I have been doing some research on arginine. And it states that it is not effective in tablet or capsule form and that powder form is the best way to cross the blood brain barrier. This could explain why some people have felt no affect.

• Capsules Or Tablets • Sprays Or Liquid • High Glycemic Formulas (Any Formula That Contains Glucose, Glucose
Polymers, Sugar, Sucrose, Maltodextrins, Honey) • Less Than 10,000 Mg (10 G) Of Elemental L-Arginine • Formulas Without A Blind Amino Acid ® Rider • Formula That Contain Protein Or Competing Amino Acids • Formulas With No/Low Carbohydrates • HCL Arginine Or • Formulas Taken At Incorrect BBB Access-Times • Formulas Taken With Or Near Food/Drink (Other Than Water) • Formulas That Contain High Glycemic Flavor Systems • L-Lysine: Unlike L-arginine, L-lysine does not improve whole muscle
strength or size, and is therefore a substandard amino acid for athletes and
persons desiring to increase size and power output from muscle tissue and
muscle mitochondria.

according to my research so far, l-argininem2 is the best form and has to be at least 5g per day for therapeautic benefit and 10g to stimulate human growth hormone.

any feedback on this?
