Recently, the pharmaceutical and health functional food industry is introducing products containing arginine as the main ingredient.
Arginine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up a protein and is a conditional essential amino acid that exists in the form of L-arginine in the body. It is involved in metabolism and protein synthesis and can help improve exercise ability, immune function, fatigue recovery, and vitality.
Arginine, which was in high demand for improving exercise ability in the past, has recently attracted attention as an energy charging product in daily life. Marketing with vitality as the main motif is also being conducted in various ways.
Dong-A Pharmaceutical announced on the 13th that it will sell 'circular arginine 6000' at CU convenience stores.

In particular, the new product will be introduced as a package in collaboration with Kim Ye-ji, a member of the national shooting team.

CJ WellCare also recently released a package renewal product of 'Han Root Black 99 Black Ginseng Arginine'. It is a liquid ampoule containing 6000mg of arginine and taurine, ornithine, and black ginseng concentrate (boiled and dried nine times) in a bottle that increases the absorption rate of arginine.
