Manufacturer's Description
NO2 has created a revolutionary new category of muscle-builders and muscle-enhancers known as 'cell-signaling hemodilators.' Through mediation of the "signaling-molecule" nitric oxide (NO), NO2 induces powerful hemodilation and creates dramatic increases in muscle size, strength, endurance, power output, and load capacity.
With its advanced sustained-release technology "pHyser3", NO2 generates a virtual permanent muscle pump, now known as the "perpetual pump."
NO2 was created by the same man who introduced creatine to the market in 1993 - Ed Byrd, co-founder of EAS™ and now president of Medical Research Institute - MRI™.
NO2 creates - and sustains - levels of nitric oxide in the skeletal muscles.
Nitric oxide is the muscle's "cell-signaling" molecule responsible for blood flow (hemodilation), oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity, power output, and muscle growth.
By creating and then "sustaining" levels of nitric oxide in the skeletal muscles NO2 delivers sustained muscle-enhancing benefits around the clock. Like amplifying muscle-growth signals for faster gains in lean mass, accelerating both fast and slow twitch muscle fiber for greater strength, providing complete "full-body muscle recovery," and increasing endurance index (EI).
In addition, NO2's sustained hemodilation (continuous and amplified blood-surge to the skeletal muscles) generates a perpetual pump.
NOTE: Before the introduction of NO2, hemodilation occurred only during intense exercise, and lasted for a relatively brief time. Now, with NO2's extended-release delivery system pHyser3, it is possible for hemodilation to last all day long. That means greater results and faster gains for you. And, of course, a "Perpetual Pump."
No other supplement or substance can create nitric oxide levels in skeletal muscle. No other supplement or substance can "sustain" levels of nitric oxide in skeletal muscle. No other supplement or substance can generate a continual and amplified blood-surge (hemodilation) to the skeletal muscles.
Until the creation of NO2's extended-release delivery system (pHyser3), generating and maintaining nitric oxide levels was impossible. The human body's pH factor literally "dissolved" any agent or substance that could help generate nitric oxide inside the body. Now, with NO2's pH-corrected, body-compatible delivery system, pHyser3, the human body is able to not only "accept" the nitric oxide delivery agent, but also sustain levels of nitric oxide in the muscles throughout the entire day.
Now athletes and bodybuilders can finally get all the powerful benefits of hemodilation - all day long. Including faster gains in muscle mass, increased strength and endurance, and the creation of the "Perpetual Pump."
Hemodilation means a widening of the blood channels leading to skeletal muscles through the mechanism of "amplified" blood flow.
The word 'Hemodilation' comes from combining 'Hemo' [from the Greek word 'haima' meaning blood] and 'Dilator' [from the Latin word 'dilatare' meaning to widen]. The measure of the widening of the blood canals is calculated by the "dilation differential™" - known as d-delta™.
Hemodilation is initiated by nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide is the "cell-signaling" molecule responsible for blood flow, oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity, power output, and gene-expression, or muscle growth. By sustaining nitric oxide levels in the skeletal muscles, NO2 generates its sustained hemodilation. The channels that deliver muscle building agents to the muscle cells become "forced open" and remain that way throughout the day. The results are faster gains in lean mass, greater strength, increased endurance, complete full-body muscle recovery, and a "perpetual pump."
NOTE: Hemodilation is a new term that came into existence with the discovery of nitric oxide (NO). Under ordinary circumstances hemodilation lasts only briefly. With the creation of NO2, however, and the sustained NO levels it generates in the skeletal muscle, "sustained hemodilation" became a reality. The word hemodilation, as applied to NO2, means "sustained hemodilation."
"What I started with creatine, I perfected with NO2."
How does NO2's "hemodilation" compare to creatine's "cell-volumization?"
Because Ed Byrd introduced both creatine and NO2, he says it best...
"As you probably know, creatine causes 'cell-volumizing' by pulling water into the small space 'inside' the muscle cell. It does increase size, but you may look a little 'puffy.' NO2's hemodilation, on the other hand, creates genuine size by forcing blood into the vast and voluminous spaces 'between' the muscle cells. Not 'inside' the cells. This 'super-engorging' creates massive pumps. What's more, because the blood is between the cells not inside them, the pump is rock-hard. Not 'puffy.'
And with the extended-release delivery system pHyser3, the pump does not go away. You get what's known as a 'perpetual pump.'
Frankly, my recommendation to bodybuilders would be to take both creatine and NO2. I look at it this way, what I started with creatine, I perfected with NO2."
