L-Arginine in protein powder

I have heard, not yet read here, that an intake of L-Arginine with other amino acids is almost useless. I got curious as I have bought a protein supplement which contains 2,3 mg L-Argine/Day. My weight is 67 kg. I wonder whether this intake does me any good at all… I suppose you may get L-arginine from food as well(reindeer), so these extra 2,3 mg perhaps will make me improve my erections? I haven’t started PEing yet from my pause but soon I will start again….

Thanks for reading so far, and thanks for answers.

Hi, just a quick post since nobody is answering. Your body will absorb very little L-Arginine if you have protein in your belly with it. Why do they add it to protein powder? Most guys have heard of the stuff but don’t know how to take it or how much to take. (you need grams not milligrams). So they throw a negligible amount in and jack the price.

This has all been covered in great detail. Take the time to read all the different L-Arginine threads.

Okey, thanks for your reply anyway =)

Upps, I didn’t mean 2,3 mg L-Arginin…. I meant 2,3 g L-Arginin =)… Is that enough to be benefical? It is mixed with 25 gram of other proteins…. Will it just pass out off the body or what happens?

My understanding is that 2 to 3 grams is enough to be benefical, but only if taken at least 3 hours after your last intake of protein.
