My face just started looking like a pizza like a week after I started taking arginine ornithine.

I dont know if its related, dont see how it would be, but whatever. ALl I know is I used to get maybe one or 2 barely noticable zits a week now im getting tons of them on a daily basis.


wtf? dht is the cause right? Could arginine have anything to do with it. I dunno if this is good or not, considering I still dont have to much of a libido ;P

i don't think we know much about dht besides that it fu*cks up your scalp follicles at a certain age. i wonder if the acne i still get on my back, the hair on my shoulders and back, and my hair loss are all connected. i've wondered this for awhile, but i still can't find an answer.

DHT has a lot to do with acne in fact it is one of the side effects of steroid use. The question is if Arginine is causing this and the answer is no. You need something alot more powerful than that to raise DHT levels. Arginine and Orithine are perported to raise Growth hormone levels not DHT or test. And they have not been proven to do that significantly.

I do not think it is the Aginine although Prohormones like Androdiol 19, Androsteine, Androstenidione and Tribulus will definately make you break out. I tried to add borage oil caps to my diet and I broke out pretty good. Pretty sad when your 35yrs old, since I was 14 I have had zits on my back and chest bad- dont know why neither did the derm. I swear it was from hormones, like overproduction of DHT .

I will let you know when I get a blood hormone level test soon.
