L-Arginine SR | Physica Energetix

L-Arginine SR (sustained release) supports healthy nitric oxide (NO) levels and may help promote cardiovascular health. L-arginine helps endothelial cells produce nitric oxide, which signals blood vessel muscles to relax and widen. This process, known as vasodilation, supports healthy blood flow and circulation.
Because the body rapidly absorbs and metabolizes L-arginine, maintaining adequate levels can be challenging. Sustained-release L-arginine is designed to provide a more gradual release over time, helping maintain L-arginine levels for up to 24 hours and reducing the need for frequent supplementation.

Description
L-Arginine SR (sustained release) supports healthy nitric acid (NO) levels and may help maintain cardiovascular health.
Nitric oxide is a natural reactive gas that plants and animals produce. L-arginine is needed by endothelial cells lining the endothelium of blood vessels to form enough NO to keep blood flowing freely. In a healthy artery, the endothelium is smooth and flexible; it easily widens or dilates (vasodilation). NO is manufactured in the endothelium via three enzymes collectively called nitric oxide synthase (NOS). One of those enzymes, endothelial nitric oxide synthase or e-NOS, starts the activation of NO in the endothelium, resulting in the creation of the molecule dubbed endothelium-derived relaxing factor.
NO diffuses out of the endothelium into a layer beneath it, the smooth muscle of the artery. There, it signals the muscles to relax, widen and expand vasodilation.
This increases blood flow, providing a steady current of nutrient and oxygen-rich blood circulating throughout the body.
When the opposite occurs, blood squeezes through a tense, tightened, smaller artery. Blood pressure rises; increased pressure damages the artery walls; plaque grows; chronic inflammation results; the potential for stroke increases; CVD becomes an issue, along with heart attack.
One of the challenges with L-arginine is its absorption rate. The body very rapidly absorbs and metabolizes L-arginine. This means we would likely have to take supplements frequently during the day to maintain sufficient levels of L-arginine. Sustained-release (SR) helps maintain an optimal level of L-arginine in the system over a 24-hour period, reducing the need to take supplements frequently.
