hi everyone

I've just been reading about a product called ARGI+. just wondering if anyone had come across this product. It says it dilates the blood vessels. Which can only be a good thing. Any help on this would be appreciated.

I was recommended this for the Chronic Fatigue which I stuffer from along with the Raynauds and Sclerodema but as yet haven't got round to buying it. I also would be interested to know if it has been beneficial for anyone. X

Hi Medes, since this morning I decided to go and buy some l-arginine from Hooland and Barrett

Sorry this got sent before I had finished or corrected it - oops. It was much cheaper than the Argi+. So I thought I would try that before committing to the more expensive one. Will let you know if it helps in the next couple of months. Take care. Xxx

Hello there...can I just advise that if you are taking any herbal remedies that you inform your GP or specialist nurses/Consultants as some of them can interact with your prescribed medications. I noted on some of the adverts for ARGI+ that it said not suitable for people with heart conditions. If you are having problems with circulation then I would really advise that you go for the tried and tested versions first in discussion and supervision with your GP. Just because medications are herbal does not mean that they can't have damaging effects. Many of the prescribed medications have a plant base and have been through extensive trials. If anyone saw Trust Me I'm a Doctor then they also found that many of the herbal remedies did not even have active ingredients in them so please please beware. All my best Lucy
