Arginine

A semi-essential protein amino acid: it is the sole precursor of nitric oxide, the molecule that widens blood vessels, and takes part in the urea cycle. It was isolated in 1886 by German chemist Ernst Schulze and his assistant Ernst Steiger, from lupin seedlings. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Its name comes from the Greek árgyros, silver: crystals of its nitrate have a characteristic silvery-white appearance.
