The most common active ingredient is L-Arginine (in the form of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate), one of the 20 most common amino acids. NO2 is a vasodilator, which means that it widens the blood vessels allowing more blood, and with it more oxygen, to travel through the body. This puts more oxygen into your muscles, allowing you to work harder, for a longer period of time, without fatigue. This influx of blood to the muscles also helps to increase the "pump" of your muscles generally received from working out.
Nitric Oxide side effects include:
- Slight tingling feeling in the hands and face (usually goes away after 20 minutes)
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Allergic Reactions
- Asthma can be made worse
- If you have herpes, this can make it worse. The herpes virus uses L-Arginine to multiply.
- Most of these seem to be temporary, and should go away after a week or so of use.
Always make sure to check with your doctor before starting to use any supplements, even a multi-vitamin. This is not a complete list of nitric oxide side effects, but these are the most common. Take it from me, if anything feels wrong, get to the doctor. If it turns out to not be from NO2, oh well - better safe than sorry. I almost died because I didn't go to the doctor when I first started having stomach problems (from my Crohn's) because I was too damn stubborn and macho to go.
I have used other brands of nitric oxide before (and absolutely love it), and have recently heard some great things about Jack3d, by USP Labs. I just ordered it, so I will let everyone know what I think of this particular brand in a few days. If it is as good as everyone is telling me, then this is probably the one that I will stick with from now on. I'll let you know.
