Why L-Citrulline Is Better than L-Arginine for Erectile Dysfunction

[@jimdoyle4345]

[@erniegamboa5609]

I'm 55 years old, 5"10" tall, and weigh 200 lbs. with a 32-inch waist and ripped to the bone. I take 6000 mg or 6 grams of L-Citrulline in my pre-workout almost daily and it works wonders for me in the gym, gives me great pumps and it has helped me with weak erections.. but if you think you can live a sedentary unhealthy lifestyle into middle age and just take these things and all will be well, you are going to be mostly disappointed... Yes low T is a problem for middle-aged men in the U.S. but an inactive, unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle, is in my opinion the main cause of the increase in men that suffer from all types of ED...

[@nancyj795]

Great point: I have often wondered if ED is largely a "poor VO2 max issue" that could largely be solved with improving cardiovascular function. In other words, is it really "aging" or is it living a "middle-aged lifestyle."

[@tomu4725]

​@nancyj795 aging doesn't help but I think people like to blame age for their poor habits. I've seen guys with great physiques in their 60s and 70s. And there's others older than that in great shape, participating in foot races and all sorts of things. Mindset is a lot of it

I am damaged from a surgeon during surgery to remove a stage 3b tumor and most of my rectum and 10 lymph nodes. The surgeon should have offered me the "wait and see" option since I had a complete response with chemo and radiation. The part of the surgery to remove the lymph nodes took away my ability to ejaculate. The rest caused major issues with erections. The surgeon could care less naturally. Still struggling as this has taken a toll on my marriage and mental health but so far L-Citrulline is helping immensely enough to where I've been able to avoid viagra.

A few things I notice that may help is taking the combination of 10mg cialis with 1000mg l arginine, but also very important is to eat and drink healthier! When taking both pills you can drink concord grape juice or watermelon juice, eat whole grain foods like bread, eat a egg, pistachio or walnuts for a snack, and very important dark chocolate. All this combined has helped. Stay away from foods that contribute to ed like bacon, fried foods, sugary drinks.

Best explanation ever. Hey doctor which one is better L Citrulline or Citrulline malate ?

L-Citrulline is combined with malic acid to further increase the absorption rate. Hence Citrulline Malate. They are usually synthesized at a rate of 2:1, 2 parts citrulline to 1 part malic acid. The clinical dose of L-citrulline is 8g.

I read that you should cycle it on for 2 months and off for 2 months for healthy liver and kidney function. Also I read the following too but obviously do your own research as I'm not a doctor... "The results do not support benefits of long-term L-arginine supplementation. It rather accelerates functional decline of kidney and vasculature in aging. Thus, the long-term dietary L-arginine supplementation should be avoided particularly in elderly population."
