L-arginine & cialis - safe dosage?

[PeetyPeet]

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere.

35 year old with corporal fibrosis and severe ED, not strictly peyronies. Nocturnal erections are the best thing for me, as it was a lack of these that I believe got me here in the first place.

Currently taking cialis 10mg daily. Have noticed slightly stronger erections if I take L-arginine as well,  but worried the two together will lower blood pressure too far. Anyone have any idea what a safe but effective dose of L-arginine might be when taking cialis regularly like this?

Many thanks

I'd say it was highly unlikely unless you were taking mega amounts. Arginine does dilate the arteries and assist blood flow. How much it actually reduces blood pressure is debateable.

I do a lot of gym work and use Citrulline Malate a precursor of Arginine. I do use arginine too, about 2-3 grams per day.

Thanks for your reply. How much would you consider to be mega amounts?

[Jonbinspain]

Difficult to say. Much would depend on your health, individual physique, etc. personally, I wouldn't take more than 3-4 grams - probably split into 2 doses. But then I've never tried to take more.

Okay great, thank you.

Probably best to buy it in powder form, it's far cheaper. It dissolves easily in water. I usually mix Citrulline malate & ALC together in a glass of water. About a teaspoon of each. You could add a teaspoon of Arginine to that. It's a matter of finding what works for you personally.

Thanks again. I'll consider powder form when I next need to restock. Currently taking 'Nature's Best' Easy absorption L-Arginine HCI 1000mg tablets x3 just before bedtime. Noticeably, if not dramatically, enhances potency of cialis and no low blood pressure symptoms or other side effects so far.
