question about L-arginine

[mamsieg]

I just bought some gnc l-arginine. its 1000mg is that enough it says take 1-3 tablets a day if i took 3 thats 3000mg. is that too much?

how much do you weigh?

 

[mamsieg]

205lbs and I am 5'5

well I figure 1 for someone that is under 180 pds(cause thats the average weight of a male), 2 for 180 pds, 3 for 200+? I'm assuming 3 would be good for you. L-arginine is some good stuff, I use it with my pre-workout stack.... I <3 the pump.

supposedly as much as 8 grams is a reported effective dose.

Thanx! Appreciate that

Honestly I used to take Arginine some years ago, and it did nothing for me. Perhaps I didn't take a high enough dose, but I don't think that a higher dose would be worth the money. Really, you'll be getting plenty of amino acids if you're doing proper nutrition.

Maybe though perhaps because I eat well (my mom is a professional dietician so I gained good habits as a kid) I am already at an "optimum" level or something, so Arginine might have benefits for other people. I just know that it didn't do anything for me.

there aint no overdose on l-arg. just take your dose until better effects dont come
