Tenosynovitis In Both Hands. Due To Nitric Oxide OR L-Arginine?
Question: i have been diagnosed with tenosynovitis in both hands : could it be due to high intake of Nitric Oxide OR L-Arginine ? age = 54; Height = 174 cms; Weight = 75 kgs; no medical history; work-out 6 days / week; marathon runner.
Hello.
Thanks for your query.
Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of tendons of the hands.It is not related to taking of nitric oxide or L-arginine. L-arginine is basically a precursor that causes release of nitric oxide in the body which is a vasodilator and increases the peripheral blood supply. It will only help the infection by increasing the blood flow to that area.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available if you have any further queries.
