About L arginine

I just started taking L arginine 500mg in tablet form of solgar brand. Just wondering is it safe to take ?

If you're prone to cold sores through, take with the amino acid l-lysine. Other than this if you're a healthy individual, it's safe.

It's safe but depending on what you're using it for it might not be doing what you think it's doing.

This. And next time, don't buy a supplement, regardless of reason or expected ergogenic effects, unless you research it first.

You mean you read posts of them taking 5-10 GRAMS.

The problem with arginine is most of it is converted to ornithine before you can absorb it. Citrulline however, converts to L-arginine in the body. Citrulline is also an arginase inhibitor, making arginine much more effective.

Depending on what you're hoping to get out of it, CM/L-cit may be the better option next time
