Key Information on L-Arginine Base

• There are two types of L-arginine: L-arginine HCl and L-arginine Base. L-arginine HCl is less odorous, less flavorful, and more water-soluble than L-arginine Base, but it's only 75-83% pure L-arginine. L-arginine Base, on the other hand, dissolves more slowly in water but is 98.5-100% pure L-arginine.
• The pH value measures a substance's acidity. The scale ranges from 1 to 14, with 1 being the strongest acid, 7 being neutral (like water), and anything above 7 being basic. These substances are called bases or alkalis. When metabolized, plant-based foods are considered basic, while animal products are acid-forming. Basic foods are generally considered healthier.
• Although L-arginine is an amino acid, it is chemically a base—the opposite of an acid. According to international standards, L-arginine Base must have a pH value between 10.5 and 12, which is well-tolerated by the body. European guidelines require L-arginine HCl to have a pH of 6 to 6.5, which is acidic and therefore not ideal for the body.
• In addition to the difference between L-arginine Base and L-arginine HCl, there are two different manufacturing methods: fermentation and extraction.
• Our product is made through fermentation, a chemical conversion of substances by bacteria and enzymes. This process is used exclusively for the production of L-arginine Base and uses only carbohydrate-containing, purely plant-based ingredients, primarily grains like wheat.
• Extraction, by definition, is the process of "pulling" a substance from a mixture. This method is used for both L-arginine Base and L-arginine HCl production. Extraction often uses human and animal hair as well as duck feathers, which may be contaminated with residues (heavy metals, pollutants, medications, etc.).

Conclusion

L-arginine Base has a higher purity level than L-arginine HCl. To achieve a similar effect to L-arginine Base, significantly higher quantities of L-arginine HCl must be used. Furthermore, L-arginine Base is basic, while arginine hydrochloride is acidic. Finally, the fermentation process used for L-arginine Base is purely plant-based. Thus, L-arginine Base has a quality far superior to that of L-arginine HCl.

Shelf Life

This product contains a 25% overage in capsules or tablets to ensure a 2-year shelf life. This means that even 2 years after manufacturing, the quantity declared on the label is still fully present in the capsule.

However, despite this overage, proper storage is essential. Vitamins and bioactive substances should always be stored in a cool, dry place to ensure the ingredients remain effective for a long time.
