How many use agmatine for health benefits?

Monte, agmatine has quickly became one of my favorite sups. I am extremely happy Formutech is releasing a raw of it. I have been using it for years and love it.

O2, thanks for the info. Please let me know when the Formutech raw is available. Good stuff.

Haha your right I'm over by 500

Haha ;)

No adverse effects going that high?
 
sometimes I take 2500mg before training but 1 gram did nothing for me so I usually do 2 grams. I heard its safe

I think this will be different for everyone, and trial and error is the best way to gauge. I haven't heard of anyone dosing higher than EBF Inc so that would probably be the upper limit, but he could tell you how much of a difference he feels going from the ~1g/day range up to the ~3g/day range. I think his main goal is helping his back, but I am sure he has been noting how he feels in detail as he has been in the game a long time, tried lots of supps and designed some great products. Now that it has come down to a good price, I can't wait to start experimenting with agmatine dosing!
 
1g pre-workout for me explodes me rather nicely. I've had a hard time deciding if I prefer 1g agmatine or kno3 better.

It uses argingine for pump as it's main product. You're buying over priced argingine which doesn't have much conversion to No in the body anyway.

We talking about the Cellucor NO3? It's arginine nitrates, you can ignore the arginine but the nitrates are effective.
 
I am not sure about bulk, I am using the iForce brand it and take 3 caps about 45 min prior to workout. The label shows 150mg PN and 60mg vit C per cap.

Honestly, I am on TRT and do not take any workout supps really, outside of Agmatine and this. Everything else is noot and adaptogen related. Without question, I have had nothing short of mind blowing results in strength and endurance with this combo.

did u ramp up to this or start with 3 a day?
 
I started with 2 and assessed for a couple weeks to see how it worked. Immediately noticed a difference in endurance. Weight I'd normally put up in 3-5 range easily went to 6 in the first week. Recalibrated the weight and stayed on 2 for another week and then went to 3. Once I went to 3, strength continued on par with 2, but I am a walking road map all day long. Literally have veins coming out of the top of my hands and up in my neck. It is insane, but so cool looking that I decided the 1 extra for ego was worth it.

I took it for a month straight and then took a month off to see the effect of not having it. Strength stayed, but endurance started dropping after about a week or two. Picked up another bottle a few weeks back and the effect is immediate. I literally feel like I could never get tired.

awesome, I'm ordering some, thanks for the feedback man
 
Well great now I have to spend more money because I want duh pumpz. Lol that's awesome I'm going to add this to my PwO stack

It's so cheap... Wow
 
One thing I will add is that PN lowers your BP. For me, this translates into feeling nice and calm walking into the gym, which is how I like to lift. If you are someone that needs to feel aggro to lift well, you may need to add something to this.

I do find it harder to induce cardiovascular stress with the lowered BP, agmatine + PN + Forskolin with my pre makes everything feel pretty easy.

Ever check your BP after all that?

Yes actually, and lets just say its good I combined with stims and got my heart pumping.

It didn't make a drastic drop, but it did drop and I have low BP as it is so I ended up dropping the Nitrates
 
Yeah, I'll be honest that it was sheer laziness. I know it works and don't really care about the $20. I have a ton of vit C, so maybe will go that route next time.

Some don't mind popping about 500mg a vitamin C with the straight PN. Insanely cost effective if your planning on staying in the game.

Definitely a good option. Go for I Force if you forget to take pills and Nutrikey if you don't.
