I did that a long time ago. Didn't really see much from it. Also, it started to build up in my system, and at one point it caused me to break out with lots of little red dots all over my skin--not acne, but just tiny red spots.

I thought so, too. They weren't itchy or anything, just little red spots. I stopped taking the arginine, and after a couple of days they disappeared.

Could've been an allergic reaction. That happened to me when I took penicillin. Found out I was allergic to it. Caused me to have red spots all over and felt achey like the flu almost.

I get the same from any sup with arginine as well. Depends on the brand but I get a strange rash like a niacin flush.
Those red dots on the pecker are probably a real turn-on!! lol
I never took alone but used to take with Ornathine. Didn't notice any benefit.
Side Effects
Side Effects of L-Arginine
L-arginine may lower blood pressure because it is involved in the formation of nitric oxide. It may also result in indigestion, nausea, and headache.
L-arginine should not be used following a heart attack. If you have a history of heart disease, consult your doctor before taking L-arginine.
Higher doses of arginine can increase stomach acid, so it may worsen heartburn, ulcers, or digestive upset cause by medications. Arginine appears to increase stomach acid by stimulating the production of gastrin, a hormone that increases stomach acid.
L-arginine may also alter potassium levels, especially in people with liver disease. People with kidney disease and those who take ACE inhibitors or potassium sparing diuretics should not use supplemental L-arginine unless they are under professional supervision. It may also alter the levels of other chemicals and electrolytes in the body, such as chloride, sodium, and phosphate.
Arginine may increase blood sugar levels, so it shouldn't be used by people with diabetes unless under a doctor's supervision.
Pregnant and nursing women and children should not use supplemental
L-arginine, as it's safety has not been established.
People with genital herpes should not take L-arginine because it may aggravate their symptoms.
