L Arginine is used by many body builders as a human growth hormone releasing agent. In doses larger than 10-12 grams a day it produces an increase in H.G.H. production. It is not recommended for people under 22 years of age. Your body has a genetic blueprint which it adheres to, so there is debate whether or not to use something which can change that blueprint. In an article I read printed in the Australian Ultrafit magazine, L Arginine taken to produce optimal H.G.H. production can create levels in a 95-year old man comparable to a 16 year old. L Arginine is also known to induce herpes 1 and 2 and gastro intestinal problems.
