DNP to Source L-Arginine L-Aspartate, Pyroglutamate

An increasing demand for amino acids has led DNP to extend its amino acids inventory and strengthen its business relationships with Chinese manufacturers. L-Arginine Aspartate and L-Arginine Pyroglutamate, two hormone-enhancing amino acid ingredients will now be consistently sourced with larger quantities beginning in March. The company anticipates more than 200 metric tons of both ingredients to be imported on a yearly basis.

“Through an exclusive source, DNP can provide these high quality amino acids in large volumes,” said David Ji, president of DNP. “We believe our customers in several industries can benefit their formulas with use of these water soluble ingredients.”

L-Arginine Aspartate is a salt composed of L-Arginine combined with Aspartic Acid. This combination helps cut lactic acid buildup and regulate nitric oxide levels in the body to increase endurance. L-Arginine Pyroglutamate has shown to be effective against high cholesterol, improving circulation and serving as a strong antioxidant. Both of these L-Arginine-based ingredients are formulated in bodybuilding products and in different types of foods.
