Just picked up a bottle of L-Arginine pills (500mg/pill). Just wondering, how much should I take daily? Also, at what time (ie. right before I work out, in the morning, etc...) and under what circumstances (empty stomach, with protein, etc...). Thanks

ps. Quick creatine question. I'm using creatine monohydrate and take about 5g daily. Just wondering, should I spread out my intake over the period of the day, or should I take it in one serving, and if so when. Thanks

I'd advise you to take the pills back to the store, and buy some powder from NOW Foods. To get anything out of it, you need to take 12-15 grams a day, and a lot of people don't get any benefit at all.
