Overview:

What is Arginine? Arginine is an amino acid that plays a role in the synthesis of nitric oxide; nitric oxide is essentially the holy grail of ingredients when it comes to enhancing blood flow. As blood is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients into muscle tissue and removal of waste products out of muscle, improvements in blood flow pose significant performance benefits.

However, while Arginine does convert to nitric oxide, there are far more effective ingredients. For example, citrulline converts to arginine, which then converts to nitric oxide. However, citrulline is much more bioavailable compared to arginine. This means that if you were to take the same amounts of arginine and citrulline, citrulline would produce more nitric oxide than arginine itself.

Now there are ways to improve the bioavailability of arginine. The ingredient Nitrosigine is a special form of arginine that is highly bioavailable. As far as supplementing with pure arginine itself, considering how far sports nutrition has come in the last few years, there's better ingredients.
