What NO Supp would you recommend and why?

[tobetutz]

I will go first..And let me say I do not work nor am I affiliated with any one of these copanies I am about to mention.

Before I work out I take SuperPump 250 by Gaspari and MRI NO2 Red.

My pumps are sick as ****. I get good sustained energy from the superpump and sick pumps from the no2. I feel like I can work out for hours and recover quickly between sets. Only negative is the price on the no2 and the superpump gives me stomach complications when I take at a high dose.

So, what are you all taking for no2 products and why?

[Optima25]

L-Arginine

[MjDubbb]

Everything they are a very great company. If i had to pick one it would be there weight gainer...it helped me put on alot of size and strength in a short time....Also some fat. But ON RULES!

The NO xplode works the best for me. Much better than muscle tech's stuff of the jackd3d.

Or maybe I just like seeing that Lemon-Lime radioactive green color it makes when I mix it. Makes me feel like the Hulk with some Gamma bomb power haha.

lol, I thought the same thing.

I tried a sample of Cellucor NO3 Chrome along with my normal dose of Amino Energy and felt like the pumps were better. I tried to stick to my normal set and rep range to keep everything thing consistent.

NOXPLODE= instant mud butt for me and all ive spoken with

[Times Roman]

L-Arginine

agree. if you want a NO response, then just get the main ingredient responsible. Arginine.

why include all the other BS that drives up the price?

[fries]

IIRC Arginine has no effect.

You want Beet Root juice.

Yes copy-pasta from bb.com

No effect of short-term arginine supplementation on nitric oxide production, metabolism and performance in intermittent exercise in athletes.

Arginine supplementation has been shown to alleviate endothelial dysfunction and improve exercise performance through increasing nitric oxide production in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. In addition, arginine supplementation could decrease accumulations of lactate and ammonia, metabolites involved in development of muscular fatigue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term arginine supplementation on performance in intermittent anaerobic exercise and the underlying mechanism in well-trained male athletes. Ten elite male college judo athletes participated with a randomized crossover, placebo-controlled design. The subjects consumed 6 g/day arginine (ARG trial) or placebo (CON trial) for 3 days then performed an intermittent anaerobic exercise test on a cycle ergometer. Blood samples were collected before supplementation, before and during exercise and 0, 3, 6, 10, 30 and 60 min after exercise. ARG trial had significantly higher arginine concentrations than CON trial at the same time point before, during and after exercise. In both trials, nitrate and nitrite concentration was significantly higher during and 6 min after exercise comparing to the basal concentration. The increase in nitrate and nitrite concentration during exercise in both trials was parallel to the increase in plasma citrulline concentrations. There was no significant difference between the 2 trials in plasma nitrate and nitrite, lactate and ammonia concentrations and peak and average power in the exercise. The results of this study suggested that short-term arginine supplementation had no effect on nitric oxide production, lactate and ammonia metabolism and performance in intermittent anaerobic exercise in well-trained male athletes.

L-arginine supplementation in peripheral arterial disease: no benefit and possible harm.

BACKGROUND: L-arginine is the precursor of endothelium-derived nitric oxide, an endogenous vasodilator. L-arginine supplementation improves vascular reactivity and functional capacity in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in small, short-term studies. We aimed to determine the effects of long-term administration of L-arginine on vascular reactivity and functional capacity in patients with PAD. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Nitric Oxide in Peripheral Arterial Insufficiency (NO-PAIN) study was a randomized clinical trial of oral L-arginine (3 g/d) versus placebo for 6 months in 133 subjects with intermittent claudication due to PAD in a single-center setting. The primary end point was the change at 6 months in the absolute claudication distance as assessed by the Skinner-Gardner treadmill protocol. L-arginine supplementation significantly increased plasma L-arginine levels. However, measures of nitric oxide availability (including flow-mediated vasodilation, vascular compliance, plasma and urinary nitrogen oxides, and plasma citrulline formation) were reduced or not improved compared with placebo. Although absolute claudication distance improved in both L-arginine- and placebo-treated patients, the improvement in the L-arginine-treated group was significantly less than that in the placebo group (28.3% versus 11.5%; P=0.024). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with PAD, long-term administration of L-arginine does not increase nitric oxide synthesis or improve vascular reactivity. Furthermore, the expected placebo effect observed in studies of functional capacity was attenuated in the L-arginine-treated group. As opposed to its short-term administration, long-term administration of L-arginine is not useful in patients with intermittent claudication and PAD.

[Van Suka]

10g L-Arginine before workout.

[Gaspaco]

I do CYTOSPORT MONSTER PUMP right now, works good!

[Times Roman]

L-Arginine

this

inexpensive, and it works

plus if you take 5-7 grams before bed on an empty stomach, it's a HGH secretague

[RescuesPitbulls]

I use Hemavol with some caffeine tabs.

I like Hemavol for it's lack of stims. Most NO boosters give me the runs.

[blemshow]

Jetfuze by GAT... Grate pumps on jetfuze one of my favourite NO products. 2-3 scoops will provide grate focus and intensity!

[blemshow]

However I might add the artificial sugers may cause upset stomachs over prolonged use. Strong product one must cycle it!

[Naseem13579]

AAKG powder

[fitnesstrainer]

Late to the party on this one but the best would be Citrulline powder and AAKG powder

[rahulsingh265]

L-arginine

[austinite]

arginine/cutruline.

[Silvercrank]

NO Explode is the best pre workout i have ever tried, white flood is another good one, not a fan of jack3d.

[Synhax]

NO explode is pretty good. Also use their AminoX BCAAs, can't tell if they do anything tbh
