Description

D-Arginine HCl is a nonessential amino acid that has been shown to increase the release of acetylcholine in the brain, which is important for learning and memory. It has also been shown to inhibit urea nitrogen production by blocking arginase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of urea. D-Arginine HCl has been used as a diuretic, but there is some evidence that it may have a biphasic response. This means that it causes increased urination at low doses and decreased urination at higher doses. D-Arginine HCl may be useful as an analgesic agent because it inhibits the production of nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (LNMMA), which causes pain.
