Arginine para Wound Healing and Immune Recovery

B Evidencia Al menos un ensayo aleatorizado lo respalda, con resultados mayoritariamente consistentes.

Arginine is a key immunonutrient alongside glutamine. Supplementation may enhance immune function in surgical patients and those with malnutrition by supporting nitric oxide-dependent pathogen killing by macrophages and tissue repair.
