Nitric Oxide Booster

[Reyaj]

Does anyone know much about this? Apparently it increases blood flow which leads to a ton of overall benefits.

I might try some, just want to make sure there's nothing dangerous about it.. I'm all about natural supplements..

Arginine and citrulline? work pretty well.

Yeah I think either of those can be the source of it right? Is it completely safe to take?

 

[Reyaj]

Yes, just get AAKG.

What's that?

I believe so, I haven't had any bad side effects with it. I would not overdo it because I could see it potentially leading to injury if you feel overconfident.

The product I was looking at is called Redwood, are you familiar?

It's the steady release form of arginine that's in nitric oxide boosters. It'll be cheaper.

what's the name of the product?

OK, but do nitric oxide supplements actually work?

Honestly, we don't really know. There's simply not enough evidence to suggest that they do.

"[The idea is that these supplements] will increase NO, and then because of that, it'll cause vasodilation, and then the downstream effect of vasodilation would be this massive increase in blood flow, which leads to increased exercise performance and enhanced recovery," says Richard Bloomer, Ph.D., dean of the School of Health Studies and The Center for Wellness and Fitness at the University of Memphis. "But most, if not all, of [these purported benefits] have not been supported by available evidence."


In studies that have shown a link between improvements in performance and nitrate levels in the blood, such positive results could simply be a result of extensive training, as exercise itself enhances nitric oxide activity. Plus, dietary nitrate comes from other sources, like vegetables, and most studies don't control for this.

Even if there are benefits to nitric oxide supplementation, it's unclear whether they would apply to everyone. A review of 42 studies related to the effects of dietary ingredients linked with nitric oxide and exercise performance found mixed results: the review concluded that while nitric oxide supplements may "improve tolerance" to aerobic and anaerobic exercise in people who either aren't in shape or are moderately trained, there seems to be no benefit in highly trained people.

I take citrulline malate instead of l-arginine.

Studies show that citrulline malate converts to l-arginine, and this form has a higher bioavailability than taking l-arginine directly.

Do your research before jumping on any sups.

Ahh yes, nitric oxide.it does work indeed and it does increase blood flow and is good for many things...
Be careful not to get the one that has lead. It’s only trace amounts , but still.
NUTRAKEY has some good N.O ,the powder form worked best for me but there’s also PILLS

I just got the supplements, they are instructing to take 3 capsules twice a day...

The serving size is 3 capsules and contains the following:
1000mg Vitamin C
300mg Garlic
250mg Horse Chestnut
125mg Caesin Hydrolysate
100mg Pine Bark Extract
75mg L-Leusine

I might just take 1-2 of these capsules today along with a multivitamin. I think taking 6 per day is a lot... I'll report back if I notice any difference.
