• Recommended dosing for nitric oxide booster

  • Sources:

    For boosting nitric oxide levels, here are some dosing recommendations based on various sources:

    1. L-Arginine:

      • A meta-analysis has shown that taking 2.8 to 8 grams daily of L-Arginine can improve erectile function in men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction (ED). Specific studies indicate that a dose of 6 grams daily, divided into three doses, is effective when taken with meals 1.
    2. L-Citrulline:

      • In men over 40, a citrulline-based nitric oxide supplement is preferred over arginine, as it is more effective in this age group 2. The precise dosing may vary, but it should be based on supplement instructions and individual health conditions.
    3. Nitric Oxide Lozenges:

    4. General Recommendations:

      • Nitric oxide boosting supplements may replace or reduce the need for PDE-5 inhibitors (like Viagra) when nitric oxide levels are adequately maintained. For example, micro-dosing with 5 to 10 milligrams sublingually of PDE-5 inhibitors, alongside nitric oxide supplements, can be effective for managing ED 4.

    Consult with healthcare providers to tailor these recommendations based on individual health needs, and to monitor for potential side effects or interactions, especially for those with pre-existing conditions.
