The amino acid arginine is used to make nitric oxide (NO) in the body. Nitric oxide is an important gas- signaling molecule that promotes the relaxation of smooth muscle, and therefore vasodilation. Bodybuilders like to increase their vasodilation to get that "pumped" look, fireflies use it to light up, and without it, mice age and die prematurely.
One way to increase your nitric oxide? Breath in through your nose, where your body's highest concentration of nitric oxide can be found. Also good to know: In a clinical study Aminogen was shown to increase branched-chain amino acids, including arginine, by 250 percent.
