It's not what you need. I don't believe in sups, but we won't go there. But to get bigger faster (everyones desire) arginine is not the magic cure. Don't waste your money.

Vengence please so not be so degrading to the site that you registered to be a part of.

Arginine is used as supplement in its own right in the clinical setting, and is added to some specialist intensive care feeds for post trauma patients, and has been shown to enhance wound healing, regulate hormone activity and potentate immune activity (Heys, 1999; Efron 2000).

All these parameters are applicable to bodybuilding.

In the 1980s bodybuilders used arginine supplements, as a scientific study indicated that large doses of arginine increases growth hormone secretion.Since then arginine has bee shown to have no effect on this parameter.

As arginine has an important role in feeding the critically ill patient, I feel it may have a bodybuilding application in its own right. More research of arginine’s effects on muscle growth and athletic performance are needed, in the meantime, consume a high quality, varied protein diet.

arganine will increase your blood flow and give u pumps that last for longer and u will generally b pumped more than usual most of the time.

I found it motivating in the gym to watch myself grow. Wont increase performance.

I would suggest u read the label, there probably isnt enough in there, it takes about 4-6 weeks to see good results on it.

If u are vainy already u might not wanna use it as they will really stick out.

Hope this helps

It took me a while to realize to this, BUT EAT and SLEEP. That's how you get big. Don't be afraid to get a little fat, just eat the right foods and a lot of the, and you will get bigger.
