What is L-Arginine? And Is It the Secret to Better Orgasms?
If you’ve spent any time wandering the supplement aisle or the spicier corners of TikTok wellness, you’ve probably heard whispers about a little amino acid called L-arginine.
Some people take it for better results at the gym. Others swear it boosts energy. And some? Well… they claim it leads to mind-blowing orgasms. But is this true? Allow us to explain…
What does L-arginine actually do?
Let’s break it down.
L-arginine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks your body uses to create proteins. But unlike your typical amino acid, this one has a special party trick: it helps your body produce nitric oxide, one of our body’s signalling agents, which works at relaxing and widening blood vessels.
This means that there’s better blood flow throughout the body. And when there’s better blood flow, there’s better everything. More energy, better workout performance, improved cardiovascular function… and yes, more arousal and stronger orgasms.
What are the benefits of L-arginine?
L-arginine helps your body send more blood exactly where you want it during your intimate moments. It’s like turning up the volume on your body’s natural responses and making your sex sessions a lot more enjoyable.
Here’s what it does:
Increases blood flow to the clitoris and vulva
Supports arousal and engorgement
Makes it easier to orgasm
Enhances sensitivity and sexual satisfaction
Support hormonal balance and even menstrual health
So is it the secret orgasm booster you’ve been searching for?
Research shows L-arginine can support sexual function in women in multiple ways. Let’s have a look at the four core ways it can help you out in the bedroom.
1. Boosts libido and sensitivity
Improved circulation can heighten touch, increase responsiveness, and make arousal easier. Many women report that L-arginine helps them feel turned on faster and stay turned on longer.
2. Better lubrication
L-arginine supports your natural lubrication process, which can make sex more comfortable and pleasurable.
3. Easier and more consistent orgasms
More blood flow equals more sensitivity, which in turn equals more intensity. Some women describe orgasms as “easier to reach” after taking L-arginine regularly. The more sensations you feel, the easier it is for your vagina to contract and relax during climax, the two ingredients you need to reach the big O.
4. Better mood
L-arginine’s benefits aren’t just physical; it can also help in improving mood and reducing anxiety. This boost to your mental health may also benefit you in the bedroom.
So, while L-arginine isn’t a magical love potion, it definitely supports the body’s natural ability to experience pleasure. Combined with communication and great foreplay, and comfort, this little amino acid will take your sex life from a walk in the park to a roller coaster ride of pleasure.
How Do You Increase Your L-Arginine?
The good news is that you don’t need to hunt for exotic ingredients to get your L-Arginine fix.
It's actually found in plenty of foods you already have in your fridge or cupboard.
Foods like pumpkin seeds, lentils, tofu, salmon, mackerel, chicken and turkey breast can all offer up a healthy amount of L-arginine.
Everyone produces L’arginine, but the amount you’re producing depends on factors such as your age, your inflammation levels, the condition of your heart, gender and obviously your diet.
So, if you think you might be low on L’arginine, getting a little bit of help can go a long way.
How to Use L-Arginine for Best Results
We’ve recently created our own Arousal Cream, which is specially made for women who want to liven up their sex life. Our hormone cream is pharmacist-formulated and doctor-developed, made with a combo of L-arginine, Sildenafill, oxytocin and testosterone, and that works together to enhance blood flow to intimate areas. It helps treat low libido, sexual dysfunction and boost sexual responsiveness.
The cream works by applying a thin layer to your vulva and clitoris at least 30-60 minutes before any sexual activity, to intensify your pleasure.
And while L-arginine on its own might not be your holy grail, it is a well-researched way to support circulation, arousal, and orgasm intensity. And when combined with the other ingredients in our cream it's sure to help you get the pleasure you deserve.
So, if you’re curious and want to get frisky without worrying about your body’s feel-good responses putting the brakes on your pleasure, the Arousal Cream is ready and waiting.
At Hormones and You, we believe in prioritising pleasure. Which is why our Arousal Cream is designed to give your sex life the pick-me-up it’s been begging for. Start by completing our quick online consultation questionnaire to get your personalised treatment delivered straight to your door.
