L-Arginine
(Ajinomoto Monohydrochloride)
L-Arginine is a nonessential amino acid (the body can produce it on its own) and it is necessary for normal functioning of the pituitary gland. Males, whose seminal fluids contain up to 80% of this protein building block, especially need l-arginine for a deficiency could lead to infertility. As people age the production of L-Arginine decreases and many experts believe this is responsible for many degenerative processes related to aging, thus it plays an important role in maintaining health (including sexual health).
L-Arginine, through its availability and metabolization of nitric oxide (a gas that's responsible for transmitting important signals and regulating cellular functions in the body), has many beneficial effects. It dilates and engorges the blood vessels in the penis and clitoris, facilitating erections in males and genital responsiveness in females.
This versatile amino acid assists with maximum sexual performance by increasing the supply of nitric oxide in the body, resulting in strong erections and increased sexual functions. L-Arginine has other health-related benefits related to regulating the blood pressure including improving blood flow, reducing plaque build-up, and lowering cholesterol.
For those who aren't familiar with how the impotency drug Viagra® works, it primarily also works through the nitric oxide (NO) system to increase blood flow and engorge the blood vessels - very similar to L-Arginine.
One double-blind study found evidence that a combination treatment including arginine could benefit both men AND women. In a four-week, double-blind study, 136 men and 77 women with decreased libido were given either a combination product or placebo (sugar pill). Women taking the arginine product showed greater improvement such as increased reported sexual desire in 71% compared to 22% in the placebo group. Men showed an even greater response - 84% compared to 17.6% in placebo (this could be because men have more muscle mass than women).
Both groups treated with L-Arginine reported other improvements such as improved satisfaction with sex life, improved frequency of orgasms, and improved clitoral and penis sensation.
