User Reviews for l-arginine

not enough time to find if it works

I have fewer migraines. I continue to need Relpax (40mg) for migraines.

Recommendation (not prescribed) by cardiologist to help with blood pressure and coronary artery blockage prevention. Started with 1 gram 2x daily, increased to 3 grams 3x daily (you'll determine your limit by body reaction, i.e. diarrhea). Have experienced improved cardiac workouts, increased energy, improved mood, heightened sexual fitness.

I took this to put the "oomph" back in my erections. No real problems, just feeling my age and thought this would help. Didn't really discuss it with my wife. After an evening together she said...wow...you were really...um...large. So I think it helped. I think it was just more firmness that she noticed.

Been on for one week results good for me, bad for my girlfriend. She hides my supplements now because I Peter North blast her while on them. Has brought down my grocery bill as girlfriend no longer needs to buy protein shakes :o...

I found the best treatment my wife and i tried so far to bring back our libidos and help me with E.D. is taking L-Arginine6000. i got it off their website and it has 6000 mg per dose and many b vitamins along with L-citruline that is suppose to help the L-arginine have bettter absorption in the body. We just know it works great and has even helped us shed a few pounds.

Fuller harder erections, more volume in seamen, longer lasting erections, more intense ejaculations, more sensitive. The only side effect is burning feeling in bowels followed be diarea, which only happened when taking more than 1000 mg a day. No problems at 1000mg a day.

1st time - 1500mg a few hours before "happy time" and i knew something was different. my flacid penis and testes hung and had veins compared to retracted testes and "pool shrinkage". erection was better quality, cause/ effect. after a week of 1000mg 3x per day and i feel like im 25 again. virtually no side, maybe excess gass? effects after one week. another good point is that its noticably combats chronc stress, the most likly source of my ed.

My homeopathic doctor prescribed this for ED I was not having too much luck and asked my primary care for Viagra. I find that Viagra alone does not give me the benefit I required but when I take L-ARGININE in the morning prior to taking Viagra in the afternoon, I gain the results I want. Based on my experience I would say if you are getting good results with one do not take both as the seem to have a cumulative effect. A secondary affect was during my physical workouts I find that I breath easier and can sustain cardio for longer periods without running out of breath. This was significant to me because my asthma sometimes can slow me down and I do not have that problem if I have had sufficient L-ARGININE earlier in the day.Read More Read Less

I use 2500 mg L-Arginine per day. Noticed effect after three days with increased libido, volume of ejaculate [if fully hydrated]. Combined with other libido enhancer products.

Almost immediately I felt better with more energy in the day while taking Cardio4Life. My blood pressure was borderline low at the cardiologist, was told to reduce the medicine I've been on to lower my blood pressure.

Being in my mid 40's now somethings don't work like they used to. I read a review on this awhile back and decided to give it a shot. I'm taking 3000 mg daily and noticed immediate results...firmer, longer lasting erections...no longer worried about things falling asleep when they shouldn't.

E.D. problems are starting to show up so got with my pcp and he has perscribed l-arginine so far i have ok results started out with 4,000mgs./day now up to 8,000mgs./day alot better at the higher dose but still not great wondering if there might be something better or maybe l-arginine with another supplement any help would be great

I'm on hormone replacement for low testosterone but the therapy wasn't bringing back the erections. Tried other supplements with barely any improvement until I combined one scoop of L-arg Powder (5000 mg, which seemed high)with a 50 mg Pycnogenol capsule daily. it has been more than a year now and I take a short break each time I run out of powder. I know it works because each time I return to the L-arg/Pycnogenol i wake up with an erection within a day or two. Others have said it takes more time but the powder is 5000mg even at half recommended dose. All I know is it works. There may be an alcohol interaction because I feel lousy if i have more than a drink or two on the l-arg.Read More Read Less

After starting to take 3 grams per day, my blood pressure significantly dropped to the lowest level it had ever been, even with prescription medications. All people are different, but this definitely worked for me. I have completely stopped one of my prescription blood pressure medications and my blood pressure is still under control. I think it is amazing!

I have been taking L-Arginine for the past three years. I take 4 caps in the morning and 4 at night of super strength L-Arginine of 900 mg with no side effects what so ever. It completely controls the high blood pressure. I pay about $6.00 for a 200 cap bottle which is a lot less than what a prescription costs.

I used to get headaches from too much coffee or stress. A 5 gram dose will blunt the blood pressure spike from strong coffee. A 3 gram dose will blunt run of the mill, daily stresses. For serious stress I sometimes need 6 - 8 grams to prevent a headache. Only disadvantage is the short duration of nitric oxide increase. A normal sized dose may last no more than an hour.

I am using Healthy Origins brand Sustained Release. These tablets are very hard and I rather suspect that they pass through my body unabsorbed. No effect to date.

I bought over the counter L-arginine by Blue Bonnet. I used 1 capsule 500mg. I felt awful. I felt like my head was full and all the blood vessels were about to explode in a bad way. I couldn't wait for it to wear off. I got such a bad headache from it. I am going to try a different brand and cut the dose in half to see if it makes a difference. The same thing happens to me with Vit K2 and nattokinase. There must be something in those that dilate the vessels which is needed but I just can't handle it. I have 40% blockage in my carotid and over 80% blocked in a renal artery and my bp spikes from 120's - 170's over 80's-100's. It's horrible as I don't want to have a stroke, and bp meds don't agree with me. I tried the lowest dosage of norvasc a calcium channel blocker and got a thunderclap headache and vomiting and my bp went up to 250/135. They tried 3 more in the same class, same reaction (i could have told them that). I tried 2 beta blockers and i was higher than a kite and didn't eat or sleep for 2 days and my throat was so numb I couldn't swallow. I have paradoxical reactions to drugs.Read More Read Less
