Some Of The L Arginine Side Effects

 

by Marion Brennan



Especially when the supplement is taken for a long time and in large doses, there are some l arginine side effects to be wary of. This is true despite the fact that it's an amino acid that's also found naturally in the human body. Before you take it in supplement form, read on to know some untoward reactions you may experience.

Orally taken, it can cause the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid. This is bad news for individuals with ulcers or acid reflux as they symptoms they experience may worsen. However, they may still get their regular dose of this protein building block through the diet. Some people report of having stomach upset instead.

It's likely for you to experience diarrhea after taking it. There are individuals who reported bloating of the abdominal area. This can be due to the production of gas in the area excessively, leading to frequent passing of gas or what's medically known as flatulence. The normal functioning of your kidneys and liver may also be affected.

One of the things this amino acid causes is the relaxation of the blood vessels' walls, resulting in their widening. Also known as vasodilatation, this can lead to low blood pressure or hypotension. Having low blood pressure can be dangerous in many cases. It can cause the affected individual to experience confusion, weakness, blurring of vision and light-headedness.

Someone who naturally has low blood pressure may want to stay away from taking the supplement. People afflicted with hemophilia are not supposed to take it as well because it can cause excessive bleeding. The same can be said for people who are taking medications to help in thinning the blood.

Other l arginine side effects are associated with allergic reactions to it. They include development of rashes, itchiness of the skin and breathing problem. Someone with asthma or other airway problem may experience worsening of symptoms. Other severe allergic reactions include flushing, vomiting, nausea and fainting.
