    NO2 Exposed!

    I've seen lots of positive feedback about NO2, but because of the expense, i've stayed away. I mean, the cheapest I've been able to find the stuff for is $45, for a one month supply. That's a pure and utter rip-off, especially how it costs them a few bucks on the bottle to produce, probably less because of the bulk they do it in.

    Well, anywayz I decided to take a look at what the stuff really is...



    quote:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Supplement Facts:
    Serving Per Container: 60
    Serving Size 3 Caplets
    Amount Per Serving
    Arginine alpha-Ketoglutarate 3000 mg

    Inactive Ingredients:
    MRI's exclusive pHyser3 delivery system formulation consists of calcium phosphate, cellulose ethers and composites, and magnesium steartate.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------




    All the supplement really is the amino acid arginine.

    This seems remarkably familiar to the story we all know too well, of ZMA - the overpriced mineral combo.


    What about the magical pHyser3 delivery system? Here's MRI says about it:


    quote:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The secret of the continuous surge of blood lies in NO2's exclusive nitric oxide extended-release delivery system pHyser3™.

    Until the creation of extended-release delivery system, generating and maintaining nitric oxide levels was impossible. The body 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, the human body is able to fully "accept" the nitric oxide delivery agent. And even better...

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    Most of that is pure crap. How would Viagra work if this were true? Viagra works by increasing Nitric Oxide levels in the body. However, not all of the MRI (the makers of NO2) claims are false. The stomach's PH levels can interfere with the process. Viagra took care of this by adding a citrate to their product (viagra = sildenafil citrate).

    And anyways, the ingredients they used are all common fillers found in most bargain brand vitamins.


    I find it funny, the way they call their delivery 'pHyser3', and the maker of Viagra is Pfizer (same pronunciation).


    ==============================================

    So i've told you how overpriced NO2 is, but I also told you that there are positive responses for the stuff. Quite the dilemma, eh? Well, not to worry amigos, because I have the answer: A HOMEMADE NO2.

    How are we going to homemake this stuff you ask? Well, we have two things to look at. First, the arginine.

    So far, the cheapest yet highest quality argnine i've found is the one made by a company called "Now". They come in 120 capsule bottles of 1000 mg. arginine caps.

    To achieve the doseage of NO2, you would have to take 3 tablets of this stuff twice daily, so that's 6 caps per day. This stuff comes in a 120 cap. bottle, so that's a 20 day supply. But NO2 comes in a 30 day supply! Oh no. You have to buy two bottles of Now's arginine. The cheapest I've seen this stuff go for is $10.80 per bottle. So for a one month supply, you spend a little more than $15, and you still have 60 caps left over.
    (Note - bodybuilding.com doesn't sell the stuff made by now, but they do have 500 mg. caps made by ultimate nutrition - http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/un/argini.html

    (******* sells the now one w/ FREE shipping)


    Actually, b/c NO2 has a more high absorbed form of Arginine than pure arginine, i'd recommend a higher doseage if your taking it pure. Somewhere around 10-15 grams per day


    Next, the 'delivery' system. The best way to take care of this is to take your arginine with a glass of OJ. The OJ will adjust your stomach pH levels to the levels they need to be at, and the sugar will help raise insulin levels with will increase the argnine uptake.

    Now if you get arginine in its pure form and take like 7 to 8 capsules a day how would that be absorption be closer to what you get from NO2? When should you take this stuff, 45 min before lifting like NO2 or part before you lift and some another time during the day? Also what about creatine with it. NO2 says to stop creatine 10 days before for you take it and dont start creatine again until you are on it for i think 10 days. Thank you for the post and sorry for all of the questions.

    alright so does it suck b/c it doesnt work period or b/c it cost too much? Is it even worth it to just buy the arginine like Satan said or not even at that price? Even with the NOX3 being more powerful and cheaper is this worth it?

    Well, its overpriced for what it is. Arganine increases cell volume. Cell volume is linked with anabolism, so a legit and effective cell volumizer is certainly conducive to growth.

    I visit all the big boards and I have yet to see any positive feedback in general. Mostly one or two guys that say it works and gets ripped for it.

    Most of that is pure crap. How would Viagra work if this were true? Viagra works by increasing Nitric Oxide levels in the body.
    Wrong.

    Viagra works by preventing the decrease of cyclic GMP, which is formed in response to Nitric Oxide levels.

    the sugar will help raise insulin levels with will increase the arginine uptake.
    This is unnecessary as arginine is itself a very good insulin potentiator. In fact, MHP uses arginine instead of sugar in its "TRAC" creatine product.

    (Which does not mean I disagree with your overall point... dilating all of one's blood vessels seems to be a somewhat dangerous approach to take)

    What is the deal with NOX3? I have tried NO2 with good results (215-220 in 6 weeks). I was thinking of trying NOX3 because it is so much cheaper, but is it just as good?

    I am using the transdermal version found in www.bodybuilding.com, it is only $19.95 so I had to try ...

    The only thing that I could notice was the pump ... but no gains.

    there are a number of people who are PROMOTING NO2 on this and other boards. they masquerade as completely independent yet you must take what they say with a grain of salt. it smells fishy when you read their glowing reports of positive results from this or other products from the same company. they will post a couple of non-positive comments in order to throw off the scent but it's rather obvious what they are doing. for some reason, they affiliate themselves with a particular company. usually for their own interests. be aware.

