ARGININE
Also known as: Arginine
CAS Number: 74-79-3
Key Benefits
Amino acid — promotes wound healing, collagen synthesis support
How It Works
Semi-essential cationic amino acid. Precursor to nitric oxide via eNOS enzyme, leading to vasodilation and improved microcirculation. Also a precursor to proline, a key collagen building block.
Why BP Derma Uses It
Arginine performs dual duty in our amino acid formulas — adjusting pH gently while simultaneously delivering skin conditioning benefits as an NMF-related amino acid.
