TOPICAL AND ORAL DELIVERY OF ARGININE TO CAUSE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS

摘要

It is generally accepted that cold tissue of the hands, fingers, feet and toes as well as other cold tissue is caused by insufficient blood flow. It is suggested that the use of increased blood flow through relaxation of blood vessels, particularly small and very small vessels, may be of use in warming cold tissue. The patent describes the use of orally administered L-arginine in conjunction with a topical preparation for producing enhanced blood flow, thus causing beneficial effects such as warming cold tissue of the hands and feet, promoting hair growth on scalp tissue lacking sufficient hair, promoting healing of superficial ulcers such as leg ulcers in persons with diabetes and overcoming male erectile failure.
