Arginine
Arginine- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Detailed studies have proven that arginine works by stimulating blood vessel dilation.Congestive Heart Failure5.6 to 15 grams per day with a doctor's supervision [2 stars] The body needs arginine to make nitric oxide, which increases blood flow. This process is impaired in people with CHF. It also has been shown to improve kidney function in people with CHF.Erectile Dysfunction1,670 to 2,800 mg daily [2 stars] Blood vessels need arginine to dilate and form an erection. Supplementing with arginine has been shown to help men with erectile dysfunction in some studies.HIV and AIDS Support and Preservation of Lean Body Mass

Comments about NOW NUTRITION Now® Sports Arginine & Citrulline:
purchased because research indicated that arginine and citrulline improve nitric oxide production which is necessary for good sexual performance - similar to viagra.
Comments about NOW NUTRITION Now® Sports Arginine & Citrulline:
Nobel Prize winner Dr. Louis Ignarro who pioneered using these amino acids to boost NO and obtain helpful blood vessel effects recommends 4 to 6 grams of L-arginine daily, at bedtime. This is 4000 mg a day, so you would need to take 8 of these pills a day.
