About





            

                
L-Arginine is the direct substrate for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the enzyme that produces nitric oxide — the primary endogenous vasodilator. A 2011 meta-analysis of 11 RCTs found L-arginine reduced systolic blood pressure by 5.39 mmHg. However, the VINTAGE MI trial was terminated early due to a trend toward increased mortality in post-MI patients, so L-arginine should be avoided in acute coronary syndromes.

            

        

        

        
        
        

            

  
How It Works





            

                
Direct substrate for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which produces nitric oxide (NO) — the primary endogenous vasodilator; NO activates soluble guanylate cyclase increasing cGMP causing smooth muscle relaxation; also inhibits platelet adhesion and aggregation; reduces endothelin-1 expression.
