I think Alpha Argnine Ketoglutarate is the best form of arginine. I buy mine at walmart for 10$. Each capsule is one gram and i take up to 3 per day. Also take your arginine with taurine they seem to work real well together. I have been taking one gram of taurine with 2 grams of AAKG and my resting pulse rate dropped from an alarming average of 96 to 66.
I'm not aware if arginine has to cross the BBB to have vaso-dilating effects, but I'm assuming it would have to for HGH release (I doubt it to raise HGH to any real beneficial level though). L-Arginine should NOT be taken with another protein souce as multiple aminos competing to cross the BBB wouldn't be good for any amino who's action is needed by cross the BBB. I've read you can take it with a carbohydrate source to help carry through your body faster. L-Arginine + carbs on empty stomach seems ideal.
hey guys, lotsa good info on here..
i just bought some and its in 100mg capsules and it says to take one a day. and not to have more than stated dose. i wanted to know if it would be safe to have more to make up the 6g dose?
i also take other amino acids n someone mentioned not to take then together. does that mean not to take them together t same time or not to take em together period?

RDA is the amount you are referring to, and this is determined as the min. amount to prevent disease. It also depends upon your age and health. Heart disease in particular.
i have no history of heart probs and i am nearly 30 years of age. the container states take one a day with a meal and do not exceed the stated dose. thats why i asked if it was saf to take between 3-6g.
Dr. Steven Lamm in "The Hardness Factor" recommends 3g per day, taken with 80mg of Pycnogenol and recommends taking it on an empty stomach. The combination has been shown to work well together, and he claims Pycnogenol has a lot of other benefits.
right.. So I have 500mg tablets. Should I take 6 tablets to cover the 3g?
Is it best to take it all at once or spread out during the day?
Is it safe to take other amino acids but at different times of the day?

Is this the devices forum? I think we need a special forum just for supplements, and I thought there was one, but then I looked and didn't see one. Did I miss something? Any thoughts?
I always took L-Arginine as soon as I woke up in the morning, on an empty stomach. I started with just 1,000mg a day. I noticed no effects from the stuff until I got up around 8,000mg. Once there, I felt like my boners were more frequent and I noticed that I was spewing a little more manjuice. Much higher than 10,000mg may cause you to sh*t in your bloomers though...or so I've read.
I took 5 capsules which were 1,000mg a piece. Directly afterwards, I downed a protein/weight gainer shake that had 3200mg or so of L-Arginine in it. So, I put about 8,000mg (a little more than that actually) in my system in about 5 minutes.
Interesting. How long did you take to go from 1000 to 8000, and how long did you continue it?
Yes, 6 tables... I was taking mine at different times, but in the book Lamm says once daily.
A supplements forum would be a good idea.calixto said:
Minimal effects. I took it for no other reason than to try it. Like I said above, it probably had something to do with an increase in cum load. Side effects? It may have made me a little antsy and twitchy...But I can't be 100% on that.
thanks for advise. Will I have to take this for rest of my life?s
Do u take/is it safe to take other amino acids at same time?

I think I was on 8000mg by a month in. But only kept it at that dosage for about 2 weeks. It's expensive sh*t and taking that many capsules was going to be costly. I still get 3500mg a day in my weight-gainer shakes...
Have to? It depends on what kind of reactions you get from it. You will probably have to cycle it - like, take it for 2 months, take a week or so off of it, then go back to taking it again.
Your body produces most of these amino acids on its own, so no it shouldn't mix negatively with other amino acids.
The medical researcher who wrote the article below (under penis enlargement) said he knew guys who took the supplements he recommended (including l-arginine) for decades without cycling. As long as you have no heath issues that might be exacerbated by any of them.
