Just read through all the posts including mine. Some comments to several posts.
One this product is an amino acid. Wheat Germ is full of amino acids. I haven't checked, but I bet wheat germ is full of it.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. So it is not as likely to get too much as some other things like zinc. There are side effects of too much of any mineral. Even too much water can cause kidney failure. Keep in mind too much of a good thing can be deadly.
I get most of my heath stuff from either Wall Mart or GNC. I take the over 50 vitamin pack which includes five different pills. I don't' have to worry about buying this or that as much. I depend on GNC which I trust to have everything in the right combination for the average male.
For my special health needs, I also take extra vitamin C and natural vitamin E prescribed by a doctor. I was taking the alpha only vitamin E. My doctor put me on the nature form which includes alpha, beta, gamma and delta. GNC has one vitamin E product that has all four as most health food stores do. Wal Mart does not. I am a big proponent of Vitamin E as it has made a ton of difference in my health.
I like GNC because it seems to be in the middle of the pack: Above Wal Mart in quality, but not as expensive as some of those health food stores. I can't afford some of their products.
I will start taking L-Arginine again. I took it once upon a time. But I'm always shy of taking too much of anything so I only took one tablet a day. Now that I know the therapeutic dosage I will try it.
I also take the glucosamine, MSM, garlic, cinnamon. black cherry extract.
Then there are several ones that I take just once a week in case I don't get enough of them. A little extra insurance.
One poster commented that L-Arginine made you pee better. I assume that that means the piss comes out stronger and in a straight line instead of all over the floor and pants and shoes. :biggrin1: If I don't want a mess I have to sit down to piss. I hope this will help with that.
A word of caution. Goggle all products to see if an overdose is possible and check the side effects. Also if you take prescription medication, google the prescription to see if certain herbs and health pills are contra-indicated, means can't take at the same time.
One last note. Those herbs and stuff.....many prescription medications are made from them as well. Many of health pills are real medications in natural form and taking them is as serious as taking something prescribed by the doctor.
