See, Growth hormone, arginine and exercise. Kanaley JA. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2008 Jan;11(1):50-4. (At rest oral L-arginine ingestion will enhance the growth hormone response and the combination of arginine plus exercise increases growth hormone, but this increase may be less than seen with exercise alone. This diminished response is seen in both in both younger and older individuals.)
see also, Oral arginine does not stimulate basal or augment exercise-induced GH secretion in either young or old adults. Marcell TJ, et al, J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 1999 Aug;54(8):M395-9. ("we concluded that oral Arg does not stimulate GH secretion and may impair GH release during resistive exercise.");
see also, Oral arginine attenuates the growth hormone response to resistance exercise. Collier SR, et al, J Appl Physiol. 2006 Sep;101(3):848-52. (full text at: http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/content/full/101/3/848 ) (Oral arginine alone (7 g) stimulated GH release, but a greater GH response was seen with exercise alone. The combined effect of arginine before exercise attenuates the GH response.)
As you can see from the following graphs, exercise alone will produce a significantly greater growth hormone response than adding supplemental Arginine to your workout (The GH response was 50% higher on the exercise only day than the (exercise + arginine) day, and 65% higher than on the (arginine + no exercise) day.)
(Integrated GH concentrations on each study day. *P < 0.05 vs. placebo. **P < 0.05 vs. exercise. P < 0.05 vs. arginine + exercise.)

No doubt there is benefits to this amino just as there is with any and all aminos. Just that it probably doesn't make sense to use it as a primary ingredient in your pre-workout... I wouldn't worry about having a little, but adding in gram amounts and claiming NO effects, etc... probably should be an extinct marketing angle when just about any semi-knowledgeable member on a bb.com forum knows the difference.

WF may be a worthless NO supplement but it does have beta alanine for improved performance and has a good stim. 2 scoops will give you plenty of beta alanine.
However, I think Assault is probably a better preworkout supplement with beta alanine,creatine,Glutamine, Aspartic Acid...ect.
It does have arginine, but I don't think most supplements have enough of it in them to be detrimental to HG during exercise.Vikings--Wolves-Gophers

dont let people get to you, there is plenty of good info on arginine in healthy humans: (there are studies for and against it like almost every other compound on the market) I am not getting into any debates back and forth as people who have already formed strong opinions (for one reason or the other)are not going to waiver, so in the essence of fairness I am listing just some of the positive studies you can find with an easy web search.

says extra arginine increases NO
mayo clinic says arginine turns into NO in the body:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/l-a...tient-arginine
its healthy for the heart according to the mayo clinic:
Mayo Clinic (1999, July 14). Mayo Clinic Study Shows Dietary Supplement May Help Fight Heart Disease.
mayo clinic is even launching clinical trials to show positive effects on coronary health:
http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00583388
adding l-arginine to the diet will relax the need for or competition between arginase and NO synthase, so it will allow for a greater amount of NO production to occur as well as ridding the body of ammonia.Specials & insider info

All sketchy at best.
One shows it works if you use 30grams. Another is a study done on septic people and pigs, too bad when you are septic the bacteria actually can create NO, so no good there. In fact, any gram positive bactiria will emit NO. Staph is the most common bug and can create a lot of NO.
The rest mean nothing for NO.Vikings--Wolves-Gophers

Sorry, read that wrong. Still, didn't say how much was neeeded. It also does not say how much it was increased by and also stated that "Individuals may have a variable NO response from an oral arginine administration". Hardly sounds consistant enought to base a supplement around.
I read the linked ones, I'll read the rest later but I suspect I'll find the same jumping from one assumption and half truth to another.Vikings--Wolves-Gophers

of course it says it, right here
"Three grams of freebase arginine or alanine was ingested hourly between 4 am and 2 pm. Neither arginine nor alanine had an effect on C-peptide or insulin concentration. Oral arginine, but not alanine, increased plasma arginine, citrulline, and ornithine concentrations."Specials & insider info
