arginine & canker sores...can I take something else?

I saw a lot about arginine on this site but unfortunately I get really bad canker sores if I (sounds weird but not that uncommon if you google it).

How important is arginine & is there anything I can take instead?

.

i used it and it worked for a few weeks but i developed a resistance to it
i had luck with some stuff called maca powder , improved libido and erection strength in my case anyway
