Do these supplement work synergistically or do they compete for absorbtion (esentially counteracting one another)?

The two are commonly paired in GH boosting products.
What made you think that they may compete?

They both start with an L lol
 
Idk if i can post it on here because its another "BB" website. But its called "Amino Acid Guide". Halfway down it says "Precaution: Do not stack arginine with lysine because they compete for absorption."
 
i dont think they effect anything.
 
arginine depletes lysine in the brain. they compete for the BBB one depletes the other, lysine is shown to enhance immune system. Also had to do with the reoccurance of cold sores.

i personally like supplementing with lysine as lysine and leucine are the only ketogenic amino acids. but thats just me.
