Benefits of L-arginine?

[TheBigBrodie]

Has anyone noticed benefits by supplementing with L-arginine? (Such as results, feeling, health properties)

 

[Old School]

Take them at night with ornithine supposed to stimulate a GH release

 

[mpaquett]

Supplement citrulline malate or citrulline. Don't waste your time with oral l-arginine.

Pop 3 grams of arginine pwo and my pwo has 1.5 grams. Pumps are legit

Supplement citrulline malate or citrulline. Don't waste your time with oral l-arginine.

Couldn't agree more.

Pumps/NO supp.... best form being AAKG (Arginine alphaketoglutarate)

but as mentioned before citruline is used for the same purpose and actually better:

"L-Citrulline is another supplementation option because it is converted into arginine in the kidneys. It also has a better absorption rate. Citrulline is able to increase levels of plasma arginine more effective than arginine itself. For long-term health-related supplementation, L-citrulline may be a better supplementation option than L-arginine."

 

[mpaquett]

Arginine Ornitine over anything else, but I still wouldn't even bother with that. You probably get more arginine in two scoops of most protein powders versus supplementing with l-arginine. I think the studies of it were with like 40g of oral arginine or something ridiculous.


Nitrates > citrulline > all

Good only for spermiogenesis! (They say).

Overall there are many things that can give better benefits. CM, BA and agmatine to name a few.

 

[The Express 42]

A combo of arginine and Citrulline Malate has been shown to be more effective than just Citrulline alone
