What Is The NO Supplement? Should I use Nitric Oxide Supplement For Bodybuilding?

NO is the chemical symbol for Nitric Oxide, it is a gas essential to ?signaling molecules.? Specifically, it properly controls blood circulation as well as regulate the functions of the stomach, brain, liver and lungs. Additionally, it is also responsible for controlling blood pressure. Significantly to men, nitric oxide helps in the dilation of the blood vessels for the occurrence of ?penile erection.?

It is said that Nitric Oxide is a helpful bodybuilding supplement. A bodybuilding supplement is responsible for muscle build-up as well as elimination of unwanted fats.

A heightened blood flow is the essential aspect of nitric oxide that is why it is important to most bodybuilders. They are benefited by the following:

- Nitric Oxide improves blood flow which makes way for nutrients to be properly delivered to the muscle cells. As a result, there is proper growth of muscles during ?adaptation and recovery stage.? - Nitric Oxide reduces potential inflammation in the body. By which, muscles are protected to tremendous stress.

Other health-related benefits of Nitric Oxide include:

- It protects an individual from the possibility of heart problems since NO aids in the protection of blood vessels.

- It aids in the proper control of platelet functioning.

- It reduces ?artery plaque.?

- It helps in the lowering of cholesterol.

There are different types of Nitric Oxide supplements available in the market.

1. MRI NO2

This type of Nitric Oxide supplement is noted as an important innovation in bodybuilding supplement. MRI NO2 is said to create a continuing ?muscle pump.?

2. BSN Nitrix

It is a non-hormonal supplement which does not contribute harm from hormonal imbalance. Its primary function is to boost nitric oxide levels in the body so that a heightened blood flow will be obtained.

There are three necessary nutrients which can be found on BSN Nitrix such as Phosphoplex, L-Citrulline, and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD.

3. Pinnacle NoX2

The important ingredients of A-AKG and A-KIC make the said product efficient to lengthen ?muscle pumps,? enlarge and revitalize muscles.

It is said that Pinnacle NoX2 is the same as MRI NO2. The only difference is with the cost of the product. The latter is more expensive.

4. Syntrax Nitrous

This type of Nitric Oxide bodybuilding supplement is a powder supplement which makes it easy to digest. The arginine ingredient mixed with malic acid makes Syntrax Nitrous effective for proper secretion of insulin, efficient pumping of muscles, production of energy and most importantly muscle recovery.

The use of the above-mentioned samples of Nitric Oxide bodybuilding supplement must first be consulted with your trainer. The need for a supplement varies from one person to another. There are possible side effects which can be encountered with the use of such products containing Nitric Oxide such as:

- High NO dosage causes diarrhea and vomiting.

- Frequent headaches.

Aside from Nitric Oxide supplements, you can obtain natural sources of the said chemical compound with food substances containing L-arginine such as meats, fish, milk products and grains.

The use of bodybuilding supplements has its own specific advantages and disadvantages. To obtain optimum result it is recommended that you take in supplements in its recommended dosage.

A bodybuilder?s physique will not be obtained with supplements alone, you need to undergo serious training, be keen with your diet and most importantly get enough rest.

Weight Training at Home vs. the Gym

Gyms are great. They offer their users the latest and greatest exercise gadgetry, well lighted spaces, wall-to-wall mirrors, and strategically placed TVs you can watch if you get tired of staring at yourself sweating.

For some people, gyms are also a place to meet folks and to enjoy camaraderie with fellow fitness buffs and fitness seekers. There are people there to spot you on difficult or potentially risky exercises, or to give you advice on the best ways to flatten a tummy or build bulging biceps.

If you can afford the fee--and, more importantly, if you have the commitment to actually go on a regular basis--by all means, join a gym.

I always advise my own clients, though, to begin their weight training program at home. There are several reasons for this:

Beginners, especially, are often self-conscious working out in front of others--particularly if those others happen to be better toned or more chiseled than they. This is not often a problem in one's own home (where you can even close the blinds if need be!).

At home, you can exercise practically any time of day or night. No need to forgo a workout because the gym is closed or it's inconvenient to get up and out the door to drive there.

Starting a workout program at home offers an inexpensive way to give weight training a tryout before committing deeply to it.

Although I happen to think that weight training is good for everyone, I know, realistically, that some individuals just aren't going to stick with it for more than a few weeks at most. It's better not to sign a gym membership contract until you know you're in it for the long haul.

Now, if you're just beginning weight training, and you're going to do it at home, please don't rush out and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on equipment. You can easily embark on your new workout adventure for less than a hundred bucks. I recommend the following:

A set of dumbbells. For most people in average condition, a good starter set would consist of two 10-pound and two 15-pound weights, with perhaps a couple of 25-pound weights to grow into. If you feel yourself to be weaker or less fit than average, you could get a couple of 5- or 8- pounders as well and use these lighter weights as you accustom yourself to the exercises.

An exercise bench. A basic bench (non-adjustable) will serve you fine, but if you can spring for it, get one that lets you vary the angle of the back piece. Some of the best exercises to help you rapidly build muscles require that your body be inclined while you perform them.

An exercise mat. On a recent visit to a Target store I found 6 different "exercise mats" and another 8 "yoga mats" (which will also work for our purposes). Try to find one that will accommodate your entire length when lying stretched out on it. It should also be reasonably comfortable. You won't be using the mat for your weights workout, but rather for doing supplementary exercises such as abdominal crunches and leg raises.

If you find yourself taking to weight training and decide you want to make it a regular part of your life for a long time to come, then--and only then--you can look at purchasing additional equipment, such as heavier dumbbells, barbells or a cable weight machine. Some people, of course, end up going all out and building an actual gym in their home.

Nevertheless, the basic equipment as outlined above should meet your workout needs for the first few months--and possibly for much longer.
