L-Arginine 3 gm + Proanthocyanidine 75mg sachet (Orange Flavour/Sugar free)

Introduction:

L-arginine is most commonly used for recovery after surgery, a pregnancy complication marked by high blood pressure and protein in the urine (pre-eclampsia), and heart and blood vessel conditions, such as chest pain (angina) and high blood pressure. It is also used for many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support many of these uses.

How does it work?

L-arginine is converted in the body into a chemical called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow. L-arginine also stimulates the release of growth hormones and other substances in the body.

Uses:

• Chest pain (angina)
• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• High blood pressure
• A serious intestinal disease in premature infants
• A pregnancy complication marked by high blood pressure and protein in the urine

Side Effects:

L-arginine has few reported adverse reactions. Nausea and diarrhea have been reported infrequently. A bitter taste may occur with higher doses. Due to its ability to dilate blood vessels, low blood pressure may occur. Intravenous preparations containing L-arginine hydrochloride have a high chloride content that may increase the risk for metabolic acidosis in patients with electrolyte imbalances. Low potassium and high serum urea nitrogen levels may occur in patients with kidney and/or liver impairment.
