Excellent Product, OverpricedApr 08, 2012
By Kevin Smitts
L-Arginine is your classic precursor of nitric oxide which helps maintain blood vessel tone in muscles, ALL muscles ; ) It has greatly enhanced my ability to function sexually and also have give credit to it for better pumps at the gym. It has improved my overall level of health. I haven't had a cold/flu since I begun taking it. Prior to taking it I average 3-5 colds/flu a year. I've been taking it over two years without getting sick once. My energy level has also greatly improved. I think this product needs to be re-priced or at least looked at though. When I can get the same amount also on Amazon for almost half the price, 1KG (2.2 Lbs) L Arginine Bulk Powder....its time to do some price changing guys.

 Nine Months and CountingDec 02, 2011
By stephen pyde
I just finished my third 1 lb container of NOW L-Arginine with no plans to stop. If you sort the reviews here based on product satisfaction other than the unanimous issue regarding "taste" and the occasional problem with shipment issues etc. this is a solid 100% rated 5 STAR product in terms of effectiveness. I realized this nine months ago when I first ordered NOW L-Arginine and figured it had to be very effective if so many people continued to faithfully use sometime that tasted so bad. I never tried mixing it with anything other than a few ounces of water, swirling and swallowing in one quick comfortable gulp (without inhaling any air) for a nearly tasteless experience other than a slight and almost pleasant after-taste of shrimp.
I take two teaspoons every night before bed on an empty stomach. At first I added 1/4 teaspoon of NOW L-Citruline Powder but eventually stopped when I ran out and later read L-Citruline is converted by the body into L-Arginine anyway. After my second pound of L-Arginine I did not notice missing the effects of L-Citruline so I never reordered it again. If anyone besides me has experimented and compared L-Arginine with and without L-Citruline I would like to hear if your experience is any different than mine. Please comment here. I did not notice the L-Citruline made much of a difference in the benefits I was experiencing from L-Arginine.
Eventually I started adding a teaspoon of L-Glutatmine Powder from Source Natural and noticed that this addition made the taste of L-Arginine even less of an issue. L-Glutamine is sweet but tasteless. And still later i started adding my nightly teaspoon of ProBiotics Sodium Ascorbate Powder (4500mg C) into the same two ounces of water with L-Arginine and L-Glutamine. I was surprised that adding additional supplement powders to L-Arginine further reduced any problem with taste. If you're sensitive to the taste I suggest you hold your nose when you swallow and don't breath when you rinse and clean you glass before swallowing a second time so as not to lose a bit of that good stuff that might otherwise be left behind in your glass.
I originally researched and found that L-Arginine is effective at lowering blood pressure when my doctor noticed my blood pressure was slightly high. NOW L-Arginine has been effective at lowering my blood pressure and I was pleasantly surprised by its Viagra effect. I have never had a prescription to Viagra but have tried it a few times over the years and noticed the negative side effects as well as a benefit. But L-Arginine daily is more effective than Viagra because you can take it everyday of your life without the negative side effects and I think this makes it superior to any of the drugs intended for that purpose. The daily dosage cost of NOW L-Arginine is less than 25 cents a day; what a great bargain when you consider the expense and negative side effects of drugs to lower blood pressure and enhance sexual performance.

Exactly as advertisedJan 11, 2010
By N. Rider
It is exactly what it's supposed to be. The container seems a bit oversized though. The powder is a lot cheaper than buying the capsules, and if you mix it with ovaltine it works well. A tablespoon or two will make you feel warm and 'pumped', along with generally seeming to help healing time. Some people get migraines/headaches if they step up the dose too quickly, just keep that in mind.

How to mix better!Dec 08, 2011
By bettermixing
So this l-arginine by now foods is amazing for its price and quantity but I am sure all of you have had problems with the taste. I searched up on the internet and found out from a site someone stating how to make the taste bearable, even in just plain water. The reason is because the arginine does not dissolve well in one single mix. You must stir and then let it settle to the bottom and then stir again and settle about 3 to 4 or more times depending on how many scoops. You will notice that after each stir and settling there is progressively less arginine powder settling to the bottom and the mixture will go from cloudy to clear no matter what cold drink you choose to use. I have just tried it with one scoop of water and stirred and let it settle 4 times until it was completely clear and it was bearable to even sip let alone gulp. So guys try that and see what you think.

Great product....if you dont mind the tasteSep 16, 2010
By J. Castillo
"Juan Castillo"
Lemme start off by saying that the descriptions you
might read fall short of describing the FOUL smell and
awful taste.
Try and remember the WORST taste you`ve had in your mouth
then add to that a smell/taste sort of like rotten meat
and then the bitterness of bile. If you can envision that
taste, that is what you`ll experience when this goes past
your tongue. trust me when I say, there is NO WAY around this.
Like one reviewer said, and what works best for me is take a real small
amount of water, dilute it there...swallow it like a shot and have some
juice handy to wash the flavor down. The after taste wont go away by itself either!
I have literally cried while drinking this. I`ll definitely finish this
but next time I`m buying pills, no matter how much more expensive they turn
out to be.
As for the effects...I can say that as soon as I drink this my ears get
really red and tingly and I sweat profusely during the workout. I guess that means its working.
I take 10mg per day, 1 hour pre-work out and immediately after.
I get diarrhea as soon as I take it. Cannot attest to the
"viagra" like effects since I haven't felt any change in that department.
If you have a strong stomach..take it. I know I wont anymore. I give it 4 stars because
it does work.
