Well for what its worth I think Ive had a reaction to the Arginine.Took 500 mg's last night...worked out for a hour and woke up this morning with a serious rash.Eyes red,red splotches on face.misc spots itching over torso,etc.Took with a minor cold...which may have been a mistake.

Hey Spicoli, sorry, I've not been on in quite a while.

Arginine is a great supplement, but it can be pretty harsh on the dermal layer. You really need to be perfectly hydrated to avoid spots etc.

It gives you a nice little kick when you're lifting, particularly if taken blended with creatine or a stimulant like tyrosine, but there's a real comedown.
I think that if you're using an ordinary daily ginseng supplements you should be just fine, but using some of the harsher energy enhancers can resulted in loss of sleep and racing of the heart.

500mgs sounds a little heavy to me dude

Thanks Donny.Cannot say it was the cause 100% but quite the kick in the azz,this morning my eyes resembled Golotas in the Mollo fight....nasty.The hydration point is key and dont feel that I was.Got a pred injection this A.M and all is coming back into form...burning and reddening reduced.Cheers

Hey Spicoli, I take 1.8 grams of Arginine every morning with Taurine. I've had no problems with it. Arginine is an amino acid and one of the most researched supplements on the market. I've also tried Ginseng pills before, and I didn't notice a difference while taking it.
