I take:
Testosterone, hCG and Arimidex (HRT)
zinc and L-Argenine (for dick-related stuff)
fish oil and glucosamine (arthritis, etc.)
calcium and magnesium (I’m allergic to cows lactose)
whey protein isolate and creatine (for body-building).
My wife reckons I rattle when I walk!!!!!
I tried gingko, but reckon it did nothing for me.
As for the zinc and L-Arginine — your question — the web tells me that zinc lines you stomach and should not be taken with anything else or it might inhibit its absorption. However, if taken by itself, it can cause minor indigestion (it does). Also, the web tells me that L-Arginine should be taken on an empty stomach for maximum absorption. So, I take the zinc (3 X 220 mg Amino Acid Cheleated) 10 minutes before I go to bed and assume I’ll burp a bit in that time; and the L-Arginine (100% pure powder) (1 level teaspoon or about 4 g) first thing in the morning and before the evening meal — about 10 or 15 minutes before eating.
I should add, that I reckon I don’t absorb zinc very well — I used to get post ejaculation headaches and don’t now. Also, I take one extra zinc tablet post ejaculation. [Most of your zinc is stored in semen and, if you cum, you lose much of it]. Oh, I take both with lots of water.
Hope that helps.
