• Arginine may be useful for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease due to its ability to repair
damaged axons by increasing polyamines levels

• Arginine is essential for the regeneration of damaged axons of neurons (its role appears to be
as an agent for degrading proteins that have been damaged through axon injury)

• Arginine facilitates the potentiation of long-term memory by stimulating the production of
nitric oxide (NO) - a neurotransmitter responsible for the potentiation (storage)
of long-term memory

• Arginine improves memory and cognitive functions

• Arginine improves pituitary responsiveness and modulates hormonal control
