L-Arginine is a potent nitric oxide enhancer and causes vasodilation of both smooth and skeletal muscles. It is often used in cases of colic to help reduce spasms and ischemia of the vascular areas of the intestines. It also works well to dilate the vessels of the skeletal muscles, thus providing more blood flow. L-Arginine is also extremely useful when treating “bleeders” because it reduces resistance to the blood flow through the lungs.
