    I usually use some zero calorie juice . Put some juice in my mouth no homo, drop the powder in & swallow. Girls do it all the time, why can't we? Man the hell up.

    ha ha ha!

    see? you thought I was bullshitting when I said it mildly tastes like dead fish!

    Years ago, I was using it as a secretague so 7grams right before bed to help stimulate the pituitary to release GH. Aargh! Let me tell you, that only lasted a few months until I couldn't stand it no more. I'd give, on a 10 scale, I'd give arginine about a 7 overall (10 is absolute worst)

    How much L Arginine are you taking pre-workout? I've upped from 1 gram to 2 grams...big difference. Question...do you have to reach a blood level before it works or is it like an 'on-demand'...i.e., if you don't take it for days, then re-start, you will immediately feel the effects. I bought L-Arginine with L-Cituline combo from GNC and I don't feel the same effect as I did with my other L-Arginine alone supp from Walmart.

    I am definitely sold on L-Arginine....pumps and vascularity...Awesome results

    Is arginine better to take in powder form? I'm taking capsules and only recommended one capsule a day...

    100% agree, except....

    ....when I was taking it, it was 7 grams right before bed.

    I'm not sure how many caps that would be, guessing at least 14?

    Man, I'd be one capsule making maniac!! =)
