pemdas=liquid muscle?

 

[snakeman458]

arginine helps your body produce nitric oxide. which in turn gives you a fuller feeling when you are lifting,it also increases the blood flow in your muscles.and vascularity more pronounced veins.

yes they have effervescent orange or lemon flavors and they work great

POW! more karma for Grafix, thanks bro.
Snakeman thanks for the input, Karma for you!

Should i start to take this 3 times daily like they recommend? Also do you think that I can take it in conjunction with glutimine and flax oil? Im currently taking those 3 times daily as well as a balanced cutting diet.

yea

Orathine, and Agramine have a great synergetic effect.
Consider adding lysine into your AA program. The three will work to boost test and GH levels considerably.

I take
40 g's glutamine
20 g's agramine
17 g's Orathine
17 g's Lysine
30 g's BCAA's

Daily
Spread out
In the morning, before bed, and pre/post workout.
I highly reccomend them.

Arginine and Orthonine are great GH releasers during the day, but make sure you don't buy them from GNC. Stick to buying them in bulk from www.beyond-a-century.com -- you'll save a fortune!

Arginine and Ornithine are amino acids that will directly enhance growth hormone release while you sleep if taken correctly. The right combination is at least 1 and a half hours (2 hours is better) after the last time you ingested any protein, taken just before bed. In this way, these two cross the blood-brain barrier and cause the increase results in GH. With other aminos in your blood (IE: from other proteins being broken down) these 2 will never get into the brain due to competition with theother aminos. (All this info is found in Dr. Colgan's Sports Nutrition book).

Idealy the correct combination is a ratio of 500mg L-Arginine with 250 MG. Ornithine - But take 3-4 times this amount. This ratio is found in Twin Labs product "L-Arginine & L-Ornithine". They must have been aware of the research findings - that's why the ratios are exactly what they should be and why the 2 are combined together.
