About this Drip
L-Arginine is the biological precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO), a molecule that triggers vasodilation (the widening of blood vessels). This process improves blood flow, oxygen delivery, and nutrient transport throughout the body. It is the ideal choice for:
Athletes: Looking to maximize the "muscle pump," improve endurance, and speed up the removal of ammonia (waste) from muscles.
Circulation Issues: Individuals who suffer from cold hands and feet or poor circulation.
Vitality: Men looking to support healthy blood flow and libido.
Key Benefits
For Sport & Performance
The "Pump": By increasing Nitric Oxide, Arginine relaxes blood vessel walls, allowing for greater blood volume to reach muscle tissue during exercise.
Endurance & Recovery: Improved blood flow means faster delivery of oxygen and faster removal of lactic acid and ammonia, helping to delay muscle fatigue.
Growth Hormone Support: L-Arginine is involved in the signaling pathways that support the natural release of Growth Hormone, which is essential for lean muscle repair.
How it works (The Science)
When taken orally (pills/powders), L-Arginine is largely destroyed by an enzyme called arginase in the gut and liver before it reaches your circulation. IV Administration bypasses the gut. This ensures the Arginine is immediately available to the endothelial cells (lining your blood vessels) to be converted into Nitric Oxide, triggering an immediate and systemic improvement in blood flow.
The Experience: What to expect
At Epicare, we blend medical expertise with a relaxing environment to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as it is effective.
Consultation: Your appointment begins with a brief health check with our clinician to review your medical history and ensure the formulation is perfectly suited to your needs.
Relaxation: You will be seated comfortably in our clinic. Our experienced clinician will cleanse the area and gently insert a sterile micro-needle.
The Infusion: Depending on your specific formulation, the drip will be administered over 30 to 60 minutes (longer for specialist drips). During this time, you are free to read, work on your phone, or simply close your eyes and relax.
Aftercare: Once finished, the cannula is removed, and a sterile dressing is applied. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. We advise staying well-hydrated for the rest of the day to help your body circulate the nutrients.
Pre-Treatment Blood Tests: We recommend that patients complete the following blood tests before treatment: Full Blood Count, ESR, Liver Function, Kidney Function, and G6PD enzyme. Our Epicare Basic Screen offers the best-value way to complete most of these. The ESR and G6PD enzyme tests can be added separately if required.
