Arginine a therapeutic (or non-essential)
amino acid, arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide. Since nitric oxide helps
relax the walls of the arteries, supplemental arginine may help to promote blood
flow throughout the body which can lead to a wide range of beneficial effects,
including everything from stroke prevention to increased erection.
Results of numerous studies have shown the
following:
- effective in the treatment of patients suffering from a host of heart
conditions
- significantly reduced mean arterial blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance in
congestive heart failure patients associated with coronary artery disease
- vasodilatory effects in patients suffering from various forms of
hypertension
- reversed IL-2-induced hypotensive effects in
patients with
metastatic renal cell carcinoma
- infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension
have also experienced benefits
-
anti-cancer activity of arginine has also been demonstrated in mice
- can help prevent stroke, reduce kidney collage
accumulation associated with aging, and protect against stress
- beneficial
effects against burns in guinea pigs
- intravenous administration
produced significant analgesiac effects in patients suffering from different
types of pain.
- can protect against liver
injury and ulcers in rats
- accelerated the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in
human patients
- positive effects in patients with chronic persistent hepatitis.

Cysteine has exhibited preventive effects
against leukopenic complications associated with radiotherapy in cancer
patients. Hypostatic leg ulceration patients treated with a topical cream
containing l-cysteine, glycine, and dl-threonin three times per week over a
period of twelve weeks experienced a significantly increased rate of healing
relative to patients being treated with cream base alone. Cysteine has also been
effective against allergic-contact dermatitis in guinea pigs.

Tyrosine oral administration has proven effective in the treatment of patients
suffering from dopamine-dependent depression. Stress symptoms associated with
4.5 hours of exposure to cold and hypoxia was significantly reduced. Tyrosine has also been shown capable of increasing blood
pressure in hypotensive rats, and protecting against ventricular arrhythmias in
dogs.
