L-Arginine is important for cell growth, but make sure you aren't overdoing it on any 1 protein complex, your body needs a combination of all the essential amino acids, you start to stack up on one and your body will more or less shut down cell production.

With the yohimbe, while it is good for its reuptake inhibitor of neurotransmitters that reduce smooth muscle contractions (aka, it stops your body from decreasing smooth muscle activity, heart, lungs, some penis tissue) make sure you follow ALL the caution labels. If you eat a lot of cheese, wine, anything with a high amount of tyramine you are at risk for hallucinations, delusions, and disastrous effects to your serotonin and dopamine receptors. Also if you take anti-depressants, MAOI's plus yohimbe are also VERY dangerous, so be careful.

Make sure if you are taking multiple vitamins (including penis pills) to make sure you aren't going too far over your vitamin A levels (this doesn't count beta carotene), this can damage your spleen and liver.

If you aren't shy about it, I would recommend talking to your doctor about which supplements and vitamins you take, they can probably tailor a regiment specifically to you and your body that will really increase cell production.

First we pop pills then we pop models... hopefully

Great post, skoor. What brands of supplements do you take? Have you tried Nox2 or anything similar with your bodybuilding efforts?
