ARGININE
Arginine is another popular amino acid and a common ingredient in most pre-workouts . It is well known for increasing blood flow to muscles and enhancing the pump that everyone in the gym is striving for , and this ability makes it excellent for overall health as well .
More specifically , arginine is an amino acid that is converted into nitric oxide by nitric oxide synthase . This specific metabolite then results in increased blood flow to the working muscle , which gives you an increased pump and muscle fullness .
The only downside with arginine is that our body metabolizes it relatively quickly and a lot of what you digest is not fully utilized for the result we want , which is the pump . Nevertheless , in some clinical investigations , arginine supplementation has been demonstrated to increase blood flow . However , these results are not consistent , and new research is starting to suggest that other amino acids can help arginine enhance blood flow even further .
Although known for its ability to maximize the pump , arginine exerts a number of impressive health-related benefits on its user . A recent meta-study from the Journal of Advanced Research found that arginine can improve gastrointestinal health , wound healing , and even sexual function in men . Scientists describe it as a viable anti-aging supplement and lists several other benefits that come with arginine supplementation , such as improved immune function , circulation , and anti-stress capabilities .
