I'd like to know what are the side effects of PARGINE 5g. I know what it's mainly prescribed for but people are also taking it as a bodybuilding supplement to increase the GH levels in their bodies.

The use of arginine aspartate, which has been shown to increase anabolic hormones like human growth hormone (hGH) and glucagon, for ergogenic purposes (bodybuilding), remains a controversial topic, and adverse effects cannot be identified without running proper scientific studies on long-term use.
While some studies have claimed that supplementation of arginine aspartate over a three-week period resulted in lower blood lactate concentrations and oxygen consumption, diminished glucose and enhanced fat oxidation, and reduced heart rate and ventilation during submaximal cycle exercise, which implies increased submaximal work capacity and exercise tolerance, other studies demonstrated that, compared to athletes who do not take this product, the ones who did had no significant differences on endurance performance, endocrine (concentration of human growth hormone, glucagon, cortisol, and testosterone) and metabolic parameters (concentration of lactate, ferritine, and urea) after a four-week supplementation with arginine aspartate. In addition, and regardless of the dosage, there was no influence on performance, selected metabolic or endocrine parameters. They concluded that there seems to be no apparent reason why the supplementation of arginine aspartate should be an effective ergogenic aid.
The practice of using arginine aspartate as potential ergogenics is tius not well established and need to be critically reexamined. Further investigations with higher dosage and extended supplementation periods should be performed to identify potential harmful adverse effects.
