Hi all, anyone tried them N.O capsules yet, if so what do you think.
I tried one Tub of them and alongside the juice i was getting good pumps, but overall I think they're too expensive for little benefit...What do you guy's think

Which ones did u try???

If my memory serves me correctly L-arginine raises Nitric oxide and this is a natural amino acid.
Side effect is harder erections.
Supposedly (I have the article at home) Viagra raises NO and this is the reason for stronger erections.
So grab some L-arginine and check it out.
It is cheap too, and non toxic.

heres what iv just found researching it

L-arginine, What is it?

You can buy L-arginine as a nutritional supplement. It's one of a group of chemicals called amino acids, which your body uses to make proteins.

To make an erection happen, nerves in your penis need to make a chemical called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is made from L-arginine, so doctors think that taking L-arginine might help you get an erection.

You can buy L-arginine on its own or as part of supplements. You can't get it as a prescription but it is available in health food shops and on the Internet.

How can it help?

We're not sure whether L-arginine can help. More research is needed to see if it can give you erections.

Why should it work?

L-arginine is changed into nitric oxide by a chemical reaction in the body. Nitric oxide makes the spongy parts of your penis fill with blood. This is what happens when you get an erection. So, in theory, L-arginine could help you get an erection because your body will have more nitric oxide.

See What are erection problems? to learn more about how erections happen.

Can it be harmful?

In one small study, some men with erection problems took L-arginine. Some of these men had:1
A small drop in blood pressure
Small changes in heart rate.
But neither of these side effects caused any harm.

In other studies, people with different conditions got some other side effects when they took L-arginine:2
Feeling sick
Diarrhoea
Headaches
Flushing (getting red in the face)
Feeling numb.

Might be worth a try just trying this stuff first mate

I used the E.A.S brand N.O 5 i think they were.Like I said they were good but not worth £30 every 3 weeks

In my position I should really be impartial, but for me nitrix by bsn is streets ahead of every other nitric oxide product currently available. Although, having said that I've not tried pump tech by muscletech which looks very good also (but is more expensive).

Most no2 products are solely based on arginine (about 3g of aakg) but nitrix has other good ingredients.

Arginine has now been identified as the main source of the primary molecule responsible for penile erections, nitric oxide. Quite simply, L-arginine supplies the nitrogen - N - that the body uses to build NO from nitrogen and oxygen - O.

Viagra makes my face red while it makes my penis hard.
I know it is working when my face is red

So if L-arginine is making your face read then I would be willing to bet it is making your Johnson hard too.

Lets do this the easy way, L-arginine is an amino acid that the body does not produce so you have to take it in either in food source or supplementation.
Foods high in L-arginine are dairy products, nuts, chicken, turkey and other fowl.

L-arginine supplements can lower blood pressure in general by enhancing dilation of arteries.

They have done studies blocking L-argenine called L-NAME, kindof an anti-arginine in animals and guess what?
No erections were found.

L-arginine seems to work better on younger men than older men.
Older men are less responsive to L-arginine and their is no firm explination for this other than it is possible that atherosclerosis was inhibiting blood flow to the penis.

L-arginine and Viagra both these substances accomplish the same thing by elevation of cGMP leading to vascular muscle relaxation.
Viagra inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE), which normally breaks down cGMP, the substance that actually causes arterial smooth muscle to relax.
The more cGMP, the more the penile blood vessels relax, the better the erection.

Under normal circumstances, NO (produced from dietary L-arginine) binds to the enzyme guanylate cyclase, forming new cGMP.
Increasing the amount of L-arginine increases the amount of NO formed.
3 grams a day is good for erections.

Other supplements that promote erections (sorry for the hyjack) are
Yohimbe (one of my favorites but can raise blood pressure.
Horny Goat Weed
Ginseng
Muira puama
Ginko biloba

Again sorry for the hyjack.

L-arginine is cheap and add L-ornithine just before bed is known to raise HGH levels during sleep.
Now that sounds good to me.
