• People taking blood-pressure medication, nitrates, sildenafil or other medication affecting blood pressure should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using a high-arginine supplement.

Pharmacist’s advice

Pay particular attention to the serving size. The “5000” designation represents the 5,000 mg of A-AKG contained in the whole bottle. The manufacturer’s recommended daily amount is only half a bottle – 40 ml – providing 2,500 mg of A-AKG.

There is no need to automatically combine the shot with an additional arginine or citrulline supplement. Many sports formulas already contain one or more of these amino acids, so check the complete declarations before combining products.

The manufacturer recommends one serving daily but does not require it to be taken immediately before exercise. Following the recommended daily amount is more important than choosing a specific pre-workout timing.

If you have low blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or regularly take medication, discuss high-arginine supplementation with a healthcare professional.
