To those of you who take Nitric Oxide.

Hi,

Due to my budget being fairly tight at the moment, a little advice would be much appreciated :D

I've heard nitric oxide tabs can give you a great pump in the gym, but most websites seem to insist on using them 3 times daily. seeing as I can't afford this, am I going to notice any difference in the gym if i just pop 3 tabs before each workout?

thanks
 
You do understand that's ALL it does...makes you pumped up. Doesn't actually DO ANYTHING beneficial...unless you have a soft weiner.

Nitric supps are amazing at giving men boners, which is probably their best use.

So, to answer your question, no you won't see any difference at the gym using them 3x a day vs. once a day since they don't do anything in the gym.
 
The reason it makes you pumped up is because more blood is flowing that area of your body. In theory that will allow your body to more quickly remove lactic acid and provide nutrients to your muscles. You probably don't want to take those tabs 3 times per day, unless you are training 3 times per day. Stick to using them or pre-workout powder like NO Xplode, or one of the many others, about 20 minutes before you train.

And to be clear, I've not yet seen an independent study done that proves this theory. NO sells like hotcakes because you take it and you actually FEEL it do something...but that something has yet to be proven beneficial.

I have, however seen some scattered reports of intestinal bleeding either being caused, or exacerbated by taking Nitric Oxide products.

So, I have two reasons to skip taking it (unproven, potentially unsafe to some people) and no real good reason to take it.
But the supplement companies sure appreciate the business :)
 
Haha thanks for the advice, I can't be bothered to spend the money for something that sounds like utter crap.

although if i ever need a boner at the gym ill bare that in mind thanks ;)
 
I can safely say from experience that nitric oxide tabs or pills are not worth the money. I have tried several dozen over the course of my lifting career and they are a waste of money compared to nitic oxide powders. Powders such as N.O. Explode or Jack3d are far more worth your money, work better, and best of all- CHEAPER! Go with those if you are really into using a nitric oxide supplement, they truly work.

Hey Alex, I've never heard this statement before. Can you please explain why N.O. pills and tabs are not beneficial, but N.O. powders ARE beneficial? Supplements are definitely not my strong point, but I'm failing to see why there would be a difference.

Can you also please explain how N.O. supplements "work"? It seems as though the comments in the thread have already covered the supposed effects, but if you have anything different to add, that would be much appreciated.
 
L-Arginine is really the main ingredient in nitric oxide supplements that gives you the pump. They just recommend an extremely high serving of about 3000mg per day. You can buy L-Arginine by itself in capsules from any supplement store for a quarter of the price of any N.O. supplement and get the same effect.
