What foods have high sources of L-arginine?
I need foods with amino acids (specifically L-arginine). Please list the foods with it. Thanks!!

The typical dietary intake of L-arginine is 3.5 to 5 grams daily. Most dietary L-arginine comes from plant and animal proteins. Small amounts of free L-arginine are found in vegetable juices and fermented foods, such as miso and yogurt. Soy protein and other plant proteins are richer in L-arginine than are animal proteins, which are richer in lysine. It is thought that the possible hypocholesterolemic effect of soy protein is due, at least in part, to the higher L-arginine content in this protein.

Foods with high content of Amino Acids? Spec. L-Arginine ?
Hi! I want to maxamize my height growth (I am still a teen), and I heard food content with high amino acids a release more growth hormone. However, I was wondering which certain foods have this high content of amino acids?, specifically L-Arginine which is known to release human growth hormone.
Thanks anyone for a response!

Well….. I don’t know if you’re going to get more growth hormone for real… But eggs are always be the best for everything. They are the perfect protein – the amino acids in eggs are the protein against which all other foods are measured for protein content.
Good fats play a big part in hormone production – and the yokes of eggs have extremely fragile and valuable fats which aid in growth and repair of tissue.
So have lots of eggs – “sunny side up” if possible so that the yokes aren’t cooked – then you get the fats as nature intended.
If you want to read about all this – Atkins wrote a kick a$$ book called “Vita-Nutrient Solution” about all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fats and his use of these in his practice – he was a heart doctor.
You can get the book for nothing (except postage) if buy it used off of Amazon. I read the covers off the first copy I had and I’m on my second copy.

Jane asks…
What cat foods can I buy that contain arginine?
So, I am taking this nutrition class, and my teacher mentioned that cats require l-arginine in their diets. So here I am aimlessly searching different cat products, and almost none of them contain arginine? Does anyone know of a cat food that contains this (my cat is 5 years old)? He currently like HIlls Science Diet Sensitive Stomach, but it is not listed in the ingredients!
What do I do? I don’t want him to get hurt from all that NH3 buildup?

L-arginine is an amino acid and is present in all animal protein sources. Poultry is a particularly good source.
He would only get an abnormal increase in ammonia levels if his kidneys weren’t functioning well.
All animal proteins have plenty of arginine.
