Yes and no: Arginine is one of the 20 basic amino acids; you can't make it yourself and need to get it from your food, but it's abundant in any protein food. If somebody's trying to sell it to you as an essential supplement, treat that person like anybody else who's tried to mislead you. Thanks for asking.
