How it works
Targifor C contains arginine aspartate and vitamin C in the composition, which act by reducing fatigue. Know the causes that can be the source of tiredness.
To produce energy, the body's cells perform chemical reactions, releasing ammonia, which is a toxic product for the body, triggering fatigue. Arginine works by transforming toxic ammonia into urea, which is eliminated in the urine, thus fighting muscle and mental fatigue associated with the accumulation of ammonia. In addition, arginine also stimulates the production of nitric oxide, which acts to relax the blood vessel wall, with beneficial effects on the muscular system.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is essential for the proper functioning of cells and also plays an important role in cell metabolism, participating in the processes of oxide-reduction. In addition, it also assists in the effects of arginine aspartate.
