Caroline, which one of these are you using now... 9 tablespoonfuls?

from what I see here:
http://www.greatlakesgelatin.com/con...cidContent.php
your dosing would give you about 5000mg (+ or - 500mg) of arginine, and about 2500mg of lysine.
People who consume much more arginine daily than lysine, may trigger or activate latent Herpes simplex, and Herpes Zoster virus in the body. Both these viruses use arginine to replicate and may activate when arginine becomes higher than lysine. These gelatin products are very high in arginine, and are mentioned on many sites as triggers for viral activation (shingles).
Here is one example by Dr. Perlmutter MD:

So if you continue with that very high intake of gelatin you may encounter over time the shingles or a reactivation of cold sores. I saw this commonly in nursing home patients receiving Arginaid for bed sores.

Arginaid has 4.5 grams of arginine per dose. The above link is an example of what Arginaid is.
