Whenever I go to the gym and tell a friend that I've recently started
the supplement, Nitric Oxide, nobody knows what I'm talking about but I even mention Creatine, and that is well known as a standard for building muscle.

Could Nitric Oxide type supplements be the next Creatine?  When Creatine was launched, it was expensive.  But it worked.  It was a huge craze at the gyms and most everybody wanted it.  The reason they wanted it so much, is that it worked.  It was legal and the side-effects, well so far, there aren't any (as long as you drink plenty of fluids).  Since the launching of this successful product, there has never been anything that hit the market with the same enthusiasm.

Nitric Oxide, according to research , "the first of an exciting new category
of muscle-enhancers known as a hemodilators. NO2 has the unique ability to perpetually sustain the flow of muscle-building agents to skeletal muscle." -Source: GetNO2 Before I give my review, I'd like to share another quote of the benefits and claims.  "By increasing nitric oxide production, NO2 increases your maximum
contractile velocity - in all muscle types. The results are immediate and consequential, and include increasing your load capacity, boosting your power output, and quickening your muscle contraction." -Source: GetNO2

When I first was asked to try this product, I was sceptical.  I've been
bodybuilding for 16 years now (mainly for general fitness not to get
freaky huge), and I've tried a lot of supplements.  The last time I was
excited about a supplement was Creatine like most of the gym-rats.  But
I'm always willing to review something and try it for myself in hopes that maybe I'll find that gem and tell the rest of the world.

Taking 3 pills before breakfast, and another 3 one-half hour before
lunch, I can honestly say that while I've noticed no gains in strength yet, my muscle do feel perpetually pumped. It's like I just came back from the gym but it lasts all day.  While I cannot say the results are amazing, I can say the effects - both physical and psychological - are extraordinary.

As with any supplement, you need to drink plenty of water.  Most Nitric Oxide supplements usually do not have this specific requirement, but I've noticed that being properly hydrated has helped me keep that pump going all day.  I've also seen some recommendations that taking Nitric Oxide with Creatine gives a complementary effect.  To date, I have not tried this.

NO2 Side Effects  

I've taken this product several times and I've experience no side effects.  Does that mean there are no NO2 side effects?  Truthfully, at the time of this web article, I cannot say.  Where's the research?  The long term studies?  Just because one person takes NO2 and experiences no side effects, doesn't mean it's a fact.  But the fact is, I've taken several brands and either experienced no effects but certainly I've not experienced any negative NO2 side effects of any kind.

While some claim that this supplement to be just more marketing bull with no research to back the claims Nitric Oxide is making, I don't know what to tell you.  It seems to be working for me.  Maybe it's a placebo.  But as we know. it really doesn't matter much as long as there are no side effects and it gets results (even if those results come from a psychological factor).  Give a man a sugar pill and if he benches 405lb, who cares.

Updates:

The price has come down on NO2 supplements.  There's still little to no actual research.  I've still experienced no NO2 side effects.  And I've found a few products to be ineffective and give me no pumps, no results and others, I feel a lot stronger.
