L-Arginine is an essential amino acid which promotes growth hormone production. Evidence suggests that weight reduction and muscle building are enhanced by supplementation with this amino acid. Combining L-Arginine with L-Ornithine enhances this effect and together they make an incredibly potent and effective combination. Caution: If you are prone to cold sores or schizophrenic behaviour it is not recommended that you use L-Arginine - try L-Arginine PyroGlutamate & Lysine instead.
