Hey, I have a tub of around 100g of pure Arginine AKG in powder form and was wondering how to supplement it with PE and to improve general erection quality?
does anyone have any advice or experience in this field?

L-Arginine has direct effect on the levels of Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide is the strongest agent that triggers off an erection, it has vasodialation properties, thus improving blood flow. It will help your erection levels for sure. Also, Nitric Oxide acts directly in the healing process of wounds, therefore L-Arginine will improve your healing process. A good dosage is around 3g (3000mg) of L-Arginine combined with half of the dosage of L-Ornithine (1500mg) per day.

Ornithine is similar in structure to Arginine. It is also widely used to boost HGH. L-Ornithine, or OKG (Ornithine ketoglutarate) is slowly converted to arginine in the body, but is also metabolized to other health promoting amino acids, it induces the release of growth hormone in the body, which in turn helps with fat metabolism. But because L-ornithine can be more potent than L-arginine it's recommended half of the dosage.
I've extracted this from an old sticky in the General PE Section:
L-arginine
What it is: L-arginine is an amino acid that is manufactured by the body and is also found in many protein foods. Amino acids are chemical units that combine to form the proteins found within the human body.
What it does: Although L-arginine is a non-essential amino acid i.e. the body is capable of producing its own supplies, higher dosages taken in supplement form have be shown to enhance erectile function in both men with normal sexual function and in those suffering from impotence.
L-arginine is believed to improve erectile function by increasing the body's supply of Nitric Oxide (NO). This chemical is essential for optimum sexual function, as it increases the blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal by relaxing the smooth muscle fibres within the penis - allowing penile blood vessels to expand. In fact, Viagra, the successful anti-impotence drug, works in exactly the same way and because of this, L-arginine is considered to be one of the most powerful and effective male prosexual supplements available.
The effects of L-arginine are cumulative, and it can take 2-6 weeks of regular usage before the increased blood flow to the penis produces firmer, fuller erections. In men with normal sexual function, the results are similar to when extremely sexually aroused and erections look somewhat larger than usual.
Recommended dosage: 3-6g a day. For best results, L-arginine should be taken about an hour before sexual activity. If you suffer from an autoimmune disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis, L-arginine should only be taken under medical supervision.
L-ornithine
L-Ornithine is an amino acid that has been used by fitness enthusiasts for years. L - Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid and is manufactured by the body. Since the body can produce Ornithine, a deficiency of this non-essential amino acid is rare and it is abundant in protein foods such as meat, fish, dairy, and eggs.
Ornithine is important since it:
Induces the release of growth hormone in the body, which in turn helps with fat metabolism. Required for a properly functioning immune system and liver. Assists in ammonia detoxification and liver Rejuvenation. Helps healing and repairing skin and tissue and is found in both these body parts. Unsupported claims that Ornithine promotes muscle building, but this has not been proven. Helpful for people recouping after surgery and athletes may benefit from this nutrient.
Ornithine is similar in structure to Arginine. It is also widely used to boost HGH. It has double the effectiveness of Arginine at the same dosage. The usual dosage is 2 - 3 grams.
L-Ornithine, an amino acid, is manufactured by the body when another amino acid, Arginine, is metabolized during the production of urea (a constituent of urine). Animal research has suggested that L-Ornithine, along with Arginine, may promote muscle-building activity in the body by increasing levels of anabolic (growth-promoting) hormones such as insulin and growth hormone.
While the above supplements are helpful in maintaining the general health of the penis and reproductive system, the following herbs are known to be particularly beneficial for men suffering specifically from weak erections or impotence.

Arginine AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate) is *supposed* to be a more controlled release product. *If* it does what it is supposed to then it will probably be less effective for promotion of erections than l-arginine.
Arginine AKGs main goal is to promote "Mad pumps" in the gym.
L-arginine has many studies extolling its dick related virtues. Arginine AKG on the other hand has nary a one.
