View Full Version : What is the most bioavailable form of Arginine?
There seems to be a pretty big price descrepancy between different esters of arginine powders.
Arginine AKG is the most expensive, but is it the most bioavailable? Is this the best bang for your buck for this amino?
Is L-Arginine better for working out purposes? Arginine HCL?
Ive searched online but I can only find advertisements claiming to be the best. Anyone on here have any science to back their opinions up?
Thanks

As far as ive read AAKG is the most advanced form because it is essentially L-arginine but with a disodium salt added or something along those lines. AAKG is nice because the effects from 3grams i find to be what you get from 5g of basic L-arginine. Im not sure what is BEST per say but the most advanced form of arginine and the most concentrated is AAKG to my knowledge. Plus its not that expensive if you buy it by the lb on truesupplements.com.

Anadraulic Pump has it and 2 others and is a nice product, but i think the Geranium Oil has alot to do with its effects.

Kind of what I have been seeing.
AAKG might be a bit more expensive, but you would require less.
