L-ISOLEUCINE MAY HELP TO:

- ASSIST NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION*
L-Norvaline is an analog of the branched chain amino acid Valine. It has been proposed that L-Norvaline inhibits the arginase enzyme thus increasing arginine concentrations. L-norvaline also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties independently of its effect on inhibition of arginase activity and increased NO production.
