 Excellent for esophageal crunches October 4, 2009

The pill is large but not necessarily monstrous-appearing. All the more reason to be cautious with it. It's easy enough to break it in two, but I've discovered that even two particles are not sufficiently small to guarantee efficient and effective delivery, even when followed up by the consumption of a quart of water. It'll dissolve over time (close to an hour), providing you can abide the uncomfortable feeling of recording its slow, tactile progress. Be sure to take the pill while standing up, and use warm water for quicker dissolving when it gets stuck. Or better yet, break it into three pieces (minimally), with several minutes between the ingestion of each piece.
If the foregoing proves ineffective, you can always try one of those electrical vibration plates to shake it loose or an anti-gravity machine (both sold on Amazon) to reverse the trajectory of its motion.
Finally, it's possible that what you're feeling is not the pill itself but its leftover irritation, which can deceive the swallower into mistaking it for the swallowed object (you won't know for several days). All the same, I would think it best that anyone planning on taking more than one of these per day might best be advised to check out some other versions (powdered?).
(Small consolation, and not much of an endorsement for the product, but I guarantee that when the "stuck feeling" has finally dissipated, you'll feel better.)
 Great for Workout Endurance May 15, 2009

I had originally bought a 10-packet box of a workout energy drink mix to try, not really knowing much about what was in it. Well, it seemed to work -- every time I drank the stuff before working out, I could easily get an extra 30 minutes in before I had to stop. So I looked at the contents, and among other things it contained 2500mg L-Arginine. After finishing the box and doing some research on L-Arginine, I searched around for a cheaper alternative source (the drink mix was almost $3 per single packet). This is where I landed, and I bought one of these 2-packs to try out. Doing the math in my head, the amount equivalent to the drink mix is about 30-35 cents, or less if you sign up for the auto-ship!!
I now take 3000mg about 30 minutes before I start working out, and I can feel a significant difference. Recovery time is much faster -- no matter how hard I work, once I stop to take a break I feel like I'm ready to start again in no more than a minute or two. I'm also there a lot longer, as I said earlier.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the tablet itself. Personally, I prefer the capsule style, like the Vitamin Shoppe capsules. I think I might stick with those from now on (plus, they're 1250mg each instead of 1000mg). But that's not to say that these aren't great too. It's just a matter of preference for me.
