Can L arginine Boost Your Sexual Performance? | Urologist explains

L-arginine is an amino acid that helps make proteins. It also becomes the gas nitric oxide (NO) in the body. NO is important for erectile function because it helps blood vessels relax, so more oxygen-rich blood can circulate through your arteries. Healthy blood flow to the arteries of the penis is essential for normal erectile function.

I have been using L-Arginine and L-Citrulline for more than a decade. We know a few things about Nitric Oxide that are not mentioned in this video: 1) combination with L-Citrulline will work better 2) utilising both pathways of Nitric Oxide production will optimise the NO levels: Arginine- NO synthase pathway and Nitrates-Nitrites pathway 3)Both the male and the female level of NO will have to be elevated for optimal sexual functions and performance.

I originally started taking this supplement for improved weight training. I found that not only did it help my performance in the gym, but it also helped with erectile hardness. that was over 20 years ago. I've never needed more than 3 grams in a day to feel results. usually take it with a meal. I'm truly surprised more men with ED don't know about this supplement... it's super cheap and sold anywhere that has supplements.

@@BobRoss-wm3lc from my experience it makes your junk harder, sometimes hard as a rock, not always that hard tho. Its relevant to your mood, the woman, and how long since the last rendezvous. To last longer you need to practice a technique which I cant recall the name of it. This technique can program your brain for prolonged & intense ejaculation. For me I have my ejaculation up to 1 hour with sexual activity or on command like when a woman wants me to ejaculate, no lie. Most women i've been with like the half hour and up to one hour coital duration.

If not given, they tend to desaturate their oxygen and bradycardia & sadly, ultimately crash. 😥 After the dose, many growing preemies developed an erection.

Works amazing for blood pressure too

Dr Malik is Really Cute 🥰. And her videos are informative also of course 😉.

When you say its quickly metabolized by the body, does this mean there's an immediate effect (i.e within hour or two) on aiding getting an erection (like Viagra does)?

[@ericg808]

I take l citrulline an hour before sex and it kicks in 30mins earlier. It's good for 4-5hrs. I don't take l arginine.

I've been on and off of this for years. I swear soreness after workouts and running goes away faster. And I can run further.

I was taking this for a while with my gym workouts but I read that increased amounts of L arginine can promote cancer so I stopped. I do take the L citrulline once and while and it give you increased energy.

[@knightstar1312]

Actually wrong that arginine promotes cancer. Lab stats prove arginine can remove cancer and boost immune system that fights viral type cancers. Just stay below the threshold and use it in cycles, ex: 3months on 3months off.

[@John-iq7ry]

I take l-arginine for general health reasons. Biggest effect I’ve noticed is that it makes it easier to draw blood which used to be difficult for me.

[@af1966]

How many grams per day do you take?

QQQ @Rena Malik, M.D. or anybody engaged in the biological sciences: 1) If only HDL is increased, then, what is wrong with that? 2) Since L-Arginine is not targeting specifically PGE5, wouldn't that imply more NO for the whole body? In such a case wouldn't it be beneficial to those taking antioxidant supplementation, which isn't yet a scientifically established method for extending health/lifespan? With a major flaw of such a treatment been theorized to be the reduction of NO? 3) If 2 L-Arginine + 3 NADPH + 3 H+ + 4 O2 ⇌ 2 L-Citrulline +2 NO + 4 H2O + 3 NADP+ holds, then by supplementing citrulline, aren't we pushing backwards the equation, actually losing NO? Thank you

[@pasco1337]

Yes it works but I get night sweat when taking arginine or citrulline so I don't use it in a regular base. What works better for me is just eating pancakes 🥞 made in oilive oil and with Marple syrup. Tastes awesome 😋 I think it's the flavanols in the plant based products what makes the blood thinner. I could be wrong.

[@viswanaathv.s.220]

Rena, thank you for this very informative video. I read sometime back that L Arginine is effective only when mixed with saliva. Meaning only when Arginine is taken orally and mixed well with Saliva it is more effective. Is there any study supporting that. Pls let me know. Thanks again

[@johnlangley7521]

I think saliva helps with Nitric Oxide production when consuming leafy greens like spinach, this is why you want to avoid mouth wash, it destroys the bacteria in your mouth that break down foods

[@viswanaathv.s.220]

What was the reply. Not able to see that. Pls repost if possible

I noticed, that when I eat a lot of meat (around major holidays mostly), my libido is increasing. It's probably because of excessive protein consuming.

I used to buy a vitamin pack from a supplement store(GNC) when I used to lift weights. 1 of the 8 pills a day was for "male health" . I have never had any trouble in my life with this kind of issue but it was just included in the pack. The result was insane. You were almost halfway ready all day long everyday. I literally had to stop taking it because it was too much. Not sure what was in the supplement but holy it was strong.

[@usaman7358]

Find out please! Inquiring minds want to know. ;)

[@knightstar1312]

It may have been strong for you, but I'm sure it was produced for the average males.

[@hannaishak7206]

what was that please

[@DSLACA]

You're not lying I remember those GNC packs. Animal use to have a good one too.

[@youngprophet8428]

Hey Dr. I was told I have H. pylori in my stool and E. Coli in my urinary tract and they want me to take Levofloxacin but that antibiotic causes liver failure. I never picked it up! I’ve also been having foamy urine for a year now but no protein was found in my urine culture. I also did an Kidney ultrasound and it was normal. Now They Want Me To Get Doxycycline Monohydrate but that’s for skin infections in which I don’t have. I have had terrible luck with doctors and I’m hesitant. What should I do? On Sunday I had burning sensation while urinating a minor blood but that went away on its own yesterday and pain on my right leg under my calf. I’m only 33 years old! What do you suggest I take? God bless you

[@davidsquall351]

stop eating processed foods and drink more water.

[@1dayfree]

Look into a low oxalate diet or at least cut down on things like spinach and almonds if you are making smoothies. Oxalates are plants natural anti-parasite defense and make crystals like glass splinters that can cause bladder infections.

If you have high blood pressure and taking hbp medication is taking L-Arginine & L- Citruline safe? If so, how much should one take?

[@geno5169]

I did just buy L-arginine and zinc I heard l-arginine is good for our blood flow!

Listening to Rena gets me going

[@robwatson4666]

Given the increased risk of cold sore outbreaks, should L Arginine be taken with a smaller does of L Lysine?

[@NateFitzgerald1984]

Yes, that's what I do, 2000mg -3000mg of Lysine and 2000mg of Argenine
