love the series! ❤ I've rewritten this so many times, now I'll make it a short story and just send it ammonium chloride powder is a common flavour additive in Nordic candy but almost universally disliked outside the nordics. if you can find some food grade, I'd like to hear your description of the taste, because it is kind of unique(?) and has all that -NHx like Arg. yeah, it's a long shot that they taste similar..

chaotic biochemistry: someone start a series where they eat miscellaneous items and pick the closest amino acid it tastes like.

arginine isnt metabolized into NO i think but into Agmatine which is, so it is thought, a neurotransmitter/Amine which also acts on NO and Imadozilin Rezeptor which is the reason people use it as a pump booster

Can I ask your opinion on collagen supplements etc? my thought process has always been that we need to break down the chains into AAs/peptides so is there any actual advantage to taking collagen rather than a generic protein supplement?? Love this series thank you so much!!!!!!
