Does it matter what kind I get or is it all the same... I know GNC sucks but they have two brands... one in the vitamin section and one in the "lifting" section. Also, do you think these two supplements are def. worth it? Thanks.
Hi mjs383,
As far as the arginine goes, it DEFINITELY make a difference in the kind you get.
Not all arginine's are created equal. If it comes in pill or tablet form, don't even bother, you'll just be wasting your money. It is impossible to get enough of the product into a pill or tablet and still have it be effective. The tablet would have to be the size of a waterglass which I doubt very few people could swallow (and certainly wouldn't want to admit it if they could)
In addition to being ineffective, there are also severe side-effects associated with the oral ingestion of arginine. Most arginine products on the market have been thrown together in the past few years by companies without an understanding of arginine bio-chemistry, and these can pose a severe health risks to users.
There is one arginine product, that has been proven safer to use, that I both use & recommend called ProArgi-9.
ProArgi-9 is the ONLY arginine formulation that has been proven to be both safe AND effective. It has been tested on over 250,000 people and is the only arginine formula with a safe history of use. It's also the world's only "Great Tasting" arginine available in Pina Colada & Mixed Berry flavours. (My recommendation would be the Pina Colada)
ProArgi-9 is a product backed by 20+ years of research, and was developed by
Dr. Ann deWees Allen,
<--clickable link the world's foremost authority on arginine. Her formulation has been approved by both the FDA & the FTC to make
15 claims <--clickable link. No other arginine on the market can legally make those claims.

Apparently as of May 16, 2006, all the arginine's have been pulled from the shelves in Canada.
The only one that has not been affected by this advisory is the ProArgi-9 brand.
Hope That Helps,
