Agmatine is an endogenous neurotransmitter, it binds to α2-adrenergic receptor and it induces the release of some peptide hormones. Agmatine has potential to treat chronic pain which may potentiate the effects of analgesics used during recovery from injury. There is also some evidence suggesting that agmatine possesses nootropic effects. In vitro studies are also showing insulin-like effect.
