L-arginine

[Cool_guy_99]

Hi everybody,
So, I'm pretty sure I have read people talking about L-Arginine but for some reason I just can't find that thread. Thus, I decided to make my own and ask y'all about this product. I know it's good for muscle building, protein synthesis, and production of nitric oxide which is good for blood flow, especially down south but my question is, how many milligrams is it safe to take? I went to Whole Foods today and I saw a bottle of 1000mg and 750mg which I think is wayyyyy to much! and what other side effects if any are you presenting while taking it?
thanks!

I read that in order for the L-Arginine to be effective, you need to take 3500 mg a day. I take that every other day, and have had no ill affects. I do notice that I have a more tumescent dick as a result. It is also effective per clinical trials I have read in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy, at the dose I just mentioned. I have been taking it for nearly 2 years with no side effects. I get mine at Walmart where it is sold very cheaply and comes in 500 mg capsules. I take 7 at a time, generally in the evening, along with 120 mg zinc.
Good luck. I am not a physician. .

I take two 1000mg tablets a day once every 12 hours more or less, seems to work pretty good for me overall. I don't have much of a semi hard-on 24/7 as has been heard but at age 50 it does definately help me get harder longer again.

Good! yes, I was thinking about getting the 1000mg. I have been hitting the gym more frequent so I know I need an additional supplement such as this one. I think i'm just going to start with 1 tab/day and then i'll increase it to twice per day.

F W I W: I take Amazing Formula brand, one 1000mg, every 12 hours, 120 tablets. So basically a 60 day supply. I get it from Amazon. There are a lot of dosages and amounts out there so I'm sure there a lot of ways to take this. Good luck with it and let me know how you do.

1000mg is only a gram

start off on a low dose like 1000mg then up it if it doesn't work - no need to go in high and waste money if you'll get results off a lower dose

I use 3000mg 30mins before training

I started taking L-Arginine, along with Vitamin E, several years ago to counteract the sexual side effects of an SSRI. I'm no longer on the SSRI but I still take 1600mg of L-Arginine. Although after reading this thread I may try upping the dosage. It does seem to help, and I've had no side effects.

 

[bigbucky]

at one time, I took 3000 mg daily for about 2 weeks. I got sores in my mouth, and diarrhea. so I quit for awhile and take just 1000mg daily now. no problems.

 

[Notaes]

I take 5000 mg when I fuck helps me have a massive Cock. No side effects except s big cock!

It might be of interest for some of you to google L Arginine and read the side effects. Upon reading them L Arginine is not recommended for me to use because of the blood pressure medication I use. It could be very dangerous for me to use it. Check it out.

Once you start, your body will let you know what's good for it. And don't forget that a lot of supplements are pissed out, so start with a low dosage and see how your body reacts. 100 mg may be perfect for you. Zinc and Vitamin E are also great, as is Worm Seed.

How long have you been taken 3500m? How long before you noticed it working?

I've been taking it for more than 3 years. It started working almost immediately. If I do happen to miss a few days or a week even, I notice that I lose the chub to my dick, and erections are not as strong.

 

[FastNHard]

I don't know how much is too much. My protein powder has 7100 mg in two servings, I take one serving per day and I also take 1 1000 mg pill per day.

Be sure to look into L-Citrulline. It's processed by your body differently, stays in your system longer and is converted by your kidneys into L-arginine.

After 1-2 weeks of taking 2250 mg every morning (3x750mg caps in my case), erection quality is through the roof, and my flaccid length is about double what it normally is (because of increased blood circulation it's just 'fuller' all the time). If I take it in the evening, I basically knock my alarm clock straight through the wall with the ensuing morning wood. (no but seriously, you get HARD.)

L-Citrulline is primarily found in watermelon (it's what citrulline means in Latin). I have noticed no side effects and I've read about people taking far greater dosages, but as always, gently build up the dosage. Everybody's different.

My girlfriend, who didn't know I was taking it, mentioned multiple times during sex that i felt "really big".

Look it up!

Great commentary from your girlfriend! Thanks for the post.

Definitely agree with berndv81, Citrulline is much more effective and beneficial than arginine. Also look into stacking it with Pine Bark extract for more benefits
