“How much black garlic contains arginine?”

“What are the specific effects of arginine?”

I think many people have such a question. Black garlic is said to contain about 3 times more “arginine” than normal white garlic.
This time, I will introduce you to arginine.

□ What is arginine?

There are two types of amino acids, “essential amino acids” and “non-essential amino acids”. Arginine is one of the “non-essential amino acids”.

Insufficient amino acids can be harmful to your health.
Essential amino acids cannot be produced in the body, but only a small amount of non-essential amino acids are produced in the body and must be taken from the diet.
“Arginine” plays various important roles in the body.

□ Effect of arginine

・ Maintain normal blood vessel function

“Arginine” widens blood vessels and removes unnecessary ammonia to improve blood flow.
Dilation of blood vessels leads to prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as coldness, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and arteriosclerosis.
In addition, by reducing the concentration of ammonia, one of the causes of fatigue, we support recovery from fatigue.

・ Promoting growth hormone

“Arginine” works to promote growth hormone. Growth hormone is a hormone that is secreted from GH-secreting cells in the anterior pituitary gland in response to a command issued by the brain, and promotes metabolism in various places such as muscle, liver, and fat.
Growth hormone can increase your height and strengthen your muscles, bones, and skin to prevent injury.
Growth hormone also helps to reduce appetite and is effective for dieting.

・ Beauty support

The cause of rough skin is likely to be “dry skin” or “shortage of amino acids in the stratum corneum of skin”.
“Arginine” is said to moisturize the skin’s stratum corneum and penetrate into the fifth stratum corneum.
The improvement of the keratin condition stabilizes the skin turnover cycle and can lead to beautiful skin.

・ Improve immunity

“Arginine” activates cells called “macrophages” in the body.
Macrophages have the function of eating bacteria, viruses, and foreign bodies that have invaded the body and enhancing the body’s immunity.

□ Finally

In this article, we have introduced in detail the specific effects of “Arginine”.
Amino acids can hardly be produced in the body and must be taken from the diet.
Why don’t you try incorporating garlic and black garlic in your diet?
