Nitric Oxide anyone?

[The Dude]

Any of you still use these products? What's a good one? How are you using it? Daily, preworkout? Don't most of them stop working at about 4 weeks or so?
I really want to try something new and I use to love these

Taze 3 from complete nutrition is a new product a few guys i know really like they really like the pumps and energy with out the crash and the shaky feelings u sometimes get from other supps. I just started it a few days ago I like the energy and my heart doesn't race like with sum other pre workouts. I can tell my muscles seem to hold the pump better im talking for days By days i mean i hadnt worked out in three days and my bis anf forearms feel tight and full. It also has test booster in it. I will keep u up to date as i sad ive only taken for 4 workouts. Also its pricey like 60 bucks for 40 servings.

Taze sounds interesting. The only one I've tried was NO explode and I liked it ok, pretty good pumps and no crash, but I've got nothing to compare it to.

NO EXPLODE tore my stomach up. I tried the huge horse pills from Muscletech years ago and those worked well, but I had to take them like an hour before my workout

Im a fan of Arginine nitrates if you are looking for a straight nitric oxide. The pump seems to stick forever. though like any other product you will eventually grow a tolerance to it. The preworkout previously mentioned sits way too heavy for me... Adding Citrulline to your Arginine supplements will help your body resist growing a tolerance to it and improve pumps. Some people have really jumped on agmatine but I have only tried it in one pre never tried it stand alone. Though I sale tons of it.

 

[freakinthegym]

Yeah not a fan of no xplode

Did you ever get the chance to try the original formula? That was good stuff... this newer stuff though Pft... When is it ok to use brand names on these posts? I was reading another thread where something was deleted because someone used the product name or company name of a product that isn't sponsored on this site?

I like NO Xplode personally, but I know it causes a lot of problems with people's stomachs. I've taken a bunch, but haven't really found any that I'm really keen on

In my opinion, GPLC is the BEST no product on the market, hands down!!! The BEST brand I've found is mhp NO BOMB. It has GPLC and a couple other ingredients to potentiate the effects even more.

As far as arginine based no supps, it's smart to AVOID THEM, AT ALL COSTS!! Arginine, in large amts(as used in most no supps) can and does cause pancreatitis!(I have a good friend that just had to have surgery on pancreas, and is permanently damaged! That person can't ever eat a high protein diet again, and has to be very selective in what is eaten, as it causes SEVERE pain as well as elevating pancreatic enzymes)... Arginine is actually used in medical research to CAUSE pancreatitis(in rats), in order to study it... Look on the labels, there are many forms, and they aren't always spelled out(aakg, l-arginine, akg, etc, etc)...
I know of one preworkout no drink that has reformulated their product to contain no arginine(superpump max), and NO BOMB is arginine free... Nearly all the others contain it to some degree... Check labels guys, it's not worth destroying one of your most vital organs, to good health!

I won't dispute the idea that arginine can cause problems... Anything used outside of moderation can... Creatine, arginine, DMAA etc etc but for the general use of it in appropriate doses it is not harmful... but just like slin, test, even protein... you run risks when supplementing it above and beyond recommended doses. Arginine in different forms such as alpha keto glutarate or a-alpha or arginine nitrate or whatever form you choose are all broke down differently so I would be interested to know which is more "pancriatic-ly deadly"... its never something I have heard is harmful in general use.

The second part of your quote here... there are many many many preworkouts that do not contain arginine... the new nano vapor, myo-blitz, and probably twenty others that you can get online only. If you are interested in taking these arginine statements to heart just look for agmatine or citrulline based pre workouts...

Do you mean full on preworkout? or just an NO supplement? no stand alone NO sup should make you jittery. My favorite is No3 I just love the way the pump holds. Pre-workout is hard to say the best... I have about 5 that I alternate through lol it depends on what you look for most out of your pre... Craze has lots of energy lacks pump... Myo-blitz has insane focus but lacks energy, Nzero has great pump and endurance but I crash on it... No xplode has great pump good energy and is about the best colon cleanse you can buy... jacked and 1mr mess with my blood sugar so I dont like them. The best of all time I say was SP250... best pre workout ever.
