L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c by Thorne
(Formerly Perfusia-SR)
L-Arginine - Sustained Release by Thorne is a supplement designed to support cardiovascular, wound healing, and immune health. It contains L-arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, which is involved in a variety of metabolic pathways. It helps regulate the release of hormones such as insulin, glucagon, neurotransmitters, and growth hormone. It is also a precursor of nitric oxide, which supports the relaxation of blood vessels and is important for maintaining heart, reproductive, and vascular health. Additionally, it may help promote wound healing. L-Arginine - Sustained Release is unique in that it keeps L-arginine levels in the blood constant when taken twice daily, whereas traditional-release L-arginine supplements require multiple servings throughout the day.

Thorne suggest taking 2 L-Arginine - Sustained Release capsules two times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
