Nutricost Pure L-Arginine Powder (250g,5000mg Per Serving,50 Servings)

Good

The taste is very bad, it's like plastic, I don't know what, it doesn't go well with milk or anything. The first time I took it, I vomited. I found an easier way to not reduce the taste, but I forgot about its taste. I take one scoop with a spoon, shake it, and drink it immediately. Then I eat a prune right away. Or any fruit that suits me, plums worked for me. I felt that they washed my mouth of this horrible taste.

I give this 5 stars, trusting that the powder is indeed pure L-arginine. It does indeed taste fishy (mixed into water). I did some internet research and refreshed basic biochemistry of amino acids: of the 20 amino acids, arginine is among the positively charged and has an alkaline pH, and that's why it tastes fishy and "amine-like." The addition of acid to the arginine solution will neutralize the pH, at which point it will be mostly tasteless--thus the reviews that mention adding lemon, apple cider, etc. I did this with hibiscus tea, which is a natural pH indicator, like litmus paper. The tea is bright red at acid pH and tastes quite sour. As you add L-arginine powder, the color of the tea starts to turn purple (pH neutral; gets blue towards alkaline pH). It won't taste as sour (and no fishy arginine taste--unless you add a lot of arginine and pass the pH ~7). I do hope that the arginine powder taken this way still has its efficacy. I am taking it to both help lower blood pressure (vasodilation) and to help with brain (recent study showing L-arginine reduces amyloid aggregates and improves cognition in mice). I have already seen some decrease in BP, but it could be the hibiscus tea. Hibiscus tea has numerous health benefits, but I don't want to erode my teeth enamel, or neutralize the pH with baking soda, which will add sodium and increase BP. Aiya.

the title is veey clear, pure and no flavors, por el precio y cantidad es la mejor que hay en el mercado, el sabor es tipo medicina, pero si quieres capsulas y recibir 1 gramo por el mismo precio y 5 grms, o si quieres 2 o 3 gramos con edulcorantes es tu eleccion, para mi por mucho es la mejor (si es que trae lo que dice traer)

Taste very unpalatable Could not tolerate it

Pesimo Sabor lo deje de consumir con nada le quitas el Sabor.
