L-Arginine for
Nerve Health

How this amino acid boosts nitric oxide production to improve circulation and support nerve regeneration.

The Nitric Oxide Connection

If you have peripheral neuropathy, your damaged nerves aren't getting enough blood flow. That means they're starved of oxygen and nutrients they need to heal.

L-Arginine changes that. It's an amino acid that your body converts into nitric oxide (NO) - a molecule that dilates blood vessels and improves circulation.

What Is L-Arginine?

L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. Your body makes some, but not always enough - especially as you age or if you have certain health conditions.

It's the primary building block for nitric oxide production. Without adequate L-Arginine, your body can't make enough NO to keep blood vessels dilated and circulation optimal.

Nobel Prize-Winning Science

Dr. Louis Ignarro won the Nobel Prize in 1998 for discovering nitric oxide's role in cardiovascular health. His research showed that NO is essential for healthy circulation and nerve function.

How L-Arginine Helps Neuropathy

1. Improves Blood Flow to Nerves

L-Arginine converts to nitric oxide, which relaxes and dilates blood vessels. This increases blood flow to peripheral nerves, delivering more oxygen and nutrients needed for repair.

2. Reduces Inflammation

Nitric oxide has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce nerve inflammation - a major contributor to neuropathy pain.

3. Supports Nerve Regeneration

Better circulation means damaged nerves get the resources they need to regenerate. Studies show improved nerve conduction velocity in patients taking L-Arginine.

4. Lowers Blood Pressure

Many neuropathy patients have high blood pressure, which further damages nerves. L-Arginine helps lower blood pressure naturally.

Optimal Dosage for Neuropathy

Research suggests 5,000 mg of L-Arginine daily is optimal for improving circulation and supporting nerve health.

NEUROGENX Formula

Our NEUROGENX Nerve Health Solution contains 5,000 mg of L-Arginine plus L-Citrulline (which converts to L-Arginine for sustained effects). This combination provides both immediate and long-lasting benefits.

Best Results: Combine with Neurogenx Therapy

While L-Arginine improves circulation, Neurogenx therapy directly stimulates nerve regeneration. Together, they create a powerful one-two punch:

  • Neurogenx regenerates damaged nerve fibers
  • L-Arginine ensures those nerves get adequate blood flow
  • Result: Faster healing and better outcomes
