BulkSupplements.com L-Arginine Powder - Arginine 1000mg, Arginine Supplement - Nitric Oxide Supplement, Unflavored & Gluten Free, 1000mg per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

Attracted by price I didn't notice that it's a BASE arginine, not arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) which I used to take... Pure Arginine base smells like [I have no publicly-acceptable description, sorry!], omg 0_oThanks to Brad's review for recipe of getting rid of the smell. Citric acid works well, ascorbic acid also, and acid forms of l-carnitine too. If you add them enough smell and taste of base arginine disappears!

Very impressed with the quality of this product. Extremely clean and does the job. Buying the powder in bulk lets me save on the cost while I also get to measure out exactly what I need. For those unfamiliar, L-Arginine has a number of excellent health benefits. It increases HgH (Human Growth Hormone) levels in men by way of a natural amino acid, making it a popular supplement for athletes. It does this by blocking the secretions of growth hormone inhibitor Somatostatin. It also raises insulin and creatine phosphate levels, helping with gains in lean muscle mass and fat loss. One European study had it boosting HgH levels to three times the normal level in one age group.Another way it's proven its cred is with guys with Erectile Dysfunction by increasing vasodilation. For this reason you'll find it in most over the counter stimulants intended to help with ED. It works by relaxing blood vessels, keeping arteries flexible which boosts blood flow. Taken in the right amounts it's also shown to affect a higher sperm count.And because L-Arginine increases NO (Nitric Oxide), which has shown to reverse arterial plaque, this helps in directly preventing cardiovascular disease.Manufacturers recommend a much smaller dose than the documented amounts shown to be effective, which is why I value being able to buy the bulk powder to customize my own measurements. Here's a general guideline for amounts/remedies with L-Arginine:Naturally elevated HgH levels: 3 grams 1 hour before exercise AND directly before going to sleepTo Reduce Blood Pressure: 2 grams 3 times a dayErectile Dysfunction: 6 - 18 grams 45 minutes before sexIncrease Sperm Count: 4 grams Total used throughout the dayHealthy Heart: 6 - 13 grams Total used throughout the dayHealing Wounds: 15 - 18 grams Total used throughout the dayFor me I take 3 grams in the morning pre-workout and 3 grams later in the evening before bed. I've found it really helps with my mood and energy levels, which directly improves my focus and concentration. I'm very happy with finding BulkSupplements on Amazon. Excellent customer service and speedy ship times. I'll definitely be back.

Effective product, inexpensive. You will need a flavored drink or shake to kill the horrible flavor. Smells like chlorine in the back and tastes terrible even in Gatorade or propel

I used to work out a lot, and got out of the swing of things for about two years. I am 6’2 currently 225lbs. I have recently started hitting the gym regularly and started my supplementation routine up again. I am not a professional bodybuilder, more casual, but I do deem certain supplements to be critical in muscle building and repair. I don’t see the point in investing 2 hours a day 4 days a week at the gym if I am not going to supplement my body accordingly. As someone who has been going to the gym since I was 13, I have seen others work out for years and yet somehow their physique never changes or improves. They may get stronger, but their body literally looks the exact same as it did 2-3 years ago. I have also witnessed many steroid users beef up, and deflate, only to be left with ruined joints, acne scars, a roid gut, and a false sense of dignity. This is what I try to avoid, and why I choose natural supplements.I have tried just about every supplement, done extensive research, and taken note of what actually works and what is simply overhyped BS. I recently discovered Bulk Supplements on Amazon. They have offered me a few samples of products and I have agreed to review a few of their products in return.My supplementation includes: Whey Protein, Casein Protein, Creatine, L-Arginine, Citrulline, L-Glutamine, BCAA‘s(2:1:1), Beta Alanine, Green Tea (ECGC), Calcium Citrate, Fish Oil (Omega-3), Zinc, a multi-vitamin, and Magnesium. These are supplements that have been clinically proven to actually work, and fit in with my goals of replacing a light layer of body fat with lean muscle. My goal is not to gain weight and get beefy, but to be lean and mean, yet healthy.Bulk Supplements Company Review: Fast, friendly, GREAT customer service, willing to give free samples to those who use them, have not had any problems at all with this seller.Product Review: I have gotten all of the supplements listed above from Bulk Supplements except for Whey Protein, and my multi-vitamin.The supplements all come in an opaque, silver, Ziploc bag. I have opted to ditch the bags and use other containers as the zip lock on the bag is sometimes uncooperative. Also, if you buy in bulk, and the bag gets low, you have to reach your whole hand in to the bag to scoop out product. Product gets all over your hand and it can get a little messy trying to scoop it right out of these bags. This isn’t a big deal at all to me; it’s just easier to use a different container with a screw on or lock tight lid. You will also want to pick up a measuring spoon set, as most of the supplements are in powdered form and require a specific dosage. You can estimate using a teaspoon only, but a measuring spoon set is fairly cheap.All of the supplements are clean, pure, and exactly what they say they are on the label. You will need to do your own independent research to determine the dosage of what you want to take, because the bags have recommended ranges of dosages, and not specific dosages listed. So, do your research based on your body weight and type, and figure out the dose you need, and when and how often you need to take it!To summarize, Bulk Supplements is an honest, customer friendly company, with good products to match. I have no complaints about anything.
