L-ARGININE MAY LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE AND REDUCE INFLAMMATION.

Stress and high cholesterol promote inflammation. Researchers from Penn State University found that oral L-Arginine supplements lowered blood pressure and homocysteine in middle-aged men with high cholesterol who were subjected to cold stress. L-Arginine supplements may be useful for lowering blood pressure and inflammation in the cells lining the bloodstream. (J Nutr, 135: 212-217, 2005)
