 Argine nitric oxide based products do work to a certain extent as long as you are drinking plenty of water. AKG allows you to keep that amazing ''pumped'' look and feeling after a hard slog after your workout which is due to increased blood flow, triggered by increased Nitric Oxide release, allowing a surge of nutrient rich blood to course through your skeletal muscles. Taking caffein, ephedra and alchohol is a deffinet no no as these limit the effectiveness of the product, and l can say this from expearencing it myself, and l have found some work better than others. Maybe what that dude was saying about it beeing an artificial gain is that its not a permanent gain, once you stop taking the akg you will lose the pump. You shouldn't take AKG consistantly for more than two months max. lncreased blood flow allows thicker hair, clearer skin and improoved sexual performance, icreased strength and power reduced muscle wastage, increased muscle size and hardness, increased endurance and faster recovery time, but the down side is you've got an increased chance of getting cold sores around your mouth which is not good, hence why its best not to use it all year round plus you'll end up getting a tollerance towards it but obviously some are more sensitive than others. sorry for any confusion here but l've had to change this statement slightly since l got it mixed up with creatine, !DOH!.

You are confused. When you lift weights your body releases bursts of Nitric Oxide lasting a few seconds. Glocose and oxygen are your muscles energy sources. Exercise stimulates the release into your muscle. Nitric oxide from muscle contraction signals this release(cell signaling)....So you will be able to lift more weight, and also increase all the nutrients going to your cells, protein, glucose uptake...Hence more muscle mass!!. Muscles need fuel, the more fuel gets to the muscle the better...Of course you will lose the "pump" that you feel while using NO when you come off of it....You will not lose any of the muscle you gained while using it if you are eating correctly and not overtraining...There is a lot of literatue on this, so look it up. You really don't sound like you have done one bit of research...

The AKG from now foods is just as good as any, you actually get more arginine for your money. l only use this product just to get the pump for my workouts and any muscle gain is a bonus, it's abit like Taurine and Vanidal sulphate. lt also increases blood flow to your manhood. There's a couple of liquid forms out there which are pretty good, one beeing VPX, but you get less for your money, certainly worth a try if get no results from the tablet forms, but l must stress, water is the key for this product to work to it's full potential. lf you've got the brass then stack it with other products like Citruline Malate, Creatine, ZMA or a Pro-hormone and a good protein. Hope this helps.

Hey balrock When are you taking this and how much per serving? Do you mix it in your protein drink? how are you taking it? Chris

When taking any arginine products, they should allways be taken on an empty stomach twice a day with at least 7 hours between. On training days first thing in the morining and an hour before a workout and on non training days morning and afternoon. Make sure you've got a bottle of mineral water or filtered on hand at all times. It works quite well with protein as long as you mix it with water and its a fast acting protein like whey concentrate or isolate and not a meal replacement or a casein.

Im sorry this makes absolutely no sense/ The reason for taking on an empty stomach is for amino acid absorbtion/competition. How would a fast acting protein differ from casein anyway? As far as good products, I would combine A AKG with citrulline. Body Octane by MAN and Metabolic Pump by MRM (which is also a creatine product btw) look fairly promising. Or one could combine something like Egro's Stamin O2/ SAN's OX with Syntrax's Nitrous.
