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.
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 !
Supplement your diet with high quanties of L-Lysine and reduce your intake of L-Arginine. Foods high in L-Arginine include nuts, grains, beer, chocolate, peas, coffee, and so forth. Reduce sugar intake and avoid caffeine like the plague. Also, try to remain out of the sun. All of these "triggers" can make herpes worse. There are other supplements you can consider like Red Marine Algea and Olive Leaf Extract.
Watermelon is one of the richest natural sources of L-citrulline, an amino acid that can help make your erection harder. Once it’s in the body, it converts to L-arginine, stimulating the production of nitric oxide, which increases blood flow to the penis, strengthening erections.
Ginger can improve your sex life by aiding blood flow and improving artery health.
All the searches I have done related to this inform me of a diet high in L-Lysine and low in L-Arginine to help treat herpes, which I do not have. I am currently undergoing cryotherapy for my breakouts because the Aldera cream irritates me too much. 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).
and adhere to the ICA diet that eliminated caffeine, acidic foods, spicy foods, tomatoes etc. L-Arginine was proven ineffective in IC but some people feel it works. In tems of preseciption agents, I usually start everyone out on a low dose of Elavil 10mg then increase slowly to 25-75mg as tolerated. Some patients respond to Atarax and others to Elmiron. You should find all there meds on the website.
Some studies suggest that getting three grams a day could make for better erections. Many foods high in good-for-you omega 3s are also high in L-Arginine, such as free-range game, seafood, walnuts, and sesame seeds. Plus, omega 3s help your body better absorb L-Arginine, according to a study in Nutrition & Metabolism.
I truly believe it is the deficiencies causing a lot of our problems. That being said, I remember trying taurine and L-arginine years ago with no success. Possibly I didn't take it enough. I think I will check out which foods have this. Maybe I'm eating a bunch right now cuz my heart has been behaving again.
Although some studies suggest that L-arginine may benefit certain health conditions, other research shows that L-arginine may have harmful effects on some individuals.
A large body of data suggests that NO actually promotes tumor progression.
L Citrulline, like arginine, it can convert into nitric oxide NO.
Be careful!!
Yes. L-Arg\inine is used therapeutically up to 15 grams a day. It is a systemic vasodilator and opens up microcirculation, which increases body capacitance and reduces blood pressure. Excellent for diabetic neuropathy as well. Many people take it four or five times per day in small doses. Purchase the L-Arginine in quantity (at health food stores), rather than in capsules and you will save a lot of money.
I read somewhere that almonds can somehow trigger an outbreak. I was eating a handful of almonds everyday for the health benefits. Could this have caused the OB? I read somewhere else that taking Lysine can counter the arginine in almonds. Is it safe to take Lysine along with my Valacyclovir? Would it help anything? Or should I give up almonds? Thanks for any helpful advice.
Do not take Arginine unless under supervision of your medical doctor. Do not take Arginine if you have Genital Herpes or if you are using lysine supplements.
