[edward rana]

First isolated in 1886, L Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid. Normally the body produces enough, but under certain conditions a supplement Nitroxin  is necessary. People with protein malnutrition, excessive ammonia production, excessive lysine intake, burns, infections, rapid growth or septicemia may need supplements of arginine.
