REPORT DESCRIPTION
Arginine Market– Overview
Arginine, which is also known as L-arginine, is an essential amino acid for humans. Arginine is present in
all protein-containing foods such as grains, beans, nuts, meat, dairy products, and eggs, and it is also
synthesized in the body from glutamine via citrulline amino acid. Arginine plays an important role in cell
division, wound healing, removal of ammonia from the body, boosting immune function, and in the release
of hormones.
Increasing researches on arginine as an adjuvant for the treatment of various diseases is expected to drive
growth of the arginine market. For instance, an article published in PLOS One journal in May 2015
suggested that arginine might alter multi-species oral biofilm development and may also break down dental
plaque, which could help millions of people in preventing dental decay and gum diseases.
