  • Starting L-arginine

    Guys,

    I'm about 3 weeks into the JP90 program and have decided to take 1000mg L-arginine as the program suggests. A little reading on the internet tells me that L-arginine can activate dormant Herpes virus. Any truth to this? Should I just start with L-arginine and see how I react to it? What'd you guys suggest?

    Don't know about herpes, but be careful with this stuff I would recommend taking half this dose or less if you haven't tried it before, I tried 500 mg and that worked fine, I tried it in higher doses and it nearly made me lose consciousness, it dilates your blood vessels, so if you suffer from low blood pressure be careful.

      From Healthbourds forum :- "L-arginine promotes the replication of the herpes virus, making a herpes attack more likely. L-lysine interferes with the replication of the herpes virus, helping block an attack. People with any of the herpes viruses should avoid L-arginine supplements or foods that are high in L-arginine. These foods are must nuts, chocolate and many others. I have herpes simplex 1 (cold sores) and cannot eat any nuts except pecans and cannot have any chocolate. I take 1000 mg of L-lysine per day and it prevents my cold sores if I stay away from the problem foods.

      I forgot to answer your last question. L-arginine cannot cause herpes, but it can promote a herpes outbreak if you already have herpes."

          just use Ice on your mouth when you feel an outbreak/itchy feeling. 3 times a day for 15 minutes, and you won't have any sores there.

            Great info Dissily!
            I never had heard that about l-argenine. I've been using it about 3 months and have noticed it does seem to promote faster healing of the tissues which enhances my EQ after PE. I don'i have herpes simplex, but it's quite common and good to know those who have herpes should not take it.

              I take it every day and always have morning wood. It also helps with healing, or least I believe I have noticed that.
              Guess I need to start keeping track.

                Wow, I totally agree Burty! I have low blood pressure and have been taking Arginine the past week and it has left me feeling a little weird. Today I took them and I felt buzzed, light-headed, and overhot. My housemate commented that I was really red, and asked if I was okay! Looked in the mirror and my face and neck were really red. I must take less because of their effect on me... However, they have really helped with my EQ!

                  Start slow and build up to gauge how much you can tolerate. I suffer from severe ED and need to take 5 grams just to generate a semi. About the same I can achieve with 100 mg of Viagra. No negative side effects.

                    5 GRAMS?! I think my skeleton would jump out of my skin if I took that much!
                    I believe that is why they call it a boner.

                        Because it generates a semi for me, it naturally makes me friskier.

                          Can't say it makes me feel friskier, but I do believe it improves my EQ. I take 2500mg capsule every AM with my vitamin (Centrum) and I'm good 2 go!

                            Oh, most definitely. This is kinda funny, but since it goes make me hang a little lower, I feel a little more aware of my penis. And as a man, well, you can go from there

                              A lot to do with L-Arginine is the vasodilation of the blood vessels, that is why you seen redness in your face and neck- all the blood is rushing to the surface. This is helpful, in theory, for penile enlargement as it may help promote blood flow. But, as you said, with low BP you have to be careful of supplements that cause this vaso effect; if you feel the dizziness or light-headedness- stop taking the L-Arginine.

                              Many of the preworkout supplements on the market have similar ingredients to cause the same effect for muscle gains. Just make sure to take in plenty of water!
