Arginine 200 mg/mL

Arginine is a compounded medication that is prescribed under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is an amino acid that builds proteins and is used by the body to regulate blood pressure and circulation. Arginine also has an effect on the pituitary gland and its secretion of growth hormone - thus, participating in overall healing, recovery, and anti-aging pathways. Arginine is important for cardiovascular health, muscle recovery, immune response, collagen production, hormone release, and increased energy.
