                                            ome claims for the health benefits of
                                            the amino acid arginine sound as if
                                            they belong in late-night infomercials
                                     (more on that later), but all of them stress
                                     one physiological fact that is beyond dispute:
                                     proper blood flow is critical to the human
                                     body. Sadly, poor circulation in the feet of
                                     diabetics leads to 87,000 amputations each
                                     year. Little has been available in the way of
                                     preventive care beyond special socks and
                                     shoes.

                                     Now a study reported in Diabetes Care has
                                     found that a topical preparation of arginine
                                     improves blood flow in the feet and toes of
                                     diabetics, which could translate into fewer
                                     amputations. Yet that doesn’t necessarily
                                     mean arginine can deliver on its propo-
                                     nents’ more provocative claims, which
                                     include reversing baldness, lifting sagging
                                     breasts and, of course, enhancing the sex
                                     lives of men and women. •
