What is it?
L-arginine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the small building blocks of protein. Your body makes some arginine, and you also get it from foods such as meat, fish, dairy, nuts and seeds.
Your body uses arginine to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps blood vessels relax and widen, which is why arginine is so common in circulation and men's health products. In SodaPower it is listed as L-Arginine Base.
