Is L-Arginine the key to Stronger and Longer Lasting Erections?

Balance between L-Arginine (2 500mg) and L-Citruline (2 500mg) 1000mg of each twice a day. Planning an "activity" 20mg Sildenafil "booster." Age 69, no other health issue, no other medication - non athletic, but moderately "toned." I could lose some weight.

Sounds like you've got a thoughtful approach in balancing L-Arginine and L-Citrulline, and it's great that you're being proactive about your health! Combining it with Sildenafil as a 'booster' makes sense for many, especially when carefully monitored. Maybe adding some light exercise could further support your goals, especially since you mentioned being moderately toned. Even small changes can make a difference! Best of luck with your routine, and thanks for sharing your experience.

I experienced a few benefits from L-Arginine aside from stronger erections, which was great for those, too. L-Arginine will also reduce angina and high blood pressure in otherwise healthy people, allowing for better exercise.

[@tebmedtourism]

That's awesome to hear! It’s great that L-Arginine has given you benefits beyond just stronger erections. The fact that it helps with angina and blood pressure while boosting exercise performance is definitely a win-win.

I tried L arginine and got a gout attack [it increases urea which then raises uric acid and subsequent gout]. L citrulline is probably the better pathway for nitric oxide production.

[@mikebyford5258]

The L citrulline trial you described is technically and double blind crossover trial and is in my opinion as a researcher one of the best ways of running human trials as ALL participants are given chance to try the "ingredient" and get benefit IF it works whereas a normal double blind trial means 1/2 the participants never get to try the active ingredient which seems to me to be morally flawed . I was a subject in a double blind crossover trial and could actually tell which was placebo and told the Researcher in control and after the trial was over they confirmed that I was correct. This product is now on the market . To me far fairer on volunteers in studies and also getting a more balanced demographic as you are comparing like with like . Keep up the good work on you tube !

Yes. I make a smoothie that I call, "Erection Smoothie." In a big blender pitcher add 1/2 cup of a dark juice, like pomegranate, or tart cherry juice (something with no added sugar), one diced beet root. Then I add blackberries, next blend this on high. After this, I add 2 tablespoons of cinnamon to kill the beet taste, some raspberries, then blueberries. Blend again and drink. The dye in the berries and beetroot has a compound called anthocyanin which has health benefits and nitric oxide which open blood vessels. So, this smoothie is also good for the circulatory system.

I'm 72 years old. My research showed that oral L Arginine is metabolized by the body before it can get to work. The two substances work together to produce nitrous oxide. I started with L Citrulline alone as the research said your naturally produced L Arginine should still be present in your body. I started on day 1 with a double dose and within 2 hours, felt that familiar tingling in my nether regions. Within 2-3 days, my partial ED was cured. At month 2, I reduced the dosage to the recommended amount. I have not needed L Arginine. I always track my BP and over several months, noticed the BP was definitely going downward and has stayed down. Weight lifters, long distance runners, and diabetics take L Citrulline and I believe it is one of those supplements that has many benefits beside the obvious.

Vascular surgeons did not help. Wound care did not help. Cardiologists did not help. Physical therapists did not help. All anyone would tell me is to wrap up my legs to force the fluid out. I did a lot of research and I found an article that talked about l-arginine improving circulation. I started taking it daily and it worked. My legs went down to normal size. All of the medical professions I had seen were wrong. The hell of it is they will not listen to me when I tell them what worked for me. They treat me like I am an idiot.
