L ARGININE+LEUCINE belongs to a class of amino acid supplements used to reduce complications associated with pre-eclampsia (complication during pregnancy due to high blood pressure) and boosts the immune system. Also, it is used to relieve the symptoms of erectile dysfunction in men. Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It usually begins during the second trimester (after 20 weeks of pregnancy).
L ARGININE+LEUCINE is a combination of two amino acids, namely: L Arginine and Leucine. L Arginine works by getting converted to nitric oxide in the body which widens blood vessels and increases blood flow. Thereby, it relaxes blood vessels and decreases high blood pressure. Leucine works by increasing lean body mass and muscle growth. Thus, it helps to build muscle mass and improves performance during exercise.
