L arginine and the immune system

Common Questions and Answers about L arginine and the immune system

l-arginine

Avatar m tn I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible (quit smoking, drinking and eating healthier). I like taking the L-arginine for the muscle building properties but I am willing to stop taking it if it makes my HPV worse. I also like to eat alot of different foods like chocolate, red meat and yogurt to name a few, which again I have read are very high in L-Arginine.
Avatar f tn I am looking for something to help with the brain fog and increase energy, which L-Arginine is supposed to do. The main problem with some of these supplements is that when they boost immunity, we are actually boosting our symptoms.
Avatar m tn The study entitled, “Metabolic regulation of hepatitis B immunopathology by myeloid-derived suppressor cells,” focused on the reasons why the immune system cannot control hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection once it becomes established in the liver, and the findings could potentially lead to new therapeutic drug targets to treat HBV infections. The study was published in the latest edition of Nature: Medicine....
Avatar n tn Eating nothing at all would probably cause an outbreak, as it would weaken the immune system. Accepting the foods you mentioned contain more arginine theoretically than other foods, still, again, any complete protein would contain arginine and without it we'd die. It is more an imbalance of too much arginine? Especially keeping in mind that arginine is very important for so many other things? I'm just wondering here, have no particular info about this.
Avatar m tn the sequential therapy facilitate the T-cell function to word the Hbsag clearance fast. Does this mean adding L-Arginine to our Nuc's helps more to facilitate to the Hbsag clearance? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I have a question from the opposite angle.. I had been told l- arginine would be of help releasing nitric oxide in the blood to help with male erection/orgasm ..however, that arginine shouldn't be taken by those with hsv1/2 because it can provoke an outbreak. Can you debunk this ? I would love to take arginine if it can help at all !
637910 tn?1454706580 Tried all kinds of sups - what did the trick was l-arginine + taurine + l-carnitine fumarate, 500 mg of each/day. Took about 2 weeks. Been OK for ~ years now.
Avatar n tn because of my anxiety my doctor gave me some viagra. I have read that because of the l-arginine released in the penis during the viagra brings out outbreaks in people. This is why people take Lysene supplements to combat l-arginine in their bodies? no?
Avatar n tn L-Arginine is the best and it also boosts the level of Creatine which helps with weight loss, exercise, and erections and blood pressure. Most of the effective trials though were done with 3 to 7 grams daily. The higher treatment (7 on up) was associated with physical problems mainly liver. But I think some experiments were done with a daily 3 G dose and 5gram dose on days you expected sexual activity &/or 1 hour before activity alongside a yohimbe.
Avatar m tn One doctor I consulted with advised me to keep homocysteine factors and b complex too during peginf, to keep morphology params higher. But don't take Muril during peginf. studyforhope, any comments appreciaded.
Avatar m tn I have sphincter of oddi dysfunction and biliary issues......I have never heard of this! Where did you hear about this?
Avatar m tn When you stated that it is safest not to use both Viagra and L-Arginine, do you mean that I should not use L-Arginine on the days that I use Viagra or do you mean that I should totally discontinue use of L-Arginine because I occasionally take Viagra - i.e. once a week.
Avatar n tn , however the year is 2014, and knowledge regarding L-Arginine (a vasodilator, that increases the interior diameter of the blood vessels, increasing body capacitance) and the safety thereof has been common knowledge for the last fifty years. That being said I think it would always be a good idea to ask your doctor about everything in your life.
Avatar m tn I don't know about L-Arginine and its effects on genital warts. I think the biggest concern with it would be if you had a heart condition. Living a healthy lifestyle is the first step to getting rid of the warts. As far as supplements go, have you looked into Papillex? The ingredients are based on Naturopathic protocols for HPV and has a lot of good ingredients (green tea extract, carotenoids, sulphorophane, astragalus, reishi, selenium, folic acid, vitamin c and e).
1703392 tn?1307450500 Thanks for the great article. I've been taking L arginine for awhile but not real consistent along with mag and calcium. I'll have to get the taurine and try it. I love this forum for the ideas and help we can get from other people.
Avatar m tn the intercourse was brief maybe 2 minutes and i am circumsised. i asked the girl if she was std free and she said yes and according to her she just had a hiv test the month before. i called the clinic in which the bargirls would get tested and although they cannot give a specific person's name due to privacy, they did say that no one has tested positive for hiv in that certain club. so i became paranoid and self prescribed myself with 2g of zithromax for other STD.
Avatar m tn I do and its benefits are amazing. Also check the L-lysine content in foods. The more L-lysine you consume in relation to the L-Arginine you consume, it will greatly lessen the severity of outbreaks. Eat lots of L-lysine foods, and very little L-Arginine foods.
Avatar m tn Somewhere I founded this link, and consulted my doctors who told me that it can't hurt if you try.
Avatar n tn Just keep going with what you are doing. Your body needs up to a year to have an immune system that fights the virus to its optimum.
Avatar n tn L-Arginine and L-Citrulline are quite effective in restoring sexual ability in a certain universe of patients, specifically those with diabetic neuropathy. You need to take at least 2-3 grams of L-Arginine for an effect. Purchase it in quantitities at health food stores.
Avatar f tn I need something intravenous which is able to improve circulation of blood or pacify Nervous system. I have a sensation as blood has stiffed in knee`s, thigh`s and foot`s parts of the leg, but it itches and jerkes.
Avatar n tn Personally, I would suggest you and your husband start regularly consuming L-Lysine supplements and cut back on your intake of foods with L-Arginine. (nuts, beer, red meat, peas, and many more). Secondly for your husband I would suggest he check out products from a company call "Forces of Nature". They have various oils he can put on his lips that help keep outbreaks from happening as well. This stuff is great. I used it all the time.
Avatar n tn I have been taking L-arginine, L-citrulline, along with Alpha Lipoic acid and fish oil to prevent heart disease. My doctor told me to take aspirin. I exercise 4 times per week and have lost 10 lbs. Recently I have been having frequent nosebleeds. I cut back on the dosage of aspirin but still have nose bleeds although not as often. I don't know if the combination of supplements is the cause of the nosebleeds.
Avatar m tn For around the last week I have had an enlarged, hard dorsal vein in my penis which is painful when touched and aroused. It is extremely hard near the head of the penis. I also feel a dull ache and it feels like I can feel my pulse. During intercourse it is extremely painful because it feels like it is pulling the skin tight making it painful. It is not causing me any difficulty to get an erection and I am passing urine fine. Any ideas or suggestions??
