    Dunno why you're looking for it but looking at the ingredients here it looks like it would be cheaper to buy L-arginine and a multi-vit?

    +1. Very expensive for what's in it. L-arginine tablet washed down with orange juice would be as beneficial. What's the science behind L-arginine anyway is you diet deficient in it?

    My father in law swears by it and mentioned increased energy levels so I thought I'd give it a go, a quick google describes it as the miracle molecule :D
    I take the pharmaton and berocca already and amn't convinced so I'm up for finding sth else.

    Found these earlier
    http://hubpages.com/hub/Nitric-Oxide-Benefits
    http://tedheims.com/ and I was reading earlier but can't find the link now that in the states apparently if you take it you get a decrease in your health insurance payments.



    It's hard to distinguish between the sales hype and the real science so looking for links regarding the proargi 9 in particular the negative.

    Nope, just got the one tin, lasted a couple of weeks, nice taste, turns a cool colour but did nothing and is expensive.

    Someone I know taking it said their circulation improved, as in they noticed their hands/feet less cold and that was during the cold spell in Dec. I guess if youre any way fit you dont have that prob to begin with? I do and would love to think I could get rid of the cold hands, plays havoc working on a PC all day with a mouse.
    Maybe Ill give a month a go and see. Thx for your reply!

    Well conducting my own TOTALLY INDEPENDENT trail, on it 2 weeks an so far no physical differences what so ever. I very much want this to help circulation and prevent cold hands and feet etc, and will be undergoing full bloods to compare last LDL and HDL counts in about 2 months time. So far a little disappointed.

    OK Independent ProArgi9 tests now complete! Verrrrrry disappointed.
    Cholesterol up by almost 2 points in substituting Lipitor with ProArgi9 for last 3 months. Really wanted this to work for some many reasons but was not to be it seems.
    LDL up by almost 1.5, zero change in diet and in fact started reg exercise last 3 months, so looks like Im stuck with Pfizer for the foreseeable future.
    Anyone else tried this?
    I wont be buying any more and to be honest am of the personal opinion the advertising around ProArgi9's success should be questioned and tested by far more individuals like me. Hope this is of help to anyone else considering it.

    "L-arginine is used to make the nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. Preliminary studies have found that L-arginine may help with conditions that improve when blood vessels are relaxed (called vasodilation), such as atherosclerosis, erectile dysfunction, and intermittent claudication."

    Is this what this is really about? Be honest, you're among friends ;)

    I'm sorry, what? You substituted your prescription Lipitor for some supplement????

    Wasnt that clear from my original post? This was done in a very controlled way. I take this very very seriously indeed and the 6 months of research into "some supplement" indicated it was a very viable possibility. However it didnt work out. I take resp for my own health (which is in fact why I would prefer not to be on Lipitor) and am more than willing to live with the risks of being without lipitor for a couple of months. Nothing reckless about any of this. Unless your question wasnt sarcastic in nature and that you were genuinely asking if I had substituted? The answer to that is yes.
