Arginine is considered nutritionally as a "conditionally essential" amino acid. This means that under normal conditions the body meets its needs through its own biosynthesis, but under certain circumstances, such as trauma or severe illness, the body is unable to produce sufficient amounts of arginine and therefore supplementary intake from food becomes necessary.

In addition to its role in protein synthesis, arginine participates in the urea cycle, the synthesis of NO (nitric oxide), and serves as a metabolic substrate for creatine synthesis. The involvement of arginine in the production of nitric oxide by the vascular endothelium is the main reason for the majority of clinical studies on arginine. Furthermore, the role of vascular blood flow in exercise physiology makes arginine a popular dietary supplement for athletes.
