Arginine
Arginine- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Used for Amount Why Angina2 to 3 grams three times per day

Detailed studies have proven that arginine works by stimulating blood vessel dilation.Congestive Heart Failure5.6 to 15 grams per day with a doctor's supervision [2 stars] The body needs arginine to make nitric oxide, which increases blood flow. This process is impaired in people with CHF. It also has been shown to improve kidney function in people with CHF.Erectile Dysfunction1,670 to 2,800 mg daily [2 stars] Blood vessels need arginine to dilate and form an erection. Supplementing with arginine has been shown to help men with erectile dysfunction in some studies.HIV and AIDS Support and Preservation of Lean Body Mass
(Glutamine, HMB)1.5 grams of HMB, 7 grams of L-glutamine, and 7 grams of L-arginine twice per day [2 stars] The combination of glutamine, arginine, and HMB may prevent loss of lean body mass in people with AIDS-associated wasting.Male Infertility4 grams daily [2 stars] The amino acid arginine is needed to produce sperm. Research shows that several months of L-arginine supplementation increases sperm count, quality, and fertility.Pre- and Post-Surgery Health12.5 to 18.75 grams daily before and after surgery [2 stars] The amino acid arginine has a role in immune function, infection prevention, and tissue repair after injury, including surgery.Sickle Cell Anemia and Pulmonary Hypertension

Arginine given orally and intravenously has been reported to help reduce blood pressure.Wound HealingRefer to label instructions [1 star] Arginine appears to improve wound healing by increasing protein synthesis.The amino acid arginine has several roles in the body, such as assisting in wound healing, helping remove excess ammonia from the body, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone.

I take one-two capsules approximately 30-45 minutes before workout which provides energy and helps get a good pump. If I'm in a hurry or running late I alternate between Rapid Drive Arginine 5000 which four tablets starts working in about 15 minutes. Also, provides great energy and pump.

Comments about GNC Arginine 1000:
I wanted a single dosage of L-Arginine in a relative large dosage and this tablet fits the bill. However, if the tablet is removed from the bottle container and left out for an extended length of time, it disintegrates. As a result the tablet must be taken very soon after removal from the bottle. Otherwise, the dosage and size are very easy to take on a daily basis and the results are great: increased stamina, strength, and vigor. My wife has noticed the difference and is all smiles!

Comments about GNC Arginine 1000:
