Best out there
Best out there! Love the 6 gram per serving. Many other brands do capsules in mg form wasting your time and money! I mix this with my electrolyte powder and tastes great!

Better pump, increased vasculariry
I was previously taking an Arginine supplement, which was Arginine AKG (most Arginine supplements). After doing some research, I found that “Peer-reviewed studies have found no increase in muscle protein synthesis or improvement in muscle strength from use of AAKG as a dietary supplement.[1][2][3]”
This product is derived from Arginine HCL, which the body can process and use better. Better pump and more vascular.

Product works well
This product works well and the taste...there really isn't any. Yes, its bitter when mixed with plain water, but still palatable. Works best when mixed with a diluted juice or a whey shake. I have noticed a huge difference in the gym. Muscles feel pumped much quicker now and it motivates me to do the extra rep.

My shake:
1. Whey (rich chocolate) (1 scoop)
2. BCAA & Glutamine (2 scoops)
3. L-Arginine (2 scoops)

People are too judgemental on Non Free Form arginine
Yes this has a tart taste mixed with water. This is Arginine HCL meaning the taste is no where near as bad as Free Form. I believe people are just too judgemental on it when it comes down to taste. Now because it's HCL and not Free Form. Please google the side effects to certain people. This is not because of Arginine but the HCL added. As one person stated if the tart taste is too bad for you then you CAN mix it with Welch Grape juice. Free Form you need to actual do another step to neutralize the taste and that's add pure lemon juice. This product because of the HCL is PH neutral. Making it perfect for mixing. Now why this says 6 grams its not pure 100% Arginine. It can't be the percentage is probably somewhere in the 70% or 80% range Arginine. The other 20% to 30% is HCL which gives its tart taste. Anyone who had Free Form can tell you this is not that bad. If bodybuilding which is what I don't use it for, I heard using anything with sugar is bad. This I don't know and you can google this. So if the terrible taste of Free Form Arginine makes you wanna puke this is a happy medium with taking with water. Warning this contains L-Arginine HCL so please google the side effects of using this product. I would for sure consult your doctor prior to using. This warning applies to certain people that's why I say Google it or ask your PC prior to buying or using.

Awesome product
This powder has a nasty tart taste. I tried every mixture to take this stuff with. Finally I used Welches Grape Juice and that did the trick. It mixes really well. No more tart taste.

Good Product
This powder has a very strong tart taste and no matter what I tried to mix it with, it was still bitter. I tried mixing it with Welch's Grape juice and it completely masked the bitter taste. I'm so glad I mixed it with the grape juice. This powder mix has a lot of grams of L-Arginine for your money. I also noticed that the light varicose veins in my lower left leg have almost completely disappeared. I can't explain that.

    Mega-Liposomal Glutathione+ 750 MG - Organic Fruit Flavor (16 Fluid Ounces Liquid)
    Aurora Mega-Liposomal Glutathione - 750 MG - Organic

    At Aurora Nutrascience, we incorporate a unique proprietary multistage process to produce our premium grade Liposomal based Glutathione product. Through this process, we maintain a strict high level of 'Quality Control'. You can be assured that our products are manufactured to the highest standards without compromise!

    Our Mega-Liposomal Glutathione+ is created from all natural phosphatidylcholine nutrient-filled liposome nanospheres made from Non-GMO Soy Lecithin. These liposome spheres encapsulate the Glutathione molecules and have the potential to facilitate a more efficient transition through the digestive system allowing for higher bioavailability into the bloodstream.

    We take pride in the fact that we use only 100% 'Certified Organic' pure natural fruit flavoring and 100% 'Certified Gluten Free' stevia sweetener to create our great taste.

    Glutathione is a combination of three amino acids which are found in all the cells in our body and is essential for the body's cellular metabolism. Glutathione protects against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, is required for the immune system to operate properly and is a powerful detoxifier.

    Conventional Glutathione is absorbed into the bloodstream by approximately 18% and the balance remains in the colon. Mega-Liposomal Glutathione+ by contrast is resistant to gastric acids and protects the Glutathione molecule from oxidative degradation while shielding your lower G.I. tract thereby eliminating gastric discomfort.

    Mega-Liposomal Glutathione+ moves through the stomach unharmed passing through the intestinal walls, transported to the liver and is absorbed into the bloodstream in an un-oxidized and unmodified state. Mega-Liposomal Glutathione+ facilitates a significant increase in the absorption and bioavailability of Glutathione by +90% as measured in the bloodstream.

    To put this into perspective, you would have to take over 5 conventional 500mg Glutathione tablets to get a +460mg dose into the bloodstream. With Mega-Liposomal Glutathione+, you only need to take 1 dose (1 tbsp) to give you approximately 750 mg of Glutathione along with the added nutrition benefit of natural Phospholipids into your bloodstream. These all natural Phospholipids form the outer membrane of lipids that are a major component all of the living cells in your body including your brain.
