Arginine is an amino acid, L form being one of the most common.  In fitness, arginine is taken mainly for its ability to boost nitric oxide (NO) production.  This is what gives you the feeling of an enhanced pump, the engorged muscle tissue and veiny look that most hard training guys work for.  This effect is due to the increased blood flow that NO provides.  The greater blood flow not only enhances your muscle pump, but it also delivers more oxygen, nutrients and anabolic hormones to your muscles.  In addition, arginine boosts growth hormone (GH).  GH is important for muscle growth and strength, as well as fat loss.

Function

Arginine plays an important role in cell division, the healing of wounds, removing ammonia from the body, immune function, and the release of hormones.  Arginine is the immediate precursor of nitric oxide (NO); is necessary for the synthesis of creatine, and promotes vasodilation.

• Precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO)
• Reduces healing time of injuries (particularly bone)
• Quickens repair time of damaged tissue
• Helps decrease blood pressure

Most quality proteins have arginine in them, generally 2-3g.  Additionally I supplement my protein shakes with 1-1.5 g of powder form, for a total of 10-12g combine.  Arginine brings a noticeable difference to my workout regimen and felt recovery time.  I cycle arginine at 6 months intervals (taken for 5 months followed by one month off).
