What's the difference between L-arginine and AAKG.
I have assumed AAKG was more potent hence I bought it as I would require less than L-arginine.
I didn't realise I would need 10g.
Hi Zee,
So AAKG is an extension of L Arginine within it's molecular structure. AAKG is more potent and acts a better supplement especially for endurance and performance.
