A member asked:

Does taking l-arginine before resistance training help release growth hormone or give any other benefit in general?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details.: Arginine has no influence on growth hormone And is associated with GI bloating and diarrhea. Deficiencies of arginine are rare. It may have cardiovascular benefits but supplements do not improve the benefits.
