What is the recommended dosage for Arginine?

General: 2-3 g/day; Immune Support: 6-9 g/day

What are the side effects of Arginine?

Potential side effects include: Gastrointestinal discomfort (bloating, diarrhea, cramps), Gout exacerbation (increased uric acid production), Blood pressure changes, Worsening of herpes outbreaks (arginine supports viral replication).

What is arginine and how does it relate to immune function?

L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to nitric oxide, which plays a role in immune cell signaling. Research suggests arginine may support T-cell function and wound healing, particularly in individuals with depleted levels.

What dosage of arginine has been studied for immune support?

Clinical studies have used L-arginine doses ranging from 6 to 30 g per day, depending on the condition studied. For immune-related outcomes, doses of 6–12 g per day are more commonly reported in surgical and critically ill populations.

What are the potential side effects of arginine supplementation?

Common side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, bloating, and diarrhea at higher doses. Arginine may interact with blood pressure medications and nitrates. Individuals with herpes simplex should consult a doctor, as arginine may promote viral replication.

About

Arginine is the primary precursor of nitric oxide (NO), which is essential for macrophage cytotoxicity against pathogens. It supports T-cell proliferation, lymphocyte function, and wound healing through polyamine and proline synthesis. Clinical evidence is strongest in post-surgical and critically ill populations.

How It Works

Primary precursor of nitric oxide (NO) via nitric oxide synthase, essential for macrophage cytotoxicity against pathogens; supports T-cell proliferation and wound healing through polyamine and proline synthesis.
