Carlson - L-Arginine Powder, Free-Form Amino Acid, Circulatory Health, 3.53 oz (100 g)

I don't make nitric oxide so I need a scoop of l-arginine daily. It's a great product for me. The scoop is included.

I got this as part of a vitamin therapy for lowering my blood pressure - we shall see.

This is the second round for me of using this product. I don't remember which brand I used the first time around but I bought it at a local health food store. I was unable to find the same brand at Amazon which is why I ordered the "Carlson" L-Arginine Powder. I chose Carlson, as it is a trusted quality brand and I am also using another of their products which I am satisfied with. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the L-Arginine Powder... well... at least as its smell is concerned. It is so revolting that -since I don't wish to waste the product- I open the jar.. holding it far away from my nose.. taking what I need and quickly closing it up again whilst holding my breath. I then rapidly dissolve and drink it in a little water -again whilst holding my breath- with a shot glass full of pomegranate juice waiting to be ingested as a "chaser" (in the truest sense of the word lol), so that the tartness of the juice overpowers any possible bad taste from the powder. I will not order this product from Carlson ever again. I just hope that the horrible smell doesn't mean that the product is of inferior quality. Update: I felt it was fair to report an update. I decided to re-order this brand because Carlson is a good brand and the price seems to deliver "the best bang for the buck" compared to much more costly... offers. I have gotten used to taking the powder while stopping to breathe through my nose... lol... and I believe it to be a good product.

After 3 teaspoons taken 1 every day I couldn't put it in my mouth anymore. Stinks to High Heavens, as you open the container. Something is wrong with this product.
