    Which out of the 3 forms of l-arginine is best absorbed with all the best benefits. Im reading to many different reviews on the net.

    Get it in a micronized form; you will get a significantly higher uptake.

    In fact, any pill you take should be micronized as it absorbs at a higher rate and is less effected by the first pass effect.

    I take it three times a day to keep serum levels constant...before bed (helps with nice morning wood BTW), when I wake and at Noon time the next day.

    I love the stuff!!!

    I take 1500 mg three times a day.

    I also throw is 5 mg of Cialis (Tadalafil) daily and you won't believe the effect..even for women!

    Big pumps, constant heavy vascularity even on off days and days I train it's sick.

    The Cialis basically increase NO2 by suppressing the PDE5i enzyme which is what L-Arginine does as well (can also throw in some L-Cituline on top of this as well for even greater results) but it does it more effectively and has a half life of 16 to 18 hours so it's great in that regard as an on going daily protocol.

    Also, Tadalafil has many other health benefits for men like reducing BPH and having a nice mild effect on lowering BP...not discounting a really nice erection quality and for women...not an erection but the same kind of reaction on you know what as well

    Good info, I've use Cialis as well (20mg) but never in conjunction w/ arginine...I might need to try this combo. Cialis alone (when I'm lean) gives me veins for days! What effects does the cialis have on women? Does your body build up tolerance and the effects diminish with the constant daily low dose of cialis? Reason I ask is I've used cialis in the past and it seemed like the more often I used it the less effect it had which I took as the body building tolerance for it.

    No tolerance issues; this drug was originally designed for lowering BP and for long duration.

    What you experienced may be just in your head.

    Of the three classes of PDE5i's Cialis has the longest half life like 16 hours that's why you see advertised for daily use...the others have much shorter half life in the 4 to 6 hour range...that's why it's a better choice.

    However, of the 3 classes of PDE5i's it's the weakest so there's a trade off.

    For women till will enlarge their clit and make it more sensitive...kid you not.

    I get my Cialis from an online pharmacy and cheap to boot...I can get 60 10 mg tabs for under $60!

    Thanks I was aware of the long half-life of cialis but didn't realize it enlarges and makes a woman's clit more sensitive...that's good stuff. What dose would you recommend for women?

    20 mg on a single event no need for them to go daily.

    Think about it for a moment; the clitorus is similar to the penis in that it gets engorged with blood on sexual arousal.

    If you know how a PDE5i works it only makes sense that same effect will happen for a women...it's well documented as well.

    GDevine! I read all of your comments as you certainly seem to be the most knowledgable and rational guy on this site. We are about the same age. You have commented on my stats before so I won't bore you again. Would you share your supplement regime with us. I take about 12 supplements a day but I do not take L-Arginine or Cialis.. The only NO I get is from Assault PWO each morning ... Thanks for all the great info!

    I hope I don't get in trouble for this but I am in the UK and can recommend an American Company called Amermed I get L arginine caps from them along with lots of other stuff, I usually take Arginine before I go to the gym cos I like looking Veiny!!!

    I have taken niacin at 1000-3000mgs a day and after a few weeks the veins widen, and boosts your hdl. Sometimes it can raise homocycrtein but i never saw that in my bloodwork.

    Quick question...

    Do you take the Cialis and L-Arginine all year around? Or mainly on a cutting cycle?

    Thanks
