Arginine & other "wonder nutrients"

[DerekMB]

Taking arginine as a supplement along with some other things. Been conditioning my body in different ways. Mostly just experimenting a little with the science and getting really into it. Mostly trying to figure out what, if any, limits there are to the/my body. Anyways, here is a brief outline to some benefits of taking arinine, an amino acid, as a supplement:

Precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO)
Stimulation of the release of growth hormone.
Improves immune function
Reduces healing time of injuries (particularly bone)
Quickens repair time of damaged tissue
Reduces risk of heart disease
Increases muscle mass
Reduces adipose tissue body fat
Helps improve insulin sensitivity
Helps decrease blood pressure
Alleviates male infertility, improving sperm production and motility
Increases blood circulation throughout the body, including the sex organs
Improves reproductive ability



In short, I've only been taking a few days now, but already am noticing some pretty cool effects So, was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or comments or might be able to clue me in to some other things/supplements of similar value?


thnx in advance

arginine is awesome, best pre workout supplement as well as improving general health.

Unfortunatley it has been banned in capsule form in Australia so we no longer see its wonders

Looks like we'll have to get arginine from food and our body producing it, then. Why take a capsule when it's in your food anyway? But it doesn't sound dangerous to supplement, so experimenting doesn't hurt.

Why was it banned in Australia? Are all supplements banned there in the land of down under, where women glow and men plunder.
