Bummed out, Angina still getting worse

There are muscles in the arteries that dilate/contract in times of need/stress - allowing more blood flow, or restricting the diameter to increase blood pressure - unless you arteries are stiff and calcified. In theory calcified arteries from lack of vitamin K (usually induced by heart medications by the way) would overcome any advantage that NO induced from arginine might offer. However, Arginine has many other helpful benefits, especially for men

Any suggestions for someone that gets colds sores? Mine have gotten much less frequent and severe with 4 grams of lysine per day. The theory is that it balances out arginine, so maybe I have enough already?

The article mentions magnesium orotate, is it similar to the threonate? This is very confusing. I currently take the doctors best magnesium glycinate/lysinate chelate form and wonder if I should be taking more than one form and if the one I take now is okay, ideas?

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse anyone. I think any mag you take is beneficial, different forms might target different things a little better. Here's an article I found that may help.
