L-Arginine or AAKG

[EcToMoRpHiAn]

After looking into buying L-Arginine, I read that AAKG is a far superior form of Arginine to take. The only problem is the price difference, it is about 4x as much for the AAKG. Will the L-Arginine deliver the same pumps? I am planning on mixing it with creatine, so which would be better in my case to buy with limited funds?

I would opt for acetyl l-carnitine, it is a much better and more bioavailable form, with nueroprotective benefits. As for the list of supps, Im not sure if your asking which combo is best. As for timing of the l-carnitine (or preferably ALCAR) 30 minutes prior to workout and immeadatley after

when i posted my phases for some reason it poped up all jumbled together.

this is what i was going to do....

phase 1 take methyl-1, CEE, CNC Multi-Vit., tri amino after my work outs with dextrose, and flx oil at bed

phase 2 same thing but use biotest tribex and take out the CEE creatine

phase 3 put the creatine back, take in 6oxo (they say methyl-1 wont turn into estrogen, bu ti am a little consious. put in HMB before my workout wiht omega 3 6 and 9, and take L-C befor my W/O and PWO, then take L-Arginine in the morning and before my workout, at night HMB-Flax-and ZMA. does HMB really work good?

any suggestions?

HMB is a waste of money.
M 1T does not convert to estrogen.

HMB is simply a broke-down component of leucine i believe.
