Arginine is an amino acid that is used in the body for a variety of functions. As the biochemical precursor to nitric oxide, arginine is important for both cardiovascular health as well as optimal immune function.
The role of arginine in the cardiovascular system is important due to the production of nitric oxide, which has the effect of dilating blood vessels and thereby increasing blood flow and lowering blood pressure. In accord with its vasodilating function, arginine has been used in clinical studies in men with erectile dysfunction, as well as people with hypertension.
Beyond its role in the production of nitric oxide, arginine also plays a role in inhibiting certain key processes that are necessary for the development of atherosclerosis. These concepts have been detailed by John P. Cooke, MD, PhD (Professor of Medicine, Director of Vascular Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine) in his book The Cardiovascular Cure.
