Arginine Reduces Amyloid Protein Buildup in Animal Models of Alzheimer's Disease

June 9, 2026

A recent study conducted at Kindai University in Osaka Japan shows promise that arginine, a common, low-cost amino acid may suppress amyloid plaque buildup in vitro (in laboratory), and that the oral administration of arginine not only reduces amyloid plaque, but also exerts therapeutic benefits in fruit flies and mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
