Hey lads,

My arginine and taurine arrived today, along with a 5lb tub of the Carmel Toffee Fudge ON Whey which I am excited to try.

Just wondering how you guys think I should take these. I was thinking of Taurine before and after workout, and arginine before workout, maybe after or another time during the day. Also what doses do you guys think I should take?

I have done some research but I am eager to see what you guys think about it

500mg Taurine after WO & 1000-1500mg Arginine before bed. 500-1000mg Arginine before sex served me well too

^haha funny you should mention that! I take 3000mg of arginine as part of my preworkout concoction. I was going to hit the gym after I drove my girlfriend home so I took all of my **** at home before I drove her. Let's just say she wouldn't let me out the door just quite yet

Highly recommend it! Haha, what a pump!

On offdays take the Taurine first thing in the AM on an empty stomach. Arginine still before bed.

As a general rule of thumb always take free form amino acids on an empty stomach, or with High GL carbs.
