Argenine/Glutamine

Just how much arginine and glutamine should be taken per day to help increase HGH levels?

**jimmyinkedup** · 02-20-2009, 07:25 AM

you can take as much as you want - but im sorry - they will have no beneficial effect on hgh levels.......

Well I know it's not going to be dramatic, but "My guide to HGH" that I just read said you can up levels with arginine and glutamine?

It's connected somehow, in order to get HGH via prescription, most insurance companies demand that you fail 2 arginine stimulation tests. The results below state clearly I failed, yet the doctor still would not say I needed HGH. The MAN always gonna keep a brother down.

PS, in the movie "The Wrestler" with Micky Rourke, he's placing his order with the gym "pharmacologist", and some supplement is mentioned that helps the potency of the HGH, or something like that. But I can't remember what it was. Mickey Rourke made a joke right after that and made me forget.

Im glad u posted this. This is the exact type study bs supp manufacturers refer to when they say argenine stimulates hgh ....did u see the dose? 30 grams administered iv ? gimme a break ...orally it is useless and even at the iv dose it would be virtually useless for our purposes - esp due to short duration of higher levels. The other bunk it that because hgh is actually comprised of amino acid chains - that by orally taking amino acid blends gh can be stimulated - more BS .... Dont believe it - or do and waste you money....

Thanks for the info, definitely just saved me some $$

hey curly20!
get Citruline Malate the price is low and the result is 2x compared from the Arginine.
For the Glutamine get just a good whey ( 100% whey O.N exct ... with high level of Glutamine ). The mix maybe don't help for the level HGH, the construction and recuperation is very helping.

Peace

Arginine is used in combination with GHRH during pituitary stimulation testing.

This is IV arginine NOT oral which makes a great difference. Arg, btw, is used in combination with GHRH because it is responsible for suppressing somatostatin tone to degree, allowing a maximal uninhibited GH response to exo GHRH.

Oral Arginine does not have the same effect as IV. Dosages of oral arg have been used to inhibit SS to a smaller degree in cetain studies, but dosages are no less than 8g.

As far as daily GH release goes, inhibiting SS is not an ideal way to mitigate higher GH AUC.

I was running 3iu of Getropin every day with some sides (numb hands etc)

I then tried 2g of Arginine before bed and 2g of Glutamine first thing in the morning.

A day or so later my sides got 100 times worse. I would wake up at 3am and my hands would be completely numb! I got severe carpel tunnel in my wrists - in fact the sides became unbearable. I stopped using the Arginine and Glutamine and the sides went down considerably.

In my opinion they do boost production of natural hGH (well for me anyway)
I'm 30, so my own natural production is still pretty good.

Pooloss.

There are plenty of new threads. You don't need to bump old threads to get your post count up...

I have been taking Arginine and Ornithine and glutamine pre and post workout for the very reason I have read that it boosts natural levels of GH and all that. BUT, I can honestly say that it has probably given me little to no benefit at all. I'm gonna stop wasting my money on stuff like that. I find it so easy to get sucked into stuff like this. The GH is expensive enough. But, I can honestly say that those supplelments were a waste of money. I take my Multi's, BCAA, Whey Protein, Fish Oil, & Alpha Lipoic. And even the verdict is still out on a few of those.
