Of nothing. Despite some studies, taking L-Arginine, my BP lowered so much in since i'm using it ( 8 gr./day ). So, this is pretty strange. I guess, in some folks, it could be works as expected. My BP is lowered almost 8 mmHG, both systolic and dyastolic.

I never understood the fascination with the stuff. Sure, I take it occasionally but only because Walmart sells a decent product for $9. I've tried much pricier options and none have worked better. And "better" isn't saying a whole lot. The pumps while working out are nice but quickly fade and I've never seen any lasting benefits but for $9 I'll pop a few before a workout.

Generally speaking, products that are sold as "supplements" are not studied like drugs, or may not be studied at all. So their their effect is not guranteed.
Ironically, I still take many of these supplements. I guess it's just phycological.

you know? each one is different. this means that while something might work for a person, it might not for another one.
