NO2 Nitric Oxide
Nitric Oxide, a key molecule manufacturered by the body,
causes vasodilation (an expansion of the internal diameter of
blood vessels), which in turn leads to increased blood flow,
oxygen transport, delivery of nutrients to skeletal muscle and a
reduction in blood pressure. An amino acid compound called
arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (A-AKG) and
arginine-ketoisocaproate (A-KIC) can boost short term Nitric
Oxide levels. Increased strength and markedly improved stamina
can also be expected. In fact, the results may be classified
into three categories: 1) the promotion of an extended pump; 2)
signaling muscle growth and speeding recovery; 3) increasing
strength and stamina.
NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC, natural myodilators that
may help boost nitric oxide levels in your body, thereby
increasing blood flow, oxygen transport, and delivery of
nutrients to skeletal muscle.
* NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help your muscles
experience an extended pump.
* NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help your body signal
muscle growth and speed recovery.
* NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help improve your
strength and stamina.
* NO2 utilizes the A-DS Advanced Delivery System which enhances
absorption of the active compounds to insure uptake and help
sustain powerful effects around the clock.
Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?
Everyone needs nitric oxide to carry out key physiological
processes within the body. From a bodybuilder's perspective,
nitric oxide supplementation may prove useful in increasing
growth due to increases in blood flow to certain areas of the
body. Further, men suffering from erectile dysfunction may also
find supplementing with nitric oxide helpful.
Signs of deficiency include the inability to achieve and
sustain erections, physical weakness and extreme fatigue. Most
"nitric oxide" supplements contain the amino acid
Arginine-alpha-keto-glutarate.
What are the side effects?
With any amino acid containing product, overdose is a
possibility. Dosing with too much arginine can lead to diarrhea,
weakness and nausea. Clear dosing guidelines have not been
established, so it is best to do what is known as "tolerance
mapping". Take a small dosage for one week, note the benefits
and the side effects, and increase the dosage until the benefits
are maximized and the side effects minimized. Over time the two
will converge and you will hit the optimal dose.
