does your body develope a tolerance to l-arginine?

Hello, well I will quit taking supplements

HELLO THere: well to tell you the truth i don't feel kine of good about supplements at all, all they do is suck my pockets, everytime i go to the GNC to buy something, i don't get results and they even make me feel worst, hell man, it's been frustrating, for instance, protein powders give me a lot of discomfort, and amino acids do not do anything to me.
I will just rely on plain eating good food, and a lot of water, that's the best thing to do ;-)

I've never heard of the body building a tolerance to any amino acid.

Yes your body develops a tolerance to consistent L-Arginine use. We all know Arg gets metabolized to become Nitric Oxide. Within the human body there is a nasty free radical lurking about. This free radical is called Super Oxide. When super oxide comes in contact with NO they react to form a few new compounds. Among these new compounds is another nasty free radical known as Peroxynitate. The more arginine you consume, the more NO is produced, which mean more peroxynitrate is produced. If enough peroxynitrate is present your body, your body stops breaking down arginine into NO. So you must quench all the oxides [including peroxynitrate] that are formed from constant Arg supplementation. A couple antioxidants that are good to eliminate these oxides are the 2 most important OPC[Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins], resveratrol and EGCG. A couple more good antioxidants that well help are gamma tocopherol and NAC. Resveratrol also stimulates the production of iNos[inductible Nitric Oxide Synthase]; the enzyme responsible for NO production.

As in
Dermacrine

Sustain Alpha both brake threw topical resveratrol delivery systems. of course there is more in them then just resveratrol but they topical delivery is 100 times stronger then oral.

I am not familiar with Dermacrine Sustain Alpha. The cheapest way to get it is in the form or grape seed extract or Japanese Knot wood. Resveratrol is becoming a popular supplement so I'm sure it is becoming over priced as well but it is still available relatively cheap on the internet.http://www.primordialperformance.com/store/Sustain_Alpha.html?bid=15&partner=eliteneedto

WOW blast from the past post !!! good info though LOVE amino acids!

Or you could take a gram of vit C or eat a grapefruit (even better) with your NO2 supps. Vit C helps prevent nitrate tolerance.
