L-Arginine??? Safe and beneficial?

[digbick69]

Hello gentlemen!!

I completed JP90's beginner routine and am well on my way with Kingpole's routine. I've been following Kingpole's routine to a T. Side bar: When I do my warm up and stretches I don't do kegels while stretching because I believe it gave me issues finishing peeing. (took way too long)

Anyway it occurred to me that I stopped taking 1 mg of L-Arginine as recommended by JonPop while making my way through Kingpole's routine. So my question.. Over the years have you guys had a positive results using L-Arginine and have you experienced any side effects thus far? Any recommendations on use of L-Arginine and or general excercise/routine/supplement advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you,

Digbick

Yes, I use LA. I used to take it in pill form and now take it as an ingredient in a protein powder I use. Your best source for info are clinical oriented sites on the Internet. LA is well researched and has numerous benefits as well as side effects - you'll find lots of good info. The key is to take the amount needed depending on your diet and supplement with complementary amino acids, either through diet or supplementation.

I have taken L-arginine (about 4 grs,) fairly regularly for years. I have ED, but l-arginine always increases my engorgement. I never suffered any side effects.

Thank you for sharing! I'll need to research some more then. May I ask when you started your PE journey? Just checking out your statisdicks in your bio! ... oh and how much L-arginine do you take for your bodyweight?

Right on, thanks for sharing. Are you saying 4grams per day?

When I was stacking LA tablets with other amino acids, I was taking 12.2 mg/kg three times per day. So, 3 grams a day total for my weight of 81.8 kg. Right now, I'm taking a different premixed stack that's 1 gram per day of LA.

L-Arginine is like any other supplement, too much isn't good or helpful. But the l arginine always seems to give me a fatyer flaccid hang and it improves my EQ

I use it at 700mg capsules. Take 4 caps twice daily. Mostly I just take 4 caps daily.

It helps in other ways... noticed that my body definition looks like I workout and that's cool. I've been taking it for quite some years... I think since 2015.
In terms of eq... it's very good.

Thanks Physdoc! When you were taking 3 grams a day how long were you doing that for and was that when you were you making most of your significant gains?

I'm just a little lighter than you.. Are you seeing the benefits taking 1gram LA a day right now?

I see! Thanks for sharing. People seem to be averaging 3grams/day of LA in this thread. I was concerned about taking 1 lol. Glad you've been seeing benefits! Do you think it's been helping your gains as well?
