    l-arginine

    went and bout some 500mg capsules. This stuff is pretty cheap. Who all takes it? and how do you take it? It says between meals but, I eat 6 meals a day. I think I am going to take it with breakfast and 30 min b4 workout.

    Arginine (abbreviated as Arg or R)[1] is an α-amino acid. The L-form is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids. Its codons are CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG. In mammals, arginine is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual. Infants are unable to meet their requirements and thus arginine is nutritionally essential for infants. Arginine was first isolated from a lupin seedling extract in 1886 by the Swiss chemist Ernst Schultze.

    Function

    Arginine plays an important role in cell division, the healing of wounds, removing ammonia from the body, immune function, and the release of hormones. Arginine, taken in combination with proanthocyanidins[4] or yohimbine[5], has also been used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.

    The benefits and functions attributed to oral ingestion of L-arginine include:

    * Precursor for the synthesis of Nitric Oxide (NO)
    * Stimulation of the release of growth hormone.
    * Improves immune function
    * Reduces healing time of injuries (particularly bone)
    * Quickens repair time of damaged tissue
    * Reduces risk of heart disease
    * Increases muscle mass
    * Reduces adipose tissue body fat
    * Helps improve insulin sensitivity
    * Helps decrease blood pressure
    * Alleviates male infertility, improving sperm production and motility
    * Increases circulation throughout the body, including the sex organs

                7 grams of powdered arginine tastes like crap! i talke l-citrulline for NO usually on an empty stomach particularly before sex and take citrulline maleate before exercise. citrulline is more readily absorbed and converts to arginine in the body.

                        If you get cold sores, herpes, or shingles, large dose arginine will increase frequency of outbreaks.
