Arginine HCL by HSNraw is a food supplement made of 100% L-arginine hydrochloride, the most used formula in supplementation due to its optimal absorption and availability.
Arginine plays a fundamental role in many physiological processes such as the synthesis of protein, creatine, nitric oxide and other nitrogenated compounds. Moreover, it is really important for wound healing, the collagen synthesis and the proper functioning of the immune system.
Another important property of arginine is its role in the ammonia detoxification, which is produced by the catabolism of other amino acids through the urea cycle. It is also necessary for the production of glucagon, insulin and the growth hormone, which are all involved in the growth of muscle tissue.
In the sport nutrition sector, arginine is known for its role as a precursor form of nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide improves the blood flow by dilating the blood vessels.
This vasodilation will allow a higher supply of nutrients and oxygen to the muscles. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the performance and muscle recovery.
The most common way of increasing the amount of this component in the organism is directly through physical exercise. This is due to the muscle tissue need for oxygenation, which means that the blood must transport both oxygen and nutrients to the muscle cells. Each time the heart pumps blood with more pressure, the layer of the arteries releases nitric oxide into the bloodstream, which relaxes and widens the walls of the blood vessels, increasing the blood flow.
As we age, our ability to increase the blood flow will be less efficient. There are several factors that will deteriorate our arteries, such as the effect of the free radicals, inactivity, a bad diet... The intake of this amino acid can increase the synthesis of NO.
Nitric Oxide plays a fundamental role in the following processes:
Increasing the production of nitric oxide is a very interesting strategy within the sport field in order to improve the performance. Thanks to arginine, and subsequently, to the higher nutrient transport in the bloodstream, the athlete or those who practise sport will get two different benefits:
The results that we can expect from arginine supplementation are: shortening the recovery processes, decreasing the tiredness and buffering the DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).

Bulk powder aminos are hard to find. Very glad HSN is there to cover that need with a quality product at an outstanding price. Plastic jar would be better, but I understand that would raise costs. You can always use your own. Been using Arginine HCL in powder form since 1987. Powder is the best way to take aminos, as your stomach doesn't have to break down the gelatin in capsules or cellulose in tablets. The trick for arginine and other unpalatable aminos is to mix with fresh filtered juice. I use grapefruit, which turns alkaline in the stomach. Orange juice is too acidic.
