L-Arginine HCl (L-Arg) (Cat No.: A001157) is the hydrochloride salt form of L-arginine, a semi-essential amino acid involved in various physiological processes. It serves as a precursor to nitric oxide, a molecule that promotes vasodilation and improves blood flow, making it beneficial for cardiovascular health and exercise performance. L-Arginine also supports immune function, wound healing, and hormone secretion. Often used as a dietary supplement, it is generally well-tolerated. Mild side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, especially at higher doses.
