If you're a bodybuilder, think twice. If you're a cardio person (runner etc) use sth else
By Nuri K
1)I hate Conspiracy theories, but what follows is not one (you can find similar articles on the Internet if you search, but no SCIENTIFIC article that proves L-Arginine's + effect on regular doses, it's all marketing/placeboed user feedback) the -allegedly- nitric-oxide-metabolism-altering compound in this product, and in many other Nitric Oxide related products dominating the market, is NOT proven to help with body building, unlike, say, Creatine Monohydrate, which IS proven to help (L-Arginine is only proven to help in unrealistically high doses, doses that any human wouldn't be able to consume). So you can never be sure whether it's actually NO-something product you're using or just the placebo effect.2) The product is by far the worst tasting NO-related product (i tried about 5 brands on the market), and the worst tasting sports supplement i ever tasted, even when you mix it with more water than recommended, so be forewarned3) It DOES give you energy, which probably has more to do with the energy-drink kind of components in it , Caffeine, Taurine etc. but it also does give you diarrhea, esp. in the first 1-2 weeks, this a very very common side effect that everyone complains about re L-Arginine, so be forewarned. Having diarrhea is even worse if you're into sports, since you wouldn't wanna dehydrate/lose electrolytes.4) If you're a body-builder, you may still wanna use this product w/o scientific support(If you're already on Kreatine Monohydrate and need sth extra, and don't wanna mess with your hormones) as the brand is reliable and has other cool products. I am still using it, despite having doubts as to its effects. If you're are more into Aerobic and/or fatburning activities like RUNNING (I'm way more experienced in running, so I'm somewhat an authority)this is not the product you should use. Go for the running gels available by many brands on Amazon, they are every bit as helpful for a runner, give you valuable electrolytes etc. since they're designed for runners, and don't give you diarrhea as this product does.Good luck with your workouts.
