Accepted Answer

Supplements: Both of yhese drugs can give you nausea, stomach cramps or pain. In addition you can get diarrhea.In general these drugs arenot recommended because of their long term effects. Whats more with your medical history i would erron the safe side.

Question 2

what is a safe dosage for me to take of l arginine to improve my erections?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: L-Arginine is commonly included in many brands of supplements touted for enhancing erection, which usually have Yohimbine - the chief ingredient for helping erection through central nerve effect. In reality, l-arginine effect for erection is still not clearly defined. Note the cause for ED is always multiple and no single agent can boot but potentially help improve erection depending on existing..

Question 4

can l-arginine lower blood pressure & if so what is recommended dosage?

Accepted Answer

Possibly beneficial: In some people. Arginine is converted to nitric oxide, which has a relaxing effect on blood vessels & can thus reduce blood pressure somewhat. No standardized dose has been recommended. Be advised that arginine can also trigger or worsen viral infections like herpes. Discuss this supplement with your doc before taking it.

Question 5

when is the best time to take l-arginine amino acid for the veins to show? *i workout very hard* and what is the recommended daily dosage? is it safe?

Accepted Answer

When you wish: Congratulations on taking up strength training. Arginine is safe, it may help you build some muscle by stimulating growth hormone, and may indeed accent your being vascular though keeping lean and high blood volume by doing a lot of cardio and watching fats and carbs in your food will help more. See whether you look more vascular shortly after taking arginine, and if so, take it before show times.

Question 6

l-arginine and fish oil supplement is good for body building? how many dosage should i take daily?

Accepted Answer

No both: Oil fish is more used for treatment of hyperglycemia and you must take about 6 caps daily and L-arginine can help for muscle growth. But i prefer creatine.

Question 7

i want to know what dose of l-arginine i should take each day to increase muscle. i also want to know if i take l-arginine before exercise or after.

Accepted Answer

None: L-Arginine is a Nitric Oxide donor that opens blood vessels to your muscles and causes your skin to feel prickly during exercise. It doesn't increase muscle mass directly. You still have to work out. I think 1000 mg prior to workout is a good way to improve blood flow to your muscles and get a better workout.

Question 8

dose taking pentoxifylline 400 mg 2 times per day and l arginine 1000 mg 2 times per day and cialis 5 mg one time per day is a wrong combination and can causes priapism because of high increase of nitric oxide ? or this combination is safe ?

Accepted Answer

: Priapism is a rare side effect of cialis. I am not sure you use L arginine for erectile dysfunction or for peripheral vascular insufficiency along with pentoxifylline. In theory, because L arginine can increase the blood flow to the penis so it can strengthen the effect of cialis or exacerbate the side effect. However, there is no reported interaction of these three medications that I can find.

Question 9

its thats true? you can get herpes in l-arginine? i have past symptom herpes zoster in my left side forehead. im planing to take l-arginine bodybuild

Accepted Answer

Not been proven: Herpes is a virus infection, so can be transmitted by contact with another person who has a herpes infection or who carries the virus.  Herpes simplex 1 and 2 are the common oral and/or genital herpes infections that people call "herpes".  (herpes zoster is shingles, caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox.) contradicting information for lysine and arginine is all over the internet.

Question 10

what is l-arginine good for?

Accepted Answer

Arginine: ....Is something your body normally makes, but you can be deficient if you don't have enough of the building blocks. Symptoms of deficiency include poor wound healing, hair loss, skin rash, constipation, and fatty liver. There is some evidence it may be useful for claudication (pain in your legs with exercise due to poor circulation). It's used for lots of other things, but without good evidence.
