L-arginine is a naturally occurring amino acid that may help to increase blood flow (in some populations) and anabolic growth-hormone secretion. This helps increase lean muscle mass/strength/power, promotes faster recovery from exercise, and improves the work capacity of active muscles.
L-arginine also improves the process of clearing waste products from your muscles. This may result in a reduced sense of fatigue.
L-arginine should be consumed as part of your post-exercise recovery, which should begin within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. Some people like to take arginine in the pre-exercise period (30-60 min before exercise).
The amount of L-arginine needed to increase anabolic growth-hormone secretion and improve muscle recovery is at least 6 grams as part of your post-workout recovery. The typical American diet only provides about 5.5 grams of L-arginine during an entire day.
Muscle Growth
L-arginine contributes to muscle growth because it is needed for the synthesis of most proteins. While the muscle mass increases, L-arginine also signals muscle cells, encourages the release of growth hormone and promotes fat metabolism. The overall result is the well-toned, lean muscle mass sought by bodybuilders. By reducing the fat stores underneath the skin and promoting muscle growth, L-arginine can increase your fitness and improve strength, which are needed for bodybuilding.
