Now Foods L-Arginine 1000 mg – 120 tablets

Now Foods L-Arginine 1000 mg is a food supplement in tablet form, each tablet containing 1000 mg of L-arginine. One tablet provides twice as much L-arginine as the same brand's regular 500 mg capsule, so you need half as many tablets for the same amount. The container holds 120 tablets – taking two tablets a day, one pack lasts two months. According to NOW Foods, the product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and is non-GMO. It is made in the United States by NOW Foods, a family-owned company producing food supplements since 1968.

L-arginine

L-arginine is an amino acid, one of the twenty amino acids the body uses to build proteins. It is called a conditionally essential amino acid: the body can produce arginine itself, but it is also obtained from food. Dietary sources of arginine include meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds and legumes.

In this product, L-arginine is provided as the hydrochloride: 1250 mg of L-arginine hydrochloride provides 1000 mg of L-arginine. According to NOW Foods, pharmaceutical-grade L-arginine is used.

How to use?

Take one tablet twice a day as needed, between meals or at bedtime. Swallow the tablet with at least 240 ml (8 oz) of water or juice. Do not take more than two tablets, or 2000 mg of L-arginine, per day. If you use other products containing arginine at the same time, such as amino acid blends, take their amounts into account too. At two tablets a day one container lasts 60 days, at one tablet a day 120 days.
