Nitric Oxide Powder Benefits

Yes, most nitric oxide powders work but first we must research what your goals are. As mentioned in the nitric oxide studies page, nitric oxide is without a doubt that is used to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thus resulting in vasodilation and increasing blood flow (source: wikipedia). This is the great effect that gives you those great pumps.

So the next question is, how do we get more nitric oxide production in our muscles? That's where AAKG, or Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, comes in. This is a precursor for nitric oxide production, and having it in your system will induce the nitric oxide-enabled pumps. Studies show that this AAKG alone gives a better bench press and provides users with more peak power.

Additionally, if you respond to caffeine, you will get the extra energy and metabolism boost from the caffeine in these products (along with caffeine's side effects).

So finally, let's rephrase the question to "do these nitric oxide products work?" -- the answer is yes, but you must beware because each of these products contain different ingredients which may or may not work. The closest study to answer this question shows that creatine in combination with AAKG improves upper body muscle endurance and peak power output. We highly recommend researching every ingredient on the labels of these products and determining if they're safe and healthy for you.
