L-Arginine Dosage

[hepennypacker52]

If I just buy L-Arginine caps (1g per cap), how much do I have to take in order to actually notice a difference? Do I have to take like 10g a day, or will I notice if I take 3-4g a day? Thanks.

[Mikey1]

i believe the dosage in NO2 is about 3,000g per serving

[hepennypacker52]

But aren't you supposed to take like 3 servings a day of that?

[Mikey1]

two servings per day

I take 500mg's per I workout and I notice a pump, may just be me but IMO L-Arginie dosn't need to be taken in high dosages

i guess after jan, 20th we all will have to take no2 in order to feel super pumped. Nothing else will work like what andro did.

[acecombact1]

1 g L-Arginine on empty stomach in the morning

1g before workout

and 1g before bedtime

[j_neatherlin]

for any type of ergogenic benefit, I think you need ~20g

[thebrakes]

haha...varied opinions on the topic.

i take 4g pre-workout and notice a pump and increased intensity. i wouldnt take them any other time because i dont want pumps and intensity any other time (pumps not being good for anything, really, outside the gym)

agreed 100%
I do the same and I like what I feel when working out.
Pumps are not good for anything, but maybe the ego, but I still enjoy it

[hepennypacker52]

Hmm, I don't really know what to take from this lol (differing opinions). I think maybe I'll take 1g in the morning, and 3g pre-workout. But one person said 20g a day???? There's no way I'm popping 20 of them every day.

20g per day is a stupid reccomendation.
I would range it from 4-8g per day, depending on how much you like to supplement this. Most people will say don't waste your time and money, but the fact is, if you like it, then go for it.
I would not go over 8g/day.

I feel like I get a pump when i took 1,4 and 4ad. I know the 1,4 aids in vascularity so it may have been that...

[hepennypacker52]

Well depending on how I like it or not, I probably won't buy any more. If I have to take like 6g a day, it'll just get expensive.

In order to get any kind of increase in growth hormone secretion from taking L-Arginine, you need large doses (between 10 and 30 grams). This is probably one of L-Arginine's most significant benefits, in my opinion. I don't see how that makes it a stupid recommendation. BTW - at least I know how to spell "recommendation."

I've definitely noticed increased pumps from PH. Much more than with any type of NO2 product.

this is what makes supplementing with L-Arginine a problem. Taking powder is much easier than taking pills (to get 20g), but the **** just tastes terrible

[hepennypacker52]

How long pre workout should I take it?

[pu12en12g]

10g-15g 1 hour preworkout.

[Lonny]

Why is everyone still using NO2 when theres so many better options available.

Did they make it affordable yet?

[hepennypacker52]

And do you take it on off days?

This thread is about arginine powder, not the NO2 product (AAKG) from GNC

[hepennypacker52]

And do you take it on off days?

Bump.

[Torquer]

I'd reccomend ColdFusion over this.

[hepennypacker52]

And do you take it on off days?

Double bump.

[pu12en12g]

And do you take it on off days?

It's optional

No you don't. There are 2 studies done showing the effects can be achieved with a combination of 1200mg each of Arginine and Lysine. THe other study used 1500mg each.

are there any that support small amounts of Arginine alone does the same? The only ones that I'm aware of utilize large doses or Arginine.

Ok I been doing research on Arginine. I found a site that sells injectable arginine 100mg per 1ml the vial has 30ml comes out to be 3g of arginine. My question is if I take a shot instead of oral I know I would need less but I don't know the how much less. It seems to me I can't find anything on a dosage for injectable arginine on the internet. So i'm lost and its kinda expensive. If I take 1ml or 100mg dose a day that will only last a month. I'm thinking two shots .5ml each shot a day and go from there to see what happens raise the dose if needed.

My other research shows that nitric oxide is release better when taking arginine becasue the arginine relaxing the blood vessles and nitric oxide will help send more oxygen to my muscle. In theroy I would get bigger and stonger maybe I don't know. So I'm going to take nitric oxide as well in pill form. I'm thinking starting with 4.5g a day with nitric oxide raise the dose if needed.

Now here the fun part. I need more oxygen how do I get that well I'm hoping chlorophyll supplement would do that trick. If you don't know chlorophyll is. Its what gives the green pigment in plants to do the photosynthesis which makes oxygen. They sell a fast acting supplement add this as well for more oxygen.

However you need more Iron with the chlorophyll. I don't want to take alot of supplements so raisins high in iron will be added to my diet. So if I take more Iron I need more vitamin C I need to add oranges to my diet as well. Lets see what happens.

If anyone know any dosage on injectable arginine let me know please thank you?
