How To Take L-Arginine

There seems to be less than adequate expertise on the “how to” of taking L-Arginine. I bought one brand that simply said take one pill per day (500 mg). Another brand suggested 1 pill per day (also 500 mg) taken WITH a meal. Before I started buying straight L-Arginine, I tried VasoRect brand (a combination of L-Arginine and Calcium, which supposedly supports the effectiveness of the amino acid). VasoRect says take 2 pills in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, but no other instructions. None of the L-Arginine products I have seen tell you if they should be taken with water, milk, juice, or whether to take with lots of liquid or if that even matters. My L-Lysine says to take with a full glass of water, preferably after a meal.

So, I am confused about HOW to take L-Arginine for most effectiveness. The consensus among PE-ers seems to be that it should be taken separate from other amino acids, on an empty stomach, and is best taken before retiring at night. Is there any science behind that recommendation, and are there valid references to this. Or is this all conjecture or theory based on anecdotal evidence or personal experience??

Any clarification would be appreciated!!

So, I’m guessing that nobody really has an answer to this question??? L-Arginine is too expensive to be taking if it isn’t taken in a way that justifies its use. Hopefully, someone can shed some light on the subject. Thanks!

Guys,

There are lots of previous threads on l-arginine, just do a search using the word.

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish by taking it. Some guys take it for cum volume, some for better erections, some for other reasons. Different purposes - different amounts and schedules.

Clearly, for cum volume, you need to take it for two or more days to see a difference. (It takes time for your body to produce the stuff)

I take it for rock hard erections, 1.5 to 2.0 grams a few hours before sex. It just needs time to get in your bloodstream. I get all-night wood and it’s much cheaper than viagra! I don’t take it every day.

I got a bottle of 90 1 gram l-arginine pills for 17 dollars(US) at gnc. arginine isn’t a penis pill, It increases vein fortitude and cleans the liver.(HAVE FUN THE FIRST NIGHT AFTER TAKING IT)

Cheapest way to buy is in powder form. Food, especially protein, will f*ck up absorption. Lots of good links on these topics in the various l-arginine threads.

Last time I purchased some I went here

Few links to get you started http://www.futu … m/arginine.html http://www.argi … neresearch.com/

great links,expecially that last one, but protien doesnt absorbe arginine its biproducts are broken down by it. Ameno acids are not made for pe but you can use them to build muscle faster and burn unhealthy fat.

Have you noticed any difference between the powdered form and solid tablets like GNC’s 1 grammers? I’m thinking about absorbtion, bioavailability, and so on.

The powder hits me a lot faster. It feels like my body is getting and using the stuff more than with the pills. A complaint you haer about the powder is its truelly fowel aftertaste and smell. Just hold your nose while drinking and you wont smell OR taste it.

>protien doesnt absorbe arginine<
Didn’t meen that, just that the presence of protien in the colan/stomach will f*ck up how well your body can use the l-arginine.

If some of you guys are searching through all the old l-arginine threads go ahead and compile a link list and post it.

Yea, I took my 3 grams this morning but at the same time and one got stuck in my throut and the taste was horrible, not to mention that it was choking me :D

I never really considered supplementation until now. Thanks guys.

oops I forgot to mention that I take 6 grams now. I dont think it helps me in PE but it does help normal healing.
