Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a naturally occurring chemical found in blood plasma. It is a metabolic by-product of continual protein modification processes in the cytoplasm of all human cells. It is closely related to L-arginine a conditionally-essential amino acid. ADMA interferes with L-arginine in the production of nitric oxide a key chemical involved in normal endothelial function and by extension cardiovascular health.
