Does L-Arginine work?

I take 1 capsule( 500mg ) L-Arginine with10mg Vitamin B6. The Vitamin Shoppe has 100 caps retail $12.95 40% off $7.77; 300 caps 20.37 this month. my erections were rock hard before yet with taking L-Arginine occurs more often and its like a brick . Thats petty good for a grandfather at 63.

Is there a proper dosage? Right now, I take 1/2 spoon for bodybuilding, but I don’t know the dosage for this use is

RB. How is the maca test going? I started it last week. Having a few side affects but not 100% sure it is from the maca.

Here can you find some cheap arginine and "PE" products:

NOW L-Arginine Powder at Bodybuilding.com: Best Prices for L-Arginine Powder

I’d add: beware the mixing of ingredients, and look closely
at the quantity of L-Arginine per dose. That last one has
only 50mg. I find that doses of 1g to 6g are quite effective.
https://www.provitaminas.com sells Jarrow’s L-Arginine in bottles
of 1g caplets. It’s very cost-effective.

Here’s a good link that pops it’s head up everynow and them on arginine, in case you haven’t seen it-

http://www.argi … neresearch.com/

Very good link, I also took the next step and emailed her to find out which
L-Arginine she suggests well it just so happens she sells one.. Its called
M2 and it is pricey in my opinion, below is quote from her

" No, you cannot take just plain L-arginine. You can find a properly formulated patented L-arginine product called M2 at Case-Foundry® Quality Cases and Screen Protectors for Mobile Phones – Case Foundry®"

SO I WENT TO HER SITE & FOUND THIS

15 Serving Canister
375 grams

Price per can:
$44.95

Wow maybe I will try Jarrow or Now L-Arginine, What do you guys think..

How come if regular, “unformulated,” unpatented L-a works on so many of us hers is better, I’d like to know.

“proprietary blend” bullshit that is probably nothing special at all. Oh, it contains Ground Yak Nut Hair??? That’s different then.

So, being 300 pounds I would get about 8 days out of this 15 serving can. $44.95 + shipping per week. Uh, no thanks.

I just paid $29., which included shipping, for a pound of NOW arginine powder which has 302, 1 1/2 G. servings. Should last 50 days at 6 grams a day.

I am not willing at this juncture to pay the extra to believe this person.

Well I sent her another email explaining that I thought her product was a little pricey and asked her what she thought of *Jarrow and Now* and this was the response I got back.
(My opinion ~ At least she is nice enough to get back to me, same day even)

Her response:

I hear ya. It is expensive, but the price just went from $65.00 to $45.00

It was $65.00 for 15 years.

Cheap L-arginine is just that. As I said, you cannot take L-arginine without its co-factors.

The Jarrow product is $12.99 for 120 tabs 1000 mg (1 gram) of L-arginine. The GH dose for L-arginine is 10,000 mg (10 grams) which is what one serving of M2 contains. You get what you pay for. The Jarrow formula will do nothing at that dose.

I am a research scientist and cannot control pricing, but I can tell you the truth. You can also look up L-arginine research and clinical studies on the Internet, which will tell you exactly what I just stated.

Dr. Allen

My conclusion take 10 tabs which would be 10grams, same dose as M2 and get 12 days instead of 8-15 days of M2 at 1/4 of the price..

~~~~~~ But hey what do I know ~~~~~~~~~ I’m still thinking though

Southpaw??

Is there a way to send you a pm or email..

Me?? Email link is at the bottom of every page.

If you mean Southpaw, I am pretty sure he has his Private Messages enabled. He isn’t a Thunder Junkie that hits the forum every day all day though. Give him a chance to answer.

I took this from the https://www.provitaminas.com website: " L-Arginine 1000 is from free base arginine, which is 17% more potent than arginine HCI (hydrochloride)."

I just bought my first bottle of L-Arginine. They are 500mg pills. It says one tablet per day. But I am having trouble with the amount everyone else is taking. Is 1000mg equal to one gram? I dont want to take too much or too little. Someone please give me advice on how many pills to take for it to be effective.

Thanks.
