Has anyone tried any of the Nitric Oxide boosters out there? First question being: Are they against the drug policy? Do they help with lifting recovery really??? Or are they just a bodybuilder's gimmick to put a pump on and look huge but do no real good?? I was considering trying a certain brand product because it looks like it combines creatine and nitric oxide. The fact that nitric oxide is also supposedly "poor man's viagra" has nothing to do with my decision, I assure you...  I'm not big into supplements at the moment...multivitamins, creatine and whey...just wondering if this is worth trying... |

I tried a NO product about 2 years ago. My experience was that it helped me gain a pump and some size but that was it. Nothing for strength. What has REALLY worked well for my strength gains was when I did a stack of Tribuloid and Ejaculoid. Tribuloid is all natural, nothing illegal at all and is allowed but all feds (that I know of) Ejaculoid is more for the bedroom, thats another subject so I wont go there lol...but these 2 combined really helped me make some quality strength gains and I kept them all. I am going to do another stack with Tribuloid and XFactor. Email me if you have any questions. bodebldr2000@yahoo.com
Other than that, MetRX Amped ECN has also helped me a truck load, taste great and the even flow of energy it gives helps you have the best workouts ever!

Thanks for the info man! I was afraid NOx was more of a bodybuilder gig.
I'll have to check those other items out. The only thing I worry about with some of these combo products is whether or not they have herbal / natural sources of compounds that contain banned substances...particularly psychomotor stimulants such as alkaloid compounds in Guarana and Ginseng, IIRC
I don't want to be the clown that stays clean, but drinks one of those Sobe No-Fear drinks and ends up positive for some herbal compound...that and the fact that I am generally too cheap to get overly tied up in sups.

I have talked to Goliath Labs about their supps several times, they assure me there is nothing in them illegal or anything that will make you pop positive on a test. Tribuloid is good stiff but when stacked with Ejaculoid...wow, look out ladies. lol

ToolPod,
The NO stuff is pretty much just a water retentioner. (I made that word up, how did it go over?) After you get off of it, you end up flushing your results. Zero strength, as BDBLDR already mentioned.
The sports energy drinks are pretty much caffeine dumps, with stuff like ginseng and guarana thrown in for extra jolt. No Fear has around 170 mg of caffeine, and a cup of coffee about 60 or thereabouts. Don't know if the herbals will make you test positive or not, but is the risk worth it? I mean to your ticker. All that caffeine causes me to have pre-ventricular contractions and that isn't much fun if you're squatting or deadlifting.....
Hope this helps at least a little.
God Bless.
Doug P.

Thanks for the info guys!
Water retention. Check. I was thinking it was just a "pump" booster...now I know.
As far a stimulants...I try and stay away from too much. A couple years back when the SuperNitroMegaTurboShredderBlasterFuel workout drinks had ephedrine in them I got tachycardia one day during a workout after having one. That scared me enough to go back to water. It wasn't too long after that time that ephedra was puilled from the market.
