What is L-Arginine?
L-arginine is an organic compound with the molecular formula $C_6H_{14}N_4O_2$. While it is considered a non-essential amino acid for adults, the body produces it at a relatively slow rate. However, it is an essential amino acid for infants and plays a certain role in detoxification. It is found in high concentrations in protamines and is a fundamental building block of various proteins, making its presence in nature quite extensive.
