The theory is that if one increases the building block material, more of the functional chemical will be produced. There are many potental uses for L-Arginine: L-Arginine may promote muscle-building activity in the body by increasing levels of anabolic (growth-promoting) hormones such as insulin and growth hormone. There is much debate over whether L-Arginine promotes the release of growth hormone. L-arginine is the body's chief source for creating Nitric Oxide. Since Nitric Oxide is the chemical that allows the male to have an erection, L-Arginine supplementation is used to treat erectile dysfucntion. Some researchers claim that L-Arginine is as effective as Viagra in some individuals. Another sexual side effect is that L-Arginine may increase sperm count and increase sperm movement (motility).

Rider (Mesa, AZ) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) It is exactly what it's supposed to be. The container seems a bit oversized though. The powder is a lot cheaper than buying the capsules, and if you mix it with ovaltine it works well. A tablespoon or two will make you feel warm and 'pumped', along with generally seeming to help healing time. Some people get migraines/headaches if they step up the dose too quickly, just keep that in mind.

This review is from: NOW Foods L-Arginine Powder, 1-Pound (Health and Beauty) Everyone else here is right. This is a crazy good price but tastes totally awful... I was trying to think of the most potent flavor I could think of to mask the taste of this... Cranberry juice. I'm not talking about some watered down, sugarized, cranberry-flavored juice drink. I'm talking 100% pure, unadulterated cranberry juice. You know... The stuff that's so strong you usually can't drink it straight. I put just enough in the glass so that I can swirl the arginine around without it clumping. Then down the hatch. Works great! I recommend Lakewood Cranberry juice. Then you get the additional health benefits of 100% organic, fresh pressed juice...
