injectable amino acids

[beefybull]

I thought it was best to keep your arginine and lysine intake at similar levels. Too much arginine can cause cold sores/herpes breakouts in those that are prone and lysine can help cure them. I've also heard a high arginine intake and low lysine intake can lead to increased illness.

Where can one get injectable amino acids ? like they used in the book life extension, swallowing 36 pills a night is getting boring.

Why in the world would you take amino acids in pills??? The body can only use about 20 grams of protein at any one time, the rest is passed thru the body. A protein shake will give you more than that quantity, is infinately easier to swallow, and tastes pretty good. You are fooling yourself if you are taking all this stuff, and you are wasting a lot of money. If you ingest 20+ grams of protein at one time, and it is a complete protein (contains all essential amino acids), your body will do the rest...break it down into amino acids and use the stuff to make new proteins. You have fallen victim to the oldest of scams, right up there with the "latest and greatest European Skin secrets of Countess Lookslikeshit from Luxemborg. The only benefit from these pills is to make the sellers richer.
