Do nitric oxide supplements actually work? Or are they just a load of over hyped Super supplements! What do they do exactly? And how will they benefit me building muscle mass? What products are the best in the market?
I first found out about nitric oxide supplements a few years back. I wasn’t much into supplements at the time because quite simply I didn’t have a clue about them!

However, when I bought my first few tubs of protein I inquisitively began checking out other supplements online until I eventually stumbled upon a popular Nitric Oxide supplement with a well known man by the name of Ronnie Coleman on the cover.
I was shocked at his muscularity and how his thick veins ran through his body. I never saw anything like it before and I thought to myself “Jeez how does he do it?!”
Of course, there he was, posing and flexing and holding those 100lbs dumbbells on the cover of this supplement product and I thought “Nitric Oxide!” that’s how he does it!
Obviously, this nitric oxide supplement didn’t live up to my expectations. I didn’t get ‘roadmap’ veins and I didn’t get huge big chest muscles either!
No. It wasn’t. I didn’t live up to my expectation at the time but I later went back to use the exact same product years later and I actually found it quite good.
I understood that 20lbs increase in bench press was significant and that 5lbs of muscle mass is a great gain.
When a muscles contracts and it's blood vessels are dilated, a "puff" of gas appears for a brief instant and than disappears.
This gas settles into the underlying
smooth muscle
cells causing them to relax which allows a surge of blood to pass
through more
easily.
You
see, every time you do a
couple sets of curls and you feel that expanding feeling in your bicep,
it
means that nitric oxide was released into the smooth muscle, causing an
extra
surge in blood to your muscles. It gives your muscles that full feeling
and
that "puffy" look.
However,
once you finish your
workout, your muscles slowly lose the blood that it accumulated during
the
workout and it slowly goes back to normal. Certainly, the pump is one
of the
best feelings you can get and too lose it, well, sucks.
