* Lysine (essential amino acid): The arginine booster, A study in 1981 by A. Isidori, M.D. and associates from University of Rome found that the combination of 1,200 mg of lysine and 1,200 mg of arginine was 10 times more effective then arginine alone. The fact that lysine and arginine were active in an oral form is clearly of considerable importance, says the researcher. Dosage should be 1 gram before exercise and before sleeping. * Glutamine (conditionally essential): A study in 1995 by Thomas C. Welbourne, showed that an oral dose of about 2 grams of glutamine raised HGH levels more then 4 times over the that of the placebo. The dose of 2 grams is the key "since a smaller amount would probably not be enough to stimulate HGH and a larger amount would accelerate the removal of glutamine from the blood by the liver."
