Natural Factors L-Arginine provides 500 mg of free-form L-arginine, as the hydrochloride, in a vegan capsule. May help support a modest improvement in exercise capacity in individuals with stable cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
What is L-arginine?
Arginine is one of the 20 amino acids the body uses to assemble proteins. It is called non-essential because the body can make its own supply, although it is also taken in from food. Meat, fish, dairy products, nuts and seeds are all good dietary sources. "Free-form" means the amino acid is on its own and not bound up in a larger protein. The hydrochloride is a common, stable salt of arginine used in capsules.
Key features
500 mg L-arginine (hydrochloride) per capsule
Free-form amino acid
90 vegetarian capsules
Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and non-GMO
Why a single amino acid?
Protein powders and foods deliver arginine mixed in with every other amino acid. A stand-alone capsule lets you add a known quantity of arginine by itself, and the 500 mg size makes it simple to adjust the amount.

Several years ago I attended lectures by PhD's on the benefits of L-Arginine. A Nobel prize was awarded for the research on this amino acid. It is naturally occurring in the body and decreases as we age. Both my husband and I take this supplement for heart health. It is a staple in our regime. We take the amount according to what our body dictates and neither of us are on BP or any other kind of cardiac medications. We are average everyday people. I love the capsules as the pills are so large. Personally speaking I feel that everyone age 45 and up should include this in their daily supplements. Please do your own research on L-Arginine.

two reasons that I refrain comment:1 I cannot personally feel the effect of the product 2 It would be unwise for me to give a real referal, in light of the covid/pharmacy/medical restrictions on speaking about or refering alternate products.however, it is great to see more natural health care providers speaking up. Thank you.
