L-arginine supplement for blood sugar and metabolic health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking an L-arginine supplement (a type of amino acid) each day can help improve how your body uses insulin and protects the cells that make insulin. It may be an option if you have prediabetes or metabolic syndrome and are looking for a simple daily supplement to support your metabolic health.
