Injectible l-arginine

[hackssaw]

okay boys, I've started using an injectable l arginine as a way of adding to my pump and making sure that I get the full amount of my intake into the blood. And it's been going very well, there's a steady release and it's water based and pain free.

I have read great reviews of how orally, L arginine increase growth hormone 300-500%. Which I'm not saying is a lot in the grand scheme, a few iu's of real hgh trumps that.

My question is, would an injectable l arginine give the same effect as oral as long as there was no insulin present? So effectively, it would be on an "empty stomach" either way. I thought about this being a great way to increase the natural surge at night by injecting an hour before bed.

Also, would the sustained release from muscle tissue make the night time pulse last longer and be more effective? Versus the immediate digestion of oral arginine?

Please keep in mind, I'm not factoring in the price difference, just strictly if this is viable or not.

Thanks, you guys have always been plethora of
Knowledge for me.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To describe the effect of an acute bout of exercise on growth hormone responses and to discuss the effect of L-arginine supplementation on growth hormone responses.

RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies have shown that resting growth hormone responses increase with oral ingestion of L-arginine and the dose range is 5-9 g of arginine. Within this range there is a dose-dependent increase and higher doses are not well tolerated. Most studies using oral arginine have shown that arginine alone increases the resting growth hormone levels at least 100%, while exercise can increase growth hormone levels by 300-500%. The combination of oral arginine plus exercise attenuates the growth hormone response, however, and only increases growth hormone levels by around 200% compared to resting levels.

SUMMARY: Exercise is a very potent stimulator of growth hormone release and there is considerable research documenting the dramatic growth hormone rise. At rest oral L-arginine ingestion will enhance the growth hormone response and the combination of arginine plus exercise increases growth hormone, but this increase may be less than seen with exercise alone. This diminished response is seen in both in both younger and older individuals.
