L-arginine (or arginine) is an amino acid that is known to be the "building block" of proteins. We get arginine from our diet, especially protein foods from animal sources, including beef and other types of red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
In addition to being naturally present in "complete proteins" that provide all the essential amino acids we need, it is also produced in a laboratory environment, so it can be used to make supplements that benefit heart health, athletic performance, mental abilities, and more.
While not exactly an essential amino acid - meaning the body can't make it on its own and therefore must get it from an external source - L-arginine is considered an essential amino acid of some sort because it is so important for many functions, but is usually present in small amounts, especially as someone ages. One of the reasons people take supplements of arginine is because of its ability to improve blood flow and circulation.