    NO2 - the overwhelming consensus is that it doesn't do anything but make your wallet leaner. spend your 60 bucks on food.

    having said all this and I am not the only one to have said this or similar things, there are always people who refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of others and wish to try everything that is advertised in the magazines or on the boards. Any one remember smilax? good luck to ya.!

    I bought NO2 on Wednesday night and started it Thursday morning taking 6 pills total per day. I can't really say that I have noticed any significant changes. The first day that I took it, I felt a little bit more energized, but yesterday, I felt tired. Starting from Thursday through this morning, I've lost 2.5 lbs. It's too early to say if NO2 is really doing anything, but I'll let you know.

    you are tired as you are dieting, for whatever reason. NO2 has nothing to so with you being tired or your weight loss.
    By what criteria are you going to decide that NO2 has done anything? this is what makes these supplements so difficult to properly assess: people diet while taking them, or start training harder for a contest or start eating more or better food.
    people give NO2 the credit for a 5 pound weight gain over a 6 week period. of course, what they will say is that they didn't change anything other than eat a bit more or maybe they tightened up their training...

    Of course, its your money and you should spend you money on whatever you want.

    Actually- i did not change my diet one bit when I started taking NO2. I weigh my food out for every meal and eat the same amount of calories every day, so I'm pretty sure the NO2 has worked, my question is whether or not other Nitric Oxide supplements such as NOX3 work.

    or from the wonderful people on this board ( and others ) who are not so subtly promoting the product and the company.

    Tangent here - most people have learned to quietly ignore the posters who continually, tirelessly and quite shamelessly promote company A or product B on these threads. Prince is to be commended for his patience. However, it does seem to be going against him financially as he has paying sponsors for the very same threads in which others freely promote other products. it's one thing to state that you enjoyed a product but its quite another to go on and on and on.....

    Shain liked it and that's all he said. good enough
    Mousie is holding judgement- seems fair.
    I don't feel a need to try it. - good enough.
    the ads look very good for it....

    Actually I would believe NO2 was a good product if I heard people "on here" that have tried it say good things about it but from threads i the past on here,,,,those that tried it said it was overpriced and not worth the money.
    ************************

    Tangent here - most people have learned to quietly ignore the posters who continually, tirelessly and quite shamelessly promote company A or product B on these threads.

    Call it what you will but when you find a company or a product that you "have tried" and know works extremely well you will let people here know about it. That is what the supplement area is for! I can honestly say that I've learned a great deal from reading what people say in here about supplements. I've take the advise of come of these people as well as what TO try and what NOT to waste my money on and I have to be totally totally honest when I say, I've never promoted a product without trying it 1st and 2ndly saw something special about it.

    I urge you to go and check out ANY other Forum where people do not talk about, promote, or give the thumbs up/down on products other then those sponsered by the site.

    I can see it now: PLease post your opinions on supplements that your using..as long as they are listed above as one of our sponsors. hahaha
    OK there would be like 10 posts. Get real bro.
    *********************

    the ads look very good for it....

    Advertisements are made to sell a companies product. Of course the ads look good. They looked good for all the "failed" supplements in the past as well. The BEST advertisement is one given by people like myself that gain NOTHING by doing so. Nobody is paying me to say I like something or dislike something. Sure there are people on here that dis a product that they never tried but you have to have some intelligence when you pick who you take advise from.
    Personnally I take advise from those that have tried a certain product. Not by those that just jump on a bandwagon.

    Peace

    Firstorm,

    We actually agree more than we disagree. The "shameless promoting" i wrote about was not the " oh,i have tried this product and thought it was pretty good " sort of comment. Everyone enjoys reading that sort of comment. And just as many people see through the other type of posts in which the person goes over board in their enthusiasm. i am not the only person to have noticed that by some of the posts, you would swear that it was a paid endorsement rather than just " hey i took this and it seems to have done something." There are entire threads about this 'non-disclosed competing interests" issue.

    The advertisement comment of mine was to be taken as sarcasm; the ads look good mainly because the product couldn't possibly live up to the promotion.

    I also made the comment somewhere that smilax is out there; surely no one would assume that i actually thought that smilax was worth a try.

    so, to reiterate, i am not referring to people who quite good intentionally, write a positive or negative comment about a product. Of course, having pointed this out, the offending people will now alter their mode of posting so that it is not so over the top.

    Try boron. it apparently increase testosterone like wildfire... or, perhaps like a firestorm

    Im new to this post, and I noticed all the bad Criticism N02 is getting... Before I started N02 I weighed 155 pounds I had been busting my ass trying to lose some much needed body fat, I droped down to 140 pounds and around 8% body fat. I wanted the lean look, but when I got there I felt punny. So I went to GNC to look for something that might help me add muscle not fat. I had no idea what I was looking for, but I bumped into N02 read the back noticed the price and asked the guy if this really works. He let me take a look at some little book about it. after an hour in the store I decided what the hell! I bought N02 and got the book, took 4 tabs twice a day just like the book said. 3 months later and like $200 later I gained a lot of strength and 12 pounds of muscle and still around 8% body fat. I was very impressed especially since all the added muscle was upper body, due to the fact that I never worked out my legs. Yeah, I know thats stupid to ignore your legs. The book said I was should experince a "perpetual pump", even though I loved the increased muscle and great pumps at the gym, the pumps were never long lasting like the ad said. Also I stoped use after the three months because of my lack of cash, and when I tried to get back on I did not get the same feeling that I got the first time on it. Who knows? but what I do know is that the muscle I gained from those first 3 months is still with me today many months since any N02 use.
