L-Arginine = Super Babies?

Anyone want to theorize on whether offspring fromm L-Arginine induced semen loads will be healthier or genetically weaker than offspring that would otherwise come thru natural means? Anyone here have conceived a child while on the supplement?

Yes, and she’s wonderful, but I think water, zinc and Vit C have more to do with healthy, motile, and
properly formed sperm, than L-Arginine.

Intriguing BFLR, Congratulations! how old is she now? If I were expecting to have a baby I’d be making sure I was receiving enough of the most vital nutrients too. I currently think I’m pretty flushed with necessary nutrients, due to bodybuilding. I do 2000 mg Vit C a day in pill form,
Zinc Magnesium supplement with 2 multivitamins, glutamine and the obligatory protein saturated system. I’ll have to read up on it further I’m sure there’s alot of info for would be parents out there.

It’s hard to believe that arginine would make a difference, but there are certainly other things you can do that would influence things. Smoking parents tend to have babies that are not as quick to learn and progress in terms of IQ (I’m a smoker and didn’t want to hear that). Although I hear that arginine can improve sperm motility, I find it a stretch to accept that it improves DNA. You never know though…

O’bullshit. I find it hard to believe that smoking could effect the DNA either to this degree of severity. Granted it can’t be beneficial, but what the hell do I know. Smoking is the root of all worldly evils. What I do know is that I’ve got 4 healthy, happy children here that are exceptionally gifted in the IQ department. In fact they’ve all tested out quite high and one is a borderline child prodigy. Unfortunately both the wife and I will be going to hell though because we’re both smokers. What I find more alarming is the prolific US preoccupation with diagnosing every other kid as suffering with ADD or ADHD. Now if we rule out teachers and school systems that have no business teaching in the first place and those children who were abused, born to drug addict & alcoholic parents, and those unfortunates who’s parents obviously had no sane reason for breeding in the first place, then this still leaves quite a few children who clearly exhibit the symptoms of both ADD & ADHD. As this is uniquely a U.S. phenomenon. I would be keenly more interested in what the fuck is causing this.

Kool-Aid??

Hmm How do we test this theory?
Actually I’m beginning to wonder if it’s related to horse size prenatal vitamins that they force feed to all expectant mothers in the U.S.
These things are huge. I’m wondering because I watched a show on one of the science channels last week about a bunch of studies done in London on vitamins and some very serious health consequences of taking to much. They were dealing with Basic vitamins like A B C D & E. Really good show, scientific research data from reputable researchers, some seriously damaged people from taking to much, and tons of snake oil salesmen promising you the fountain of youth.

Interesting thread…I’ve always wondered how I can have genetically superiour children. I’m actually in the process of possibly trying to have children. Seems somewhat difficult lately. Anyway my genetics aren’t the best as I’m small, about 5’8”, and have always been skinny under 150lbs until I hit about age 24 where I finally hit 150lbs. My fiancee is also from a family of not the most intelligent people although she seems to be a bit brighter then the rest of her family. I suppose I’m the smartest in my family but that’s really not what I’m looking for, I think I can always help my children to be somewhat smarter, not a genius, but still smarter then anyone else in my family. I just want them to be bigger then I was…my dad stands at 6’ tall and about 200+. I believe I got my genetics from my mother since her brother and I look physically identical in body structure. I’ve been working out on and off for the past 8 years and I am pretty strong for my size but I still can’t get big. Hopefully all my hard work will be somehow passed on to my children through genetics. I’m just wondering if there any pills or vitamins I can take to help things along.

Your comment about your fiancee’s family got a laugh out of me.

We had our first child about a year ago. My wife worries about her being supersmart, and I care more
about her being well-rounded, honest, happy and confident. Some of it is nature, which you can’t do
much about, but for the rest, when you have kids, love them, give them some of your precious time,
and let them know they are safe with you. I’ve worked with hundreds of high schoolers in a counseling
position. The most likable come from families where the parents spend quality time with their kids
and don’t leave their kids wondering whether their parents care about them or not.

My, wasn’t that rather deep?
