2:20 The cons of l-arginine
Today I want to cover the ten amazing benefits of l-arginine. L-arginine is an amino acid that has the ability to release nitric oxide.
Benefits of l-arginine:
1. It relaxes the arteries
2. It decreases free radicals
3. It decreases LDL cholesterol oxidation
4. It’s an anticoagulant
5. It can help with erectile dysfunction
6. It helps the immune system
7. It increases blood flow through the brain
8. It increases blood flow through the lungs
9. It helps relax sphincters
10. It can increase growth hormone
If you decide to take an l-arginine supplement, it may be beneficial to take 3g two times a day on an empty stomach. In addition to this, you may also want to try consuming beets. Beets are very high in nitrates, which can activate nitric oxide. Beets are also high in boron, which has great benefits.
The cons of l-arginine:
If you already have herpes in your body, too much l-arginine can reactivate the virus and bring it back out.

My old kittie was diagnosed with kidney failure years ago. I found from researching that l arginine can benefit kidney issues, so I gave it to him daily. It worked. It at least stopped his kidney failure and possibly reversed it. When he finally died at 21 yrs old, it was not from his kidneys.

[@peter-peter5929]

I take L-arginine with great faith because of how it has helped me. 13 years ago, I had AFib, high cholesterol, low energy, and low drive all at the same time. I researched and and consulted with my doctor because I did not want to go on medications just yet. After about 4 weeks, I felt an incredible difference. After 3 months, I had blood work done and my total cholesterol had dropped from 287 to 191. Not the best, but it was a big difference.

If you are taking HBP medications, speak with your doctor as the combination will drop your pressure too much so your medicine dosage might have to be reduced(Which is a good thing). •Not allowing myself to get dehydrated. • Easy on red meat. I would never say that you should not eat it, but don't down a 16 oz steak in one sitting. Break it up throughout the day or 2. Making your heart work extra hard to break down excessive red meat will trigger an AFib episode. I've never had an issue eating lots of fish, chicken or lean pork. I'm terms of diet in general, don't eat until your stuffed. Drink a glass of water before your meal and you'll eat less, but with more frequency throughout the day.

I can personally attest to the cons of taking L-Arginine. Back in 2008, I had read about all the benefits of it, and there really weren't any cons listed, so I took it. I did not overdose, but I took it consistently. I can't say I noticed any good benefits, but within a month of starting to take it, I got a horrific case of shingles. The doctor I spoke to at the time said L-Arginine had nothing to do with it, that I got shingles due to stress. I was pretty certain that wasn't the cause, but what could I do at that point? I did read about L-Lysine, so I started on it within a month of the shingles outbreak, but by then, the damage was done. It took a whole year for the pain to go away. By the way, doc, you are the first physician I have heard that admitted this supplement could cause shingles. Good job.

Read the book ‘Dirty Genes’ by Dr Ben Lynch. Arginine & nitric oxide are not that simple. There is another thing (i forgot what it is, it’s in the book) that is needed together with arginine to make nitric oxide. & if one has certain illnesses, taking more arginine won’t be helpful as instead of producing nitric oxide, the body produced superoxide which is harmful to health.

L-Arginine, as you pointed out has a very short half-life whereas L-Citruline tends to stay active longer.

Why do some studies seem to suggest that l arginine deprivation may be a way to treat cancer.

[@Handle413]

Hello! Dr. I was wondering if you can touch on what’s gud for Multiple Sclerosis??? Also known as MS. Greatly appreciated.

[@C...G...]

hello, check out his other videos, he's produced one or two already explaining what is good for ms.

[@JonathanOvnat]

Also check the work of Terry walsh who cured herself and many others from MS. Also look up "LDN".

How many grams do you take? I just started taking 1 gram Tablets as recommended on the bottle. Is that enough? Dr Berg says 3 grams 2 times a day.

I learned that the hard way. I've had herpes simplex before and took L-Arginine. It brought back Herpes simple and zoster at the same time. I had blamed stress, but really was this.

[@prenom8793]

This and one of its consequences

[@rafataziz401]

Hi Doc, Can u plz elaborate on how much is too much? I want to start a supplement for my son to boost his height. The supplement contains 500 mg of l arginine. He is 16 yrs old.

[@Keep-on-ok]

Have him drink organic or raw milk. My brother was 5’7” when he graduated from high school. During the next 5 years, he grew to 6’4”. He drank lots of milk!

I use this and have good resaults and at 74 I'm really impressed BUT i was hoping my brain would function better, Gingko biloba has helped in the past but I'm really worried about my concentration. Low carb has been good in many areas but my concentration.

[@samiamohamed8255]

Is this useful for children?

[@RubberWilbur]

Dr is L-Arginine the same thing as arginex or arginine that Stardard Process offers?

[@Drberg]

Yes.

[@MuhammadWali-ik9vi]

Is it possible to get shingles more than once? Is L-Arginine supplement worth the risk?

[@thegeraldinekuss]

Can I take L Arginine & Glutamine while fasting? Will they break the fast? I'm doing a 7 day fast & taking Nac with Glicine before bed.

[@saraswatkin9226]

Thanks for sharing another gift of a gem.

@drberg will l-arginine breaks the fast? Answer please, thank you

[@maheshtanay]

May be yes... Arginine produce energy..

[@gk9417]

What’s better arginine or citurline 🤷🏼‍♂️✌️🙏🇨🇦

[@MrCalz86]

Wish my doctor's recommended suppiments rather than giving out prescription that have several side effects and don't actually benefit . Eg I suffer with stress just prescribed depressants . Horrible side effect to point had to come off. Gonna try this one as family history in high blood pressure which stress plays a factor.

[@Me-sm7jm]

Hey Doc- been following your keto advice for years- learned so much. I’m sitting on a large supply of beetroot powder I purchased from brand “Bulk Supplements” - I can’t find any info online about beetroot powder while on keto- Trying to figure if it’s gonna cause a crazy insulin spike.

[@luffebassen]

Consuming regular Whey protein should also provide your with plenty of this stuff I would assume??

[@Combat_Pyro]

If you’re eating enough protein and you take 5g of citrulline per day your body will make all the arginine it needs. Arginine is NOT and ESSENTIAL Amino Acid for this reason. Your body makes it. Now if you’re older and not eating enough protein it will be harder to make enough. Just eat meat and take citrulline and most people will have plenty

[@ramakrishna-lr4uv]

L-citrulline or l-arginine, what should I take? Which one is better?

[@dremilianotuero3170]

Both

[@davidgodley521]

I'm now 69. I've started using the powder form. It mixes with water. I'm also using beets. It's in tablet form.
