MADE IN THE USA - Health Notes

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.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
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

Comments about GNC L-Arginine 5000:
I take a scoop of GNC L-Arginine 5000 in water before going to the gym and a scoop of it in water when I return back from the gym. I tastes fine to me; it's an orange flavor. I use it to wash down supplement pills also before and after workouts. To me it's not hard to take and I am on my second canister. It also tastes great mixed in with your best liked protein shake.
Pros
- Can take amount wanted
- Easier than pills
- Great for artery spasms
- Tasty
Cons
- Bulks when not wanted
- Has Side Effects
- Needs more flavors
- Weight gain

Comments about GNC L-Arginine 5000:
I began using this product several years ago when I was diagnosed with a rare disease called Prinzmetal Variant. The benefits from the L-arginine is that it helps to dialate my blood vessels. The Prinzmetal causes severe vessel spasms and I constantly have to take Nitro along with a lot of other medicines.
On the down side I have noticed a lot of weight gain since starting this and it seems that whatever I do I bulk up, being a middle aged woman that is not a big goal for me. It would be great if they could modify this to be sugar free, no way could a diabetic take this and I wouldn't with the weight gain if I didn't have to for my disease. Keep this and make a sugar free one too, great one to have to promote the energy to work out without gaining weight from the actual product! Would be a GREAT promotion, especially for women who want to work out but don't want the weight gain/bulk like men.
The taste isn't bad but I don't drink it alone with water, I usually mix it with some Tang or Koolaid. It would be nice to have some other flavors, I tried some once from another company that was pina colada flavored, YUM!Displaying reviews 1-10
