I'm an "old fart", 62 years old. I still pump iron but on a limited basis. The reason I started taking this product is due to the articles and book written by Louis Ignarro, who shared 1/3 of the Nobel Prize for medicine in the latter half of the 20th century. In his book, No More Heart Disease, he identifies nitric oxide, which is produced in the metabolic process of converting L-Arginine to L-Citrulline(part or the ornithine cycle), as the vascular relaxation factor which is instrumental in preventing cardiac problems as one ages. So, all you guys who are trying to utilize this product to get "beefed-up" might be providing yourself an unseen benefit "down the line". By the way, I chase my dose with a small shot of raspberry/cranberry juice cocktail. But the biggest payback againt the "nasty taste" of this substance is to remember not to breathe between swallowing the powder dissolved in water and the chaser of fruit juice etc. Just swallow the arginine and before breathing chase it with your fruit juice cocktail. ENJOY!!!! |
