Why Do Dieters Use It?*

Some dieters say that arginine helps reduce body fat.

What Do the Advocates Say?*

When used while weight training, a combination of arginine and ornithine have been found to decrease body fat, resulting in higher strength and leaner muscle. Be aware, when supplementing with individual amino acids, it’s possible to upset the body’s balance of amino acids by taking just one.

*Dieters and weight-management advocates may claim benefits for this supplement based on their personal or professional experience. These are individual opinions and testimonials that may or may not be supported by controlled clinical studies or published scientific articles.
