Jak ktos zna dobrze ang. to dojdzie o co biega:)
Hey
I've seen lots of positive feedback about NO2, but because of the expense, i've stayed away. I mean, the cheapest I've been able to find the stuff for is $45, for a one month supply. That's a pure and utter rip-off, especially how it costs them a few bucks on the bottle to produce, probably less because of the bulk they do it in.
Well, anywayz I decided to take a look at what the stuff really is...

Supplement Facts:
Serving Per Container: 60
Serving Size 3 Caplets
Amount Per Serving
Arginine alpha-Ketoglutarate 3000 mg
Inactive Ingredients:
MRI's exclusive pHyser3 delivery system formulation consists of calcium phosphate, cellulose ethers and composites, and magnesium steartate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the supplement really is the amino acid arginine.
This seems remarkably familiar to the story we all know too well, of ZMA - the overpriced mineral combo.
What about the magical pHyser3 delivery system? Here's MRI says about it:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The secret of the continuous surge of blood lies in NO2's exclusive nitric oxide extended-release delivery system pHyser3™.
Until the creation of extended-release delivery system, generating and maintaining nitric oxide levels was impossible. The body literally "dissolved" any agent or substance that could help generate nitric oxide inside the body. Now, with NO2's pH-corrected, body-compatible delivery system, the human body is able to fully "accept" the nitric oxide delivery agent. And even better...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of that is pure crap. How would Viagra work if this were true? Viagra works by increasing Nitric Oxide levels in the body. However, not all of the MRI (the makers of NO2) claims are false. The stomach's PH levels can interfere with the process. Viagra took care of this by adding a citrate to their product (viagra = sildenafil citrate).
And anyways, the ingredients they used are all common fillers found in most bargain brand vitamins.
I find it funny, the way they call their delivery 'pHyser3', and the maker of Viagra is Pfizer (same pronunciation).
==============================================
So i've told you how overpriced NO2 is, but I also told you that there are positive responses for the stuff. Quite the dilemma, eh? Well, not to worry amigos, because I have the answer: A HOMEMADE NO2.
How are we going to homemake this stuff you ask? Well, we have two things to look at. First, the arginine.
So far, the cheapest yet highest quality argnine i've found is the one made by a company called "Now". They come in 120 capsule bottles of 1000 mg. arginine caps.
To achieve the doseage of NO2, you would have to take 3 tablets of this stuff twice daily, so that's 6 caps per day. This stuff comes in a 120 cap. bottle, so that's a 20 day supply. But NO2 comes in a 30 day supply! Oh no. You have to buy two bottles of Now's arginine. The cheapest I've seen this stuff go for is $10.80 per bottle. So for a one month supply, you spend a little more than $15, and you still have 60 caps left over.
(Note - bodybuilding.com doesn't sell the stuff made by now, but they do have 500 mg. caps made by ultimate nutrition - http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/un/argini.html
(******* sells the now one w/ FREE shipping)
Actually, b/c NO2 has a more high absorbed form of Arginine than pure arginine, i'd recommend a higher doseage if your taking it pure. Somewhere around 10-15 grams per day
Next, the 'delivery' system. The best way to take care of this is to take your arginine with a glass of OJ. The OJ will adjust your stomach pH levels to the levels they need to be at, and the sugar will help raise insulin levels with will increase the argnine uptake.
