Do you have a moral objection to using the search feature on this site?

and is NO2 bad for you at all? does it cause any long term side effects if i dont cycle or quit using it?

Of course you should cycle all supplements such as CEE and NO. If not for your health, then at least for the fact that they lose effectiveness after extended long-term use.

thanks 40yd for the reply, how much is too much of a time period of using CEE, etc.

Usually, I'm 6-8 weeks on, and then a good 3-4 weeks off.

I disagree, your body does not build up a tolerance to CEE so there is no need to cycle it. You also don't need to cycle protein as these are basic muscle building components. You may want to cycle NO products and especially NO Xplode because your body can build up a tolerance to the NO boosters and because its has so much caffeine, your body will build up a tolerance to that as well making it less effective. However, if you only use NO Xplode only 4 or 5 days a week ( a lot of us only use it on days that we workout) you do not need to cycle it either. If you are taking it daily you should take a week off every 5-6 weeks.

thanks jerry, ur reply was helpful as hell

Why? Because it is what you wanted to hear.

When did I say that you are suppose to cycle protein, and multi-vitamins? Please direct me back to that quote. And I disagree with you, you reach a point with "certain" supplements where they begin to lose their effects on you, and it is a point of diminishing returns.

I see no reason to cycle CEE.
