Arginine Tips for Ya (All Problems Solved)

Kona,

I just ordered mine, now that I read the camel's ass flavouring, I am thinking that I may be in for a treat.

only thing with a lot of nitic oxide you increase free radical activity...make sure you take soem extra antioxidants while ramped up on Arginine...

i wouldn't take high doses of arginine if you have a canker sore....
i had one n used a bulking protein powder that had around 7 grams per serving n it blew it up......

As far as the viral component goes, check this out:

"If the arginine balance is far higher than the lysine, then fungal forms, allergies and viruses like the herpes simplex viruses, are not kept under control by the immune system. On the other hand, keeping lysine levels high helps the immune system control allergies, viruses and fungals."

So, to offset the outbreaks, make sure your lysine supplementation is up there. I have no idea of the doseage, though. Maybe others can add their two cents.

BAC has a killer buffered arginine product, but they won't ship to Canada anymore, and I was informed via email yesterday that "arginine is on our restricted list for Canada".

That blows 'cause I have 2 pounds of unbuffered arginine to gag down.

Lysine definetly helps with herpes... been using it a year now at gram a day and have had only 1 breakout(oral)..... use to get 2-3 breakouts in the fall and another 2-3 in the spring... and sometimes 1 in the summer from overexposure to the sun but ive been frying my arse off this year and not one problem... oh and the 1 breakout i did have was when i was using arginine... stopped taken that supplement right away after that...

Just to report and confirm - I've now tried the BAC buffered Arginine and it tastes just fine.

Guys, I'm telling you - for Herpes try the Olive leaf. It will make all the difference in the world.

Hey Rogerwilcox,
What was your begining dosing regime to get up to 30g/day? Seems right now I'm taking approx 6-8g with h20, then running to the can. Do you take yours plain? with carbs? I'd kill to get a hold of a buffered version, but I may have to make my own somehow.
