What Is The Recommended Dosage Of L-Arginine To Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

Do what are the dosage recommendations for using l-arginine to treat ED? I read 5 g. What would be the lowest dosage and still be effective? I came across a study which said that l-arginine and pyncogenol were 80% effective in treating ED. I found this study on on webmd.com but I can’t find it to get the dosages that we’re used.

Hello,

l arginine dosage is 500 mg three times a day for 4-6 weeks. But The recommended starting dose of L-arginine is 2 grams daily. Because L-arginine is not designed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) immediately (like sildinafil or tadalafil).

It needs to be used on a regular basis. Over time, ED may improve. Please check for the cause of erectile dysfunction by color dopplor of penis vasculature, diabeties,stress etc.

Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
