High-potency boost for circulatory health
Helps the body produce nitric oxide for healthy blood pressure
Great-tasting lemon flavor

Get a high-potency amino acid boost for circulatory health and more with Swanson Premium Brand Arginine AKG Powder! The amino acid L-arginine is involved in many vital processes in the body, from detoxification to energy production, but it is in circulatory health where it has its greatest impact. L-arginine is a key player in the body's production of nitric oxide, a compound that helps keep blood vessels dilated to promote blood flow and help maintain blood pressure already within a normal range. This makes L-arginine beneficial for overall cardiovascular maintenance and in areas such as sexual function that depend largely on circulatory status. Our Arginine AKG Powder delivers a super-potent 5 grams per serving--a much higher dosage than other forms. It features a delicious natural lemon flavor and dissolves readily in water to create a great-tasting nutritional drink.

Title:Amazing Flavor

Date:January 11, 2012

"If you have ever taken pure arginine free base powder before, you know that its taste is beyond awful. That's what make the flavor of this Swanson product so amazing. Mixed with a little Dole orange/peach/mango juice, I don't even taste the arginine. Wow!

I didn't give 5 stars because I just received the product today, and haven't had time to evaluate its effectiveness. If it does what I hope it'll do, I'll update the rating to 5. But the taste is definitely a winner. That's going to definitely help me continue taking it on a regular basis."

Title:Tastes Great!

Date:March 13, 2011

"My husband takes Arginine and prefers the Swanson brand over any other because he says it tastes great. Once I got him a different brand, that was unflavored, and he hated it. He begged me to get the Swanson brand again.

We try to take our supplements in liquid or powder form whenever we find them available because we hear they are absorbed better and they don't contain any harmful fillers used in pills and capsules.

If you need to take Arginine powder, this is a great tasting and reasonably priced product."

Title:tasty, a little bit sour

Date:March 10, 2011

"I have purchased dozens and I will order again. I have a few sugestions: do not mind those telling that it is too sweet.

It is not too sweet - it's ok, in fact it is a little too sour. I am mixing it with water and I let it rest about 30 minutes before I drink it and it fully disolves. If it woud not be fully disolved it woud be ok but when fully disolved it's a little sour.

Also, there is a problem with the seals of the last batch: they are rusted on the margins, on the inside, the metal surface has brown rust - I found it because I like to lick the seal foil after I open a new bottle.

I am using it for the HGH, at night and I find it to be good. I take one bottle and one week off and another bottle and so on.

All in all it's a great product to have and to use!"

Interesting at first, but you get used to it. A cap-full gets you a quick 5 grams... much better than downing 5 huge 1-gram pills that can lodge in your throat."

Title:Works great!

Date:December 26, 2010

"I've had good results so far after about a month of using this. I use less than the recommended daily amount, I thought it might be too much to start with 10-15 total grams, I'm using about 3-4 grams twice a day but will try increasing my total to 5 grams twice a day. I wanted to make sure I didn't get sick from using it so I started out with a lower amount.
I tried the powder as is with water and it was terrible, it's overly sweet with an artificial taste to it, so then I thought I would try it with plain yogurt thinking it would be like lemon flavored sweetened yogurt and that was a really bad idea, it tasted awful. So finally I tried adding some lemon juice to the water along with the AKG powder and it tasted like........Lemonade! It was AWESOME! The tartness or bitterness of the lemon juice was offset by the overly sweet AKG powder, I think it's a good combination to try.
In regard to effectiveness, after a couple weeks I noticed I was able to do a few extra reps, like going from 13-14 pullups at best to 17-18 pullups/chinups and I've increased a few pounds of weight for curls and bench press, which tells me that it must be the AKG that's helping me to get stronger because I didn't change anything else about my diet. I'm a hard-gainer, I only weigh about 150 lbs but I can see that I'm starting to get more bulk in my arms and shoulder area. I have seen this happen in just 4 weeks and I've been able to gain a couple lbs since I started using it. I take protein powder as well but I don't take the two at the same time. I take the AKG about 15-30 minutes before I work out and the protein powder after my workout. I also take the AKG powder just before breakfast.
I'm sure the protein powder helps as well but I believe it's the AKG powder that is helping me the most to get desired results. I wasn't getting obvious results before with just the protein powder. Maybe it's all in my mind, I want to believe that it's working but it's actually just a placebo effect. Regardless, I have to say this supplement is worth a try, I am seeing some good results."

Title:Best A-AKG Around

Date:September 27, 2010

"This arginine AKG powder is effective and saves me money. I am highly skeptical of bodybuilding supplements as they are often higher on hype then substance. But, this A-AKG has the lowest cost per serving of any I've tried and produces consistently great results, The only gripe I have is a rather picky one. The scoop provided is really too short for the container. But, I do like the fact it's in powder form. Makes it much faster acting. Almost immediate pumps. Great before and after a workout.

You can throw your money at the mall stores or you can buy this A-AKG powder from Swanson. Same product, same results, less money."

Title:Great pump.

Date:July 5, 2010

"I personally take Arginine to get a good pump while working out so that nutrient rich blood can get deeper delivery to the muscle. That way my muscle will adapt more efficiently to suit my workout goals. I have tried almost every Arginine, N.O. product you can think of. Swanson's does the same as everyone else' and it's a lot cheaper. Great product."
