Cannot find Arginine locally

[Rob82]

I've been looking locally at different supplement stores and all I can find is the L-form or L-Arginine. I've also found Arginine/Ornithine but noone knows where to find arginine by itself. Some of you guys use arginine so please let me know where it can be bought.

Also, reading up on L-Arginine vs Arginine, can someone tell me a simplified definition between the two?

They are actually the same, just some times they place the L in front of it and others they dont. Now, there is a difference between three forms of Arginine
L-Arginine
ARginine HCL
L-Arginine AKG

The first is the purest of the form and most absorbable and is best for releasing GH. However, the AKG form is the best for pumps and found in NO products. The best would be to get a mix of both and you will see the best results

Thanks BigBench. I was searching through older posts and some people were taking between 2-3 grams of L-Arginine with Creatine before their workout as a form of home made NO drink. If I was to take that much L-Arginine, would I take just the recommended dosage of L-Arginine AKG?

I use the alpha ketoglutarate pre and post workout for vasculation via NOS.
But I use the pyroglutamate pre bed as it s proported to be the best for promoting GH release as it crosses the blood brain barrier.

Arginine pyroglutamate, in addition to having cognitive enhancing effects, is an excellent growth hormone releaser because it is carried more efficiently across the blood- brain barrier than arginine alone. In Italy, this form of the amino acid is used to treat senility, mental retardation, and alcoholism. Arginine pyroglutamate is an arginine molecule combined with a pyroglutamate molecule. L-Arginine alone does not produce cognitive enhancing effects.

You could take 2 grams of each compenent twice a day and then one more of each prior to bed like ACE said to promote GH release of increase the repair activity of the body while sleeping.

hey guys

anyone know where I can find Arginine pyroglutamate online?
also how much do you take?
I'd be interested to use this.
I use arginine before my workouts but thinking of using it after also like ace said.

thanks
