Question 1

hi im 17 and want to increase my height im 5,10  and should i take l arginine so yes how much per day and is it must to do workout after taking it?

Accepted Answer

Waste of money: You are most likely to reach your tallest potential height by following a healthy diet, getting appropriate sleep &amp; and remaining physiclly active.Nothing you eat or drink will add inches.No exercise will make you taller.You can stunt your growth by the opposite, poor diet/sleep/inactivity can all take a toll.At 17 you are likely near the end of your growth phase.

Question 2

hi, i'm 17 right now and i want to take some pre workout and it contain 1000 mg of l-arginine, is it safe to take?

Accepted Answer

Safe: Although the jury's still out on whether L-arginine actually helps with exercise performance, the 1 gram amount is probably similar to what you can get from your diet, so it should be a safe amount.

Question 3

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 4

i take adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine).  i also workout.  i started some supplements.  are there any interactions, please be specific. supplements are creatine monohydrate, l-arginine, and whey protein with glutamine.

Accepted Answer

From : From the perspective of western medicine, there's likely nothing bad about these things in combination.  If you've taken the add med for some time, you already know how it affects you and i wouldn't expect you to feel any differently when using the supplements.  Certainly discuss any sudden changes with your doctor if suddenly your add becomes less well controlled.  My guess is that exercising is something that helps keep your add at bay, and if the supplements are helping with that, it's an ok thing to do.

Now, if you want to get a more specific answer about how these supplements are supposed to work, or how they work in concert with each other, i suggest you consult a certified nutritionist or natropathic practitioner.

Question 5

can a 19 year old take l arginine? if so, how often should it be taken and when is the best time to take it during the day?

Accepted Answer

Arginine: You can take it but if you are well and have a balanced diet you are likely achieving the same thing. Many people use it has a supplement prior to exercise. 6 mg a day in divided doses will not harm you. More than 10 mg will make you sick. All the best and just try to include it in your diet.

Question 6

i would like to add l-arginine to my workout supplement regimen. read that if on bp meds=bad idea. generally safe or not?

Accepted Answer

Useless: If you are eating a balanced diet, this dietary supplement will not do you any good,  other than lightening your wallet.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 7

i want to know about l-arginine benefits and muscle gain. i'm doing hiit (high intensity intervals training) every day, focus t25 workout.

Accepted Answer

See details: Studies are contradictory. Some suggest that L-arginine may increase levels of growth hormone while other studies have not found this to be the case. I would avoid this supplement and focus of your resistance training and a high protein diet.

Question 8

is it okay to consume alcohol after 6 hours of taking bsn nitrix (its a workout supplement main ingredients are l-arginine and alpha keto-glutarate )?

Accepted Answer

Read product warning: Unless contraindicated in the product warning, it should be generally OK to consume some alcohol, several hours after taking the nutritional supplement.

Question 9

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 10

can i take l arginine 1000 mg and ginseng complex together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Of course. Ginseng is a general tonic that can raise testosterone levels and enhance male sexual function.
L-arginine is an amino acid with many benefits including raising nitric oxide levels, thus dilating blood vessels and enhancing erections, sometimes called 
Nature's Viagra. These are often combined (along with other ingredients) in supplements for male health. They can work synergistically.
