Cardiovascular System

Arginine improves blood circulation, improves exercise capability and facilitates vasodilation in angina patients

Arginine helps to prevent atherosclerosis and reduces the severity of existing atherosclerosis

Arginine inhibits the adhesion of monocytes to the endothelium (an underlying event in the
course of atherosclerosis)

Arginine improves blood circulation (by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, an endogenous neurotransmitter that helps to prevent vasoconstriction and which initiates vasodilation by
relaxing the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels)

Arginine helps to prevent abnormal blood clotting (by stimulating the production of plasmin
and by increasing vasodilation)

Arginine helps to prevent free radicals-induced damage to the lining of blood vessels (by enhancing the production of nitric oxide in blood vessels)

Arginine significantly increases stroke volume and cardiac output (without effect on
heartbeat rate) in congestive heart failure patients. It also increases vasodilation
(leading to increased blood circulation) in congestive heart failure patients

Arginine reverses consequences of coronary heart disease
