Not what I expected
I use Argenine regularly and have very good results with it. Unfortunately, the AKG form shows no results that I can tell.
With the normal form I see results in as little as 20 min, but I might as well take a spoonful of sugar as the Argenine AKG.
In all fairness, I have an absorption problem, and perhaps the AKG form is simply not taken up by my system, but to me it seems a useless waste of money.

Dissolves instantly. It is sweet but it actually is a plus (for me) since I mix it with a different Swanson powder supplement which is bitter so it levels the taste.
Hard for me to be honest about effectiveness since I've been using it for such a short period of time. With that said I would recommend it because Swasnson's "stuff" never let me down and if it did, they have their amazing return policy!

"I love Swanson Premium Products"
This Arginine AKG powder sure is a great product. I workout a lot and if you are looking into purchasing Arginine, give this product a chance, you wont be sorry you did.

The best
This is the only Arginine powder that I've been able to take without making a terrible face, or worse. And it's at least as effective as any other as well. I've just ordered two more jars.

Amazing Flavor
If you have ever taken pure arginine free base powder before, you know that its taste is beyond awful. That's what make the flavor of this Swanson product so amazing. Mixed with a little Dole orange/peach/mango juice, I don't even taste the arginine. Wow!
I didn't give 5 stars because I just received the product today, and haven't had time to evaluate its effectiveness. If it does what I hope it'll do, I'll update the rating to 5. But the taste is definitely a winner. That's going to definitely help me continue taking it on a regular basis.

Amazing workout enhancement
I bought this in an effort to increase my workout results. I had read some reviews from others about arginine prior to workout and how it increased their reps and endurance. Amazing stuff. My workouts the first few days were amazing. I was able to do almost twice as many reps as before. Great mental clarity too.

Contains sweeteners
The sweeteners can cause problems for those of us that have overgrowth trouble.
I usually am very happy with Swanson products.

Tastes Great!
My husband takes Arginine and prefers the Swanson brand over any other because he says it tastes great. Once I got him a different brand, that was unflavored, and he hated it. He begged me to get the Swanson brand again.
We try to take our supplements in liquid or powder form whenever we find them available because we hear they are absorbed better and they don't contain any harmful fillers used in pills and capsules.
If you need to take Arginine powder, this is a great tasting and reasonably priced product.

tasty, a little bit sour
I have purchased dozens and I will order again. I have a few sugestions: do not mind those telling that it is too sweet.
It is not too sweet - it's ok, in fact it is a little too sour. I am mixing it with water and I let it rest about 30 minutes before I drink it and it fully disolves. If it woud not be fully disolved it woud be ok but when fully disolved it's a little sour.
Also, there is a problem with the seals of the last batch: they are rusted on the margins, on the inside, the metal surface has brown rust - I found it because I like to lick the seal foil after I open a new bottle.
I am using it for the HGH, at night and I find it to be good. I take one bottle and one week off and another bottle and so on.
All in all it's a great product to have and to use!

great arginine
I was hoping to improve NO levels during workouts, i must be missing a few other ingredients. Instead I now use this before bed in hopes of effecting GH levels. Taste works well for me. Interesting at first, but you get used to it. A cap-full gets you a quick 5 grams... much better than downing 5 huge 1-gram pills that can lodge in your throat.

Works great!
I've had good results so far after about a month of using this. I use less than the recommended daily amount, I thought it might be too much to start with 10-15 total grams, I'm using about 3-4 grams twice a day but will try increasing my total to 5 grams twice a day. I wanted to make sure I didn't get sick from using it so I started out with a lower amount.
I tried the powder as is with water and it was terrible, it's overly sweet with an artificial taste to it, so then I thought I would try it with plain yogurt thinking it would be like lemon flavored sweetened yogurt and that was a really bad idea, it tasted awful. So finally I tried adding some lemon juice to the water along with the AKG powder and it tasted like........Lemonade! It was AWESOME! The tartness or bitterness of the lemon juice was offset by the overly sweet AKG powder, I think it's a good combination to try.
In regard to effectiveness, after a couple weeks I noticed I was able to do a few extra reps, like going from 13-14 pullups at best to 17-18 pullups/chinups and I've increased a few pounds of weight for curls and bench press, which tells me that it must be the AKG that's helping me to get stronger because I didn't change anything else about my diet. I'm a hard-gainer, I only weigh about 150 lbs but I can see that I'm starting to get more bulk in my arms and shoulder area. I have seen this happen in just 4 weeks and I've been able to gain a couple lbs since I started using it. I take protein powder as well but I don't take the two at the same time. I take the AKG about 15-30 minutes before I work out and the protein powder after my workout. I also take the AKG powder just before breakfast.
I'm sure the protein powder helps as well but I believe it's the AKG powder that is helping me the most to get desired results. I wasn't getting obvious results before with just the protein powder. Maybe it's all in my mind, I want to believe that it's working but it's actually just a placebo effect. Regardless, I have to say this supplement is worth a try, I am seeing some good results.

Great Pre-workout powder
A great powder to take pre-workout with Creatine. The taste is excellent and covers over and other foul tasting powders you may have in your mix. Gives good energy, muscular fullness and enhanced circulation to the extremities. Good libido boost.

Tastes tooo weird
Should have made it without the unnecessary flavoring and sweeteners!

Best A-AKG Around
This arginine AKG powder is effective and saves me money. I am highly skeptical of bodybuilding supplements as they are often higher on hype then substance. But, this A-AKG has the lowest cost per serving of any I've tried and produces consistently great results, The only gripe I have is a rather picky one. The scoop provided is really too short for the container. But, I do like the fact it's in powder form. Makes it much faster acting. Almost immediate pumps. Great before and after a workout.
You can throw your money at the mall stores or you can buy this A-AKG powder from Swanson. Same product, same results, less money.

Arginine Powder
My cardiologist recommeded that I take 6 grams of arginine two times per day... This product makes it easy to take and the results are much faster than takeing pills or capsules..and it tastes great... . I give this product a 5 rating..

Good Product
The Arginine Powder is a little too sweet for me.

Great pump.
I personally take Arginine to get a good pump while working out so that nutrient rich blood can get deeper delivery to the muscle. That way my muscle will adapt more efficiently to suit my workout goals. I have tried almost every Arginine, N.O. product you can think of. Swanson's does the same as everyone else' and it's a lot cheaper. Great product.

Nice Alternative to Capsules
I find this more convenient and a better value than capsules. I was nervous about the lemon flavoring - and I still wish Swanson offered an unflavored version for the same price - but it's not overpowering, or even terribly noticeable, in a protein smoothie.

I like the delivery form
It is difficult to obtain a sufficient amount of arginine in most delivery forms. This reconstitutable powder is great tasting and easy to dissolve. I use it to consume the rest of my supplements and find that it is top quality from both the product delivery and constitution standpoint. Excellent product and delivery form.

Affordable quality
Amazing - this mixed with powdered Citrulline anywhere else would cost you $60 for an amount less that this!!!

Good boost
I noticed a boost in muscular endurance during my workouts. When taken before workouts I can squeeze out extra reps in nearly every set.

use this product
It works for me. I love this product.
I use the MSM with it.
February 12, 2010
bad taste
I ordered this product before and it tasted good. The last container you sent has a very bad smell and a bad taste. I think I got a spoiled batch. Better check it out.
