The issue I'm having is with the following supplements: arginine, agmatine and citrulline malate. As a brief overview... Arginine has been giving me frequent cold sores.... As in every other month vs once every few years. I know this because it started happening when I started using it.... The issue with agmatine is that although not arginine, it is what your body converts arginine into, skipping that step that arginine has to making it much more potent. The issue with citrulline malate is that it turns into arginine or enhances it in the body. So everything goes back to the dreaded arginine.
These are the products I'm taking that contain these products:
Agmatine by itself 1000mg
Dymatize Protein containing arginine
creatine itself that contains arginine
citrulline malate itself 3000mg
xtend Bcaas containing citrulline.
I want to show all the steps I plan to take to wean off the products with hoping to at least continue to take some form of any of the products because let me tell you that are helping me with my workouts:
1. Take less doses
2. If still persists Stop taking agmatine
3. If still persists start taking lysine with dymatize protein and creatine that contains arginine.
4. If still persists stop taking dymatize and take allmax protein that has no arginine.
5. If still persists stop taking creatine.
If still persists See if just citrulline causes break outs:
6. If so, stop taking citrulline and products containing it such as xtend and take one of those mentioned below.
There are bcaa products that don't contain citrulline.... Allmax, universal nutrition, dymatize and optimum nutrition all good for Bcaas
All thoughts welcomed!!!!!!
