THORNE L-Arginine, Sustained Release Formula, 120 Capsules | Supports Heart Health, Nitric Oxide Production, Exercise Capacity & Optimal Blood Flow*, Gluten-Free, NSF Contents Certified

I used to be able to noticeably tell when the L-Arginine was working, but after taking it consistently, I think I’ve simply gotten used to the effects. I continue to take Thorne L-Arginine daily because I feel it’s beneficial and has become a regular part of my routine.

A good product that works and it’s reasonably priced for the positive results.

I understand that there’s not proven studies about BP with this stuff. I can say this…. I use Thorne stuff quite a bit, have been for several years. Let me say this…. When I’m on my BS and taking horrible care of myself…. I have prescription meds like Losartan for that…. But when I take this daily, it drops my BP a few points. Nothing crazy, but noticeable.

Another great Thorne product. It’s helping me with my blood pressure with daily activity

This is a very simple purchase. And I’ve only been using this for a few days.

Love Thorne!

Excelent

I'm an African American male in my low 50s and woke up one day to find I had elevated BP. An estimated 40% of blacks suffer from high BP and in my search for a solution, I learned about perfusia it in Kowalski's book, "The Blood Pressure Cure," which is itself a great book which I also recommend. He gives the science behind BP control and what we know about alternative meds. In fact, an M.D., Kowlaski does not reject pharmaceuticals but says they should be the last resort. I agree with him. Remember the enemy is not pharmaceuticals but high BP. Kowalski gives a raft of safe, "natural" supplements backed by research to try. Thus, I began to systematically explore them one by one about 8 months ago. I figured something had to work. When I began experimenting with perfusia my BP was 135/92 at home. This may not sound very high, in fact, it is borderline. But keep in mind this was the median BP which means half were above this figure and half below. After using perfusia for about four months, I took after 25 BP measurements over two weeks at home and I found my median BP had dropped to 121/79. I had also began exercising regularly (I got a gym membership and walked for one hour five days a week); I practiced slow breathing (almost everyday for 20 min); and I increased my K:Na (potassium-sodium) ratio to 5:1, again all per Kowalkski. While I cannot say with 100% certainty that perfusia is the sole explanation for my BP drop, the fact is that I had been exercising and slow breathing prior to perfusia with no positive results. Perhaps perfusia works optimally with these other things. I don't know. In any case, they are my insurance policy, kind of a layered strategy. What I find interesting is that after some research many of the things in Kowalski's book work by increasing NO (nitrous oxide) in the endothelium of the blood vessels which relaxes them. Exercise, increasing K, polyphenols in vegetables, etc. do this. L-arginine which is the main ingredient of perfusia is an NO precursor. What makes perfusia different is that it is time-released. Apparently, ordinary L-arginine is metabolized very quickly to be of any practical use. Thus, the claim is you can't go out and use any L-argine supplement, although I don't know if this is really the case since I haven't tried any other L-arginine supplement. Perhaps most importantly, I seem to have had no side effects (knock, knock). Finally, the cost of this product is not cheap. However, cost is probably on par with pharmaceutical BP meds which are infamous for their negative side-effects. They are horrible. You can do the research and see for yourself what others are saying and what the data shows. So for me, perfusia is a bargin, all things considered.

Excellent

Easy access to any product

Ich bin mit diesem Medikament überhaupt nicht zufrieden. Es war sehr teuer und meine Erfahrung damit war leider äußerst schlecht. Sowohl mein Mann als auch ich haben es eingenommen und hatten erhebliche gesundheitliche Probleme. Bei mir kam es zu starken Hautproblemen und einer deutlichen Verschlechterung meines Gesundheitszustands, sodass sogar der Notdienst kommen musste. Ich kann natürlich nicht beurteilen, ob alle Beschwerden direkt durch das Medikament verursacht wurden, aber meine persönliche Erfahrung war sehr negativ. Deshalb würde ich dringend empfehlen, vor der Einnahme unbedingt mit einem Arzt zu sprechen. Für mich steht die Gesundheit an erster Stelle. Nach meiner Erfahrung würde ich dieses Medikament niemandem empfehlen. Eigentlich würde ich dafür keinen Stern geben, aber ohne Sterne kann ich die Bewertung leider nicht abschicken.

Good product, but the price has shot up from £40 last month to £80 this month. That's just shameful profiteering. Less than half that price elsewhere, so don't fall for it - check out BigVits and Dolphin.

I loved this product as it is actually working. However it caused often heart palpitations and fast-beating which scared me a lot. After i stopped using the medicine symptoms has stopped. I wonder if someone else has faced this problem.
