How are your results so far with NO2. Anyone else use it yet.

Been taking it for about 2 weeks,main difference I've noticed is increased vascularity,I swear I've had at least 3 people comment on the changes in the last week so I think I'm being objective about it. I look more vascular than I did at the end of my last EQ cycle. I'm on my last week of durabolin/prop so to me the true test will be to see how well this helps me hold on when I'm comming off AAS. I know 2 guys at my gym who are also plaesed with their results so far but both have only been trying it for about a month.

Its arginine alpha-ketogluterate,AKG,trade name is NO2. It was developed by the guy who launched creatine. The commercial site is getno2.com if you want to check it out.
Heres an excerpt:
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."
How much of this is science and how much is marketing bullshit is the next question. I did find a few studies showing benificial effects of AKG. The cheapest price I've seen on it so far is at affordablesupplements.com (57$/month supply)

Thanks Deca. I am going to have to give it a try between my cycles here.

I hear ya Dent. I did my share of that sh1t in my younger days. Actually, it's N2O. A good friend of the family who is a dentist just had a son die from it. He was cleaning his dad's office on the weekend. Got in the chair, hooked himself up to the mask and went off into NANANAnana land....
