Arginine is an important amino acid that is made naturally in our body, and of course, sometimes, such as diseases and stress conditions, it is difficult to make it in our body, in which case it is better to take it as a supplement. The main sources of making and receiving this amino acid are nuts, seeds, beans, fish, and chicken.
Research has shown that arginine stimulates muscle building, improves blood circulation, and increases the release of resting growth hormone. This amino acid is effective in the synthesis and production of creatine in our body. Because this amino acid is lipolytic, it is effective in burning fat and improving body composition.
This supplement is also known as a pump-type supplement due to the production of nitric oxide.
According to the above, it is used by athletes for muscle growth, better recovery and energy during training, fat burning, and sometimes to increase growth hormone to increase height.
The recommended dosage for this supplement is between 2 and 9 grams per day and it has not shown dangerous effects even up to 20 grams per day. The use of this supplement has always been investigated in research and has brought different results. For example, some researchers have recommended that a small dose of it be used before training to have an effect on strength and energy during training, and sometimes it is recommended to use more than 6 grams per day to improve growth hormone.
