arginine
Essential body builder
Arginine is an amino acid found in most proteins.
The body produces it but also obtains it from foods like meat, nuts, and legumes.
It plays roles in wound healing, immune function, and hormone release.
Athletes sometimes take arginine supplements believing it enhances blood flow and performance, though evidence for this is mixed.
