• Alzheimer disease. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for Alzheimer disease, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.
• Anxiety. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for anxiety, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.
• Athletic performance. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for improving athletic performance, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.

• Depression. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for depression, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.
• Epilepsy. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for epilepsy, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.
• Herniated disc. It is unclear if oral agmatine is beneficial in patients with herniated disc. Details: A small clinical study in patients with radicular pain associated with lumbar disc herniation shows that taking agmatine sulfate 890 mg three times daily for 14 days decreases pain scores by around 20% and increases health-related quality of life scores by around 50% when compared with placebo (94736).
• Muscle strength. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for increasing muscle strength, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.
• Parkinson disease. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for Parkinson disease, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.
• Peripheral neuropathy. It is unclear if oral agmatine is beneficial in patients with peripheral neuropathy. Details: A small, open-label study in patients with peripheral neuropathy of mixed etiologies shows that taking a specific agmatine sulfate product (AgmaSet, Gilad&Gilad LLC) 2.67 grams daily, in divided doses, for 2 months reduces pain intensity by around 46% and improves symptom scores for burning, numbness, and tingling when compared to baseline (111144). The validity of these findings is limited by a lack of comparator group.
• Schizophrenia. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for schizophrenia, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose.
• Stroke. Although there has been interest in using oral agmatine for neuroprotection against stroke, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of agmatine for this purpose. More evidence is needed to rate agmatine for these uses.
