L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c by Thorne – Healthy Circulation Amino Acid Support
L-Arginine sustained-release capsules by Thorne provide a single active amino acid for healthy circulation support. The formula combines arginine with Time-Sorb®, a time-release matrix that distinguishes it from an immediate-release arginine supplement.
Key L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c Benefits
- Supports nitric oxide production, helping the body maintain normal relaxation of blood vessels and healthy circulation.
- Provides an amino acid used in protein synthesis, a fundamental process for maintaining muscles and other body tissues.
- Supports cardiovascular health through arginine’s role in the signaling pathway that helps regulate normal blood flow.
How L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c Works
The lining of your blood vessels uses arginine to make nitric oxide, a messenger that tells surrounding muscle to relax. This normal relaxation helps vessels adjust their diameter and supports blood flow. Arginine also supplies a building block for proteins throughout the body. Thorne’s sustained-release formula pairs this amino acid with a matrix designed to release it over time.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- L-Arginine: Supplies the raw material for nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that helps blood vessels relax as part of normal circulation. This amino acid also participates in protein building, connecting its everyday nutritional role to the maintenance of muscles and other tissues.
L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking amino acid support for normal circulation and cardiovascular wellness.
- Individuals looking for a single-active-ingredient arginine formula with sustained release.
- People whose healthcare practitioner has reviewed whether arginine fits their health history and medications.

Frequently Asked Questions About L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c
What are the benefits of L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c?
This sustained-release arginine supplement supports normal circulation by supplying an amino acid the body uses to produce nitric oxide. Arginine also serves as a building block for proteins that maintain body tissues.
Who should take L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c?
It is intended for adults considering arginine for cardiovascular and circulation support, particularly those seeking a single-active-ingredient, sustained-release capsule. A healthcare practitioner should review your medications and the arginine-specific cautions before use.
Are there any side effects of taking L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c?
L-arginine can cause nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, headache, gout, or allergic reactions, and it can worsen asthma. It is not recommended after a recent heart attack. Blood pressure medicines, nitrates, isoproterenol, or sildenafil can increase the risk of low blood pressure; blood thinners can increase bleeding risk; diabetes medicines can require adjustment. Do not combine it with potassium-sparing diuretics such as amiloride, spironolactone, or triamterene because of high-potassium risk. This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. Individuals with a known herpes infection should not take L-arginine without also taking lysine, as L-arginine alone has been noted to cause herpes eruptions in susceptible individuals. L-arginine supplementation is contraindicated in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. Use only if bottle is sealed.
How does L-Arginine - Sustained Release 120c support overall health?
Arginine contributes to two everyday processes: making proteins and producing nitric oxide. Protein building supports tissue maintenance, while nitric oxide helps regulate normal blood vessel relaxation. The Time-Sorb matrix provides a sustained-release delivery format; it does not replace a balanced diet or medical care.
