L-Arginine: A Key Amino Acid Amino acids are organic compounds that make up the "building blocks" of protein. They are very important to good health. Arginine is a key amino acid the body uses extensively, especially in the cardiovascular system.

Arginine plays these roles:

• Supports healthy immune system.

• Is important for muscle metabolism and growth.
• Improves function of cardiovascular system.
• Helps repair tissues.
• Is responsible for release of growth hormones.
