I have AAKG powder, but before I ordered it I had already mixed a large batch of Arg/Cit , so I'm going through that. I've used AAKG and it's good stuff. I don't know that I really noticed much difference compared to plain ol arginine, but it certainly works!Originally Posted by cj111

Seeing as you have not noticed much of a difference between the two supplements, this question may be futile; but I will ask it anyway. If you had to choose between micronized arginine and AAKG, which one would you pick?
HRT Specialist ~ AR-Platinum Elite-Hall of Famer ~
arginine is cheaper, so Id go with that

Thanks

Original post updated. Was unable to add Resveratrol because I reached the maximum character limit. But talking to Admn now to see about increasing that, otherwise I'll post it here.

What are your thoughts of Berberine?
Reading about it, seems promising !!
HRT Specialist ~ AR-Platinum Elite-Hall of Famer ~
No idea. I'll read up on it and give my opinion soon. Thanks for bringing it up!

Well a study stated it raises your good cholesterol by 18% and lower your bad by 20%
It's stating you can get off a statin due to the sides and is a great alternative
HRT Specialist ~ AR-Platinum Elite-Hall of Famer ~
Yeah, I've been reading up on it, looks like it's a good thing to keep sugar under control. This might be something I'll consider. I've been looking for something that might help get me off of Metformin. Thanks again.

Cool, it's not to expensive either, I was looking at it.. Could use it while on cycle so your cholesterol doesn't take a huge hit!!

Resveratrol
Let's get an old wives tale out of the way. Resveratrol does not extend your life. This can be found in wine in small amounts and one of the reasons that lots of folks drink a glass or two of wine a day. But again, that's a myth as there is no evidence.
The reason I began supplementing with this drug was to regulate blood flow and to help lower my Arimidex dose. It works in some ways like Chrysin; an OTC AI. However,
To take advantage of better blood flow from this drug you would need to run it in excess of 250mg. This is also a good drug to take if you're having trouble keeping your Triglycerides under 150.
The Decision to Drop Resveratrol from my Protocol
I completely failed to do enough research before taking this drug. It's amazing what indepth research or more studies that are done after you take a drug will present. I think I've been on it since 2010, but only a few days ago decided to drop it after an email I got from a member here.
A study was done that I wasn't aware of that has made me decide to drop Resveratrol. Apparently this drug inhibits mTOR activators. mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) is the system that regulates our cell growth and metabolism.
So what activates mTOR? Amino Acids. But there is one Amino Acid that is the biggest activator... Leucine. As discussed in the recent audio session, Leucine is abundant in our diets and there is no need for mass supplementation as it will go to waste. But what we get from food is plenty to activate mTOR. Personally, I'll take that over the benefits of Resveratrol.
So for me, Resveratrol is out. I have 3 bottles, any takers??
Moral of the story is, if you're supplementing with something for years, it's not bad idea to check for any recent studies and/or changes in its profile.

On a side note, I notice you stated you take albuterol and can't handle the sides of Clen..
I know Clen effects metabolism 25% is albuterol the same?
Sorry for the question!! Cuz Clen sides are harsh after a week I'm drained...

Hey austinite, AnabolicDoc recently posted a link to a thread he started a few months ago in gb's thread "Too many pills" (http://forums.steroid.com/rate-your-...rmone-hgh.html). He and the article suggest taking 5 - 9 grams of arginine. Now I know you have said that 9 grams used to get you sick, but is 5 grams too much too? Does the conversion of citrulline to arginine mean that your recommended doses will also lead to the increase in HGH response that the article talks about?
HRT Specialist ~ AR-Platinum Elite-Hall of Famer ~
Yes, an excerpt was posted in the original post referencing this. 5 grams is not too much, and yes Citrulline will result in the same effects. This is in reference to resting HGH, not to be confused with exercise-induced growth hormone response. In fact, if you workout late in the day, it's a good idea to take Cit or Arg prior to bed because training will actually decrease resting hGH.

Oh damn. I am sorry. I need to re-read this entire thread from time to time because I forget everything that has been talked about. The next time I ask about something that has been discussed just tell me, and I will search for it in the thread. Thanks for clarifying the point about resting and exercise-induced HGH.

I'm currently using 3g cit, 2g arg 3x/day morn, pre-workout, bed. 9g cit, 6gr arg total daily. I'm not too picky though, sometimes I take 3g of each if I feel I need more.

Also note that when I said taking 9 grams wasnt good for me, that means at once. I can handle 15 grams a day, maybe more. So long as it's not in one dose.

Great clarification. I will use the 3 and 4 grams of arginine and citrulline respectively that you recommend; and if I want a bigger effect, I will tweak the dose.
HRT Specialist ~ AR-Platinum Elite-Hall of Famer ~
That's how I did it.
Waiting for admin to extend the dang character count, I have a bunch of goal-specific stacks I want to post.

I thought you were going to start a new thread for each goal like you did with your "Acne Protocol."That's how I did it.

Austinite, do you ever get a b12 shot on top of your daily b12 vitamin intake?
HRT Specialist ~ AR-Platinum Elite-Hall of Famer ~
Yes, as outlined in the protocol in the original post, I inject 1000mcg weekly when I am not cycling. I don't take B12 supplement daily.

My mistake. I had googled "Austinite's amino's" apparently one time when I was looking for this particular thread. That's a little more specific but this thread is #1 on the list with that search lol.

Last question. You included a vascularity protocol in the first post, so what is this thread's protocol specifically for? Energy and vascularity?
HRT Specialist ~ AR-Platinum Elite-Hall of Famer ~
vascularity

If we're voting, I would like to see you post those Hairloss/ Fat Loss/ Depression stacks all separately to keep their discussions easier. You should definitely start all the thread names with "Austinites..."

^ You make an excellent point regarding discussions. Thanks krugerr, something to consider now...
