Transdermal L-Arginine
I’ve been looking into this stuff pretty intensely lately, and I think there may be some PE use for it.
One particular company (Strategic Science & Technologies, Inc) is marketing it for various applications. They have a multiple patents (see here ) for their transdermal arginine.
It seems, initially, they were targeting diabetics, specifically for their feet. Evidently, diabetics have cirulation problems with their feet.
These guys came up with a simple transdermal solution to get L-Arginine into the tissue. Once there, their study (WebMD’s article on the study ) indicates
it raises the temperature pretty dramatically, due to the arginine’s
effect on Nitric Oxide, eplained here:
L-Arginine is the substrate of nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme which produces nitric oxide. Nitric oxide controls local blood flow by activating the production of cyclic-GMP. Cyclic-GMP in turn, causes the relaxation of the small blood vessel walls allowing blood to flow at its natural levels. (More info here )
So now, they market it for diabetics, both male and female sexual uses, hair growth, etc, anything where increased blood flow would be beneficial.
Me, being the PE addict I am, looked at the PE uses for this. Perhaps it would help with the coldness I get from hanging. Increased blood flow might also aid in healing.
So, I bought some, mostly to try on the wife, but also for PE. Unfortunately, she came down with a virus the same day it arrived, (my whole life is like this, don’t get me started). But I did dab a little on myself prior to my PE session, and after about 20 mins, noted a very pleasant warming sensation, and this lasted throughout my session.
Since the ingredients for their transdermal delivery are not complex, and you can purchase pure L-Arginine powder and liquid, I’d bet you can make this stuff for 1/10th the price.
Just passing this on to the PE community. Might be of interested to some.
