L-Arginine 
Note: is 
conditionally/ 
essential for adults  
 | 
boosts very 
significantly 
immunity!(promotes 
production of more 
and more active and 
effective lymphocytes 
which are crucial for 
immunity. And it 
stimulates the thymus 
gland and improves 
secretion of endocrine 
hormones ergo overal 
a greater resistence 
against infections!) 
fights infection 
is an enhanced 
wound-healer after 
injury and improves 
healing of burns! 
has dramatic 
anti-tumor 
properties(regresses 
cancer, slows down 
it's growth and/or 
decreases it's 
incidence) 
inhibitor of loss of 
muscle tissue after 
injury or surgery 
has a detoxifying 
property(detoxifies 
some harmful 
substances(like 
ammonia) as a 
liver-detoxifying 
agent) 
enhances male 
fertility(enough to 
result in pregnancies) 
 | 
children 
should not 
take 
supplementary 
arginine until 
their 
long-bone 
growth is 
complete(can 
cause, in 
large doses, 
skin and 
bone 
disorders) 
causes 
nausea and 
diarrhea 
when taken 
at very high 
doses(these 
effects 
quickly 
recede when 
doses are 
lowered) 
prolonged 
high doses 
might pose 
some peril to 
those with 
some forms 
of kidney 
and liver 
failure(only 
to be used 
under 
knowledgable 
supervision)
 | 
max. 1 gr. for 
non-adults and those 
with some forms of 
kidney and liver 
failure 
for burns, infection, 
injury and male 
fertility doses are 
unknown. It is better to 
be safe and take not 
more than 1.5 gr. 
Higher dosages better 
to be taken no longer 
than a couple of days 
When a dramatically 
enhanced lymphocyte 
activity is desired 
within just 4 days(for 
example to fight a 
nasty infection/prevent 
infection when 
infection is spreading 
from one person to 
another) then take a 
high doses(10-30 gr.) 
for a max. of one 
week!(better NOT for 
people with a liver 
disorder) Take on an empty 
stomach. Do not take 
combined with other 
amino acids at the 
same time. Arginine 
can be combined 
though with lysine(see 
lysine) at the same 
time
