Numerous supplements used before training contain a substance known as arginine or L-arginine. We present the following text for reading, which aims to expand knowledge about the use of arginine as a supplement and understand how it actually affects our body and whether its effect is only stimulating.
What is arginine?
In the simplest terms, it is one of the most indispensable endogenous amino acids in our body. Its application is found in numerous physiological processes of human metabolism, such as growth hormone synthesis or detoxification from unwanted and harmful metabolic byproducts. Unfortunately, the human body's production of this compound is restricted over time, which is caused by the naturally progressing aging process.
Essential viewing: L-arginine versus L-citrulline - SINGLE COMBAT
Arginine is renowned for its wide-ranging effects on the human body, as reflected in its various applications. L-arginine can be employed for both professional purposes (here referring to bodybuilding and strength-endurance disciplines) and recreational activities to promote the delivery of nutrients to muscle tissue. The primary function of arginine is the production of nitric oxide (NO), which is essential for facilitating the transport of nutrients into muscle tissue. This function is dependent on the dilation of blood vessels. Due to its impact on smooth muscles, nitric oxide is a substance that contributes to avoiding certain cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension disorders and heart attacks. It is also responsible for producing other essential components, such as agmatine, which effectively increases the level of cyclic nucleotides in our body. Thanks to this property, one can assume that the discussed components contribute to the formation of new muscle cells. Apart from the aforementioned properties, L-arginine supplementation also promotes the following effects: - enhancement of post-training recovery; - participation in the synthesis of growth hormone and insulin; - stimulation of kidney function; - acceleration of wound healing; - detoxification of the body; - delaying the aging process.
L-arginine Dosage
The suggested daily dosage range for L-arginine should be between 3 and 8 grams. It is thought that the best results appear after consumption of the supplement prior to exercise and/or before bedtime. No adverse effects are reported with the recommended doses. However, prolonged use of the supplement (without breaks) may lead to excessive nitric oxide production, elevated blood pressure, reduced heart muscle performance, as well as issues with the digestive system. The fundamental contraindications for the use of L-arginine include: difficulties with the patency of the biliary tract, severe hypertension, digestive complications, hypersensitivity, and impaired renal function.
Summation
The above-mentioned facts present arginine as a highly positively evaluated component. It turns out that it is not only a key factor in the regulation of our body's physiology but also essential for muscle mass increase, which is the goal of most athletes. This medication is safe enough, yet only on the condition that we allow it to be so. We should remember that - similar to most supplements - optimal results can be achieved through systematic and controlled dosing, which we will not allow ourselves to do by increasing the dose.
