplementation should be approached with caution, as excessive intake may lead to adverse effects.
