A couple of years ago, I took arginine + ornithine to increase nitric oxide and decrease inflammation... At first, it was the best thing! Before I crashed, here's what worked:
1. if I take lysine at the same time, will I have a better chance at avoiding the dreaded crash? I don't know why I crashed (and crashed HARD) but I believe it's b/c my EBV got out of control... If I take lysine - and maybe olive leaf extract (which I know fixes out of control EBV for me), then can I get the benefit w/o the crash?
2. is it necessary to take arginine and ornithine together? e.g., are they co-factors? I still have some arginine, lysine and OLE, but no ornithine
I know there's "good" nitric oxide and "bad" nitric oxide (decrease vs increase inflammation).. not sure how to stimulate one w/o the other
thanks

- big increase in energy
- decrease in inflammation, pain (subjective, I wasn't tested for CRP + SED rate during this period)
- EXTREME mental focus - bordering on OCD, which was fine w me! I got so much done... brain fog is one of my most annoying symptoms
