This \u003cstrong\u003eL-Arginine\u003c\/strong\u003e from NOW Foods provides 1000 mg per tablet, in the form of L-arginine HCl. Arginine is one of the amino acids your body uses to build proteins. With 1000 mg in a single tablet, you limit the number of tablets per day, without having to measure powder. A tub contains 120 vegan tablets, from a brand that has been producing and testing its own supplements for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat arginine is in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Arginine is one of them, and it is found throughout the body, from muscle tissue to the walls of your blood vessels. Your body largely produces arginine itself from other substances, and you also get it through your diet. Arginine is thus one of the amino acids partly produced by the body and partly obtained through diet. During certain periods of life or when there is increased need, the body does not always produce enough, and dietary intake then becomes more important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the diet, arginine is mainly found in protein-rich products. Nuts and seeds stand out, with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and almonds being known sources. It is also found in meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and legumes such as chickpeas and lentils. Beyond its role as a protein building block, arginine also serves as a raw material in your body: it is the starting point from which your cells form, among other things, nitric oxide (NO), a small signaling molecule. It is precisely because arginine is used as a raw material in so many places at once that it is an amino acid often supplemented in isolation rather than as part of a broad formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArginine is also found in the world of sports and among people with an active lifestyle, who like to determine for themselves which isolated amino acids they take. As the body does not always increase its own production when the need increases, some people choose to supplement arginine separately rather than relying solely on diet. Everyone's needs vary greatly depending on the person and diet; a person who consumes a lot of nuts and legumes naturally already gets quite a bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eL-arginine HCl and the meaning of 1000 mg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label indicates L-arginine HCl. This is the amino acid arginine bound to hydrochloric acid (hydrochloride). This form keeps the powder stable and easy to work with, allowing it to be pressed into a compact tablet. In your stomach, the arginine is released from this salt again. The 1000 mg indicated on the tablet refers to the arginine itself, not the entire salt. NOW Foods calls this a double strength tablet, simply because it contains twice as much as a standard 500 mg tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical consequence is that you need fewer tablets to get the same amount of arginine. This reduces intake and makes it easier to integrate into a routine where you decide for yourself what you combine or not. The difference with arginine present in a pre-workout or a ready-made amino acid blend is that here you only get arginine, in a fixed amount, without flavors, sweeteners or other additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA short and plant-based composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula revolves entirely around L-arginine. There is no broad mix of amino acids, no herbs or vitamins. Besides the amino acid, the tablet only contains the necessary functional excipients to make it a solid and easy-to-swallow tablet: microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, a vegetable coating, stearic acid, and a few anti-caking agents. All excipients are of plant or mineral origin, which makes the tablets vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the label, the tablets are not made with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, or sesame. However, they are produced in a facility where these allergens are present elsewhere, which NOW Foods clearly states on the packaging. The brand is known for this transparency: clear labels and production in a clean and controlled facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this arginine is suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis L-Arginine is intended for those who wish to supplement this particular amino acid in a targeted way while maintaining control over the composition. You get arginine and nothing else, in a fixed amount per tablet. This makes planning simple with your diet and any other supplements you may be taking. In summary: a streamlined and concentrated arginine formula, from a brand known for its clear labels and controlled production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49392689086692,"sku":"8721055251347","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/L-ArginineDubbeleSterkteNOW.jpg?v=1783952000","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/now-l-arginine-1000-mg-120-comprimes-now-foods","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
