Quick answer: L-arginine is the raw material blood vessel linings use to make nitric oxide, which helps vessels relax. Studies at several grams a day found small blood pressure drops. It can interact with blood pressure medicine, nitrates and ED pills.
How it works
Nitric oxide signals the muscle in vessel walls to relax, widening the vessel.
What studies used
Grams a day. A share of a 200 mg blend is a tiny fraction of that.
Cautions
Do not combine with nitrates; ask your doctor if you take ED pills or blood pressure medicine. Not advised after a recent heart attack. MedlinePlus.
