used it all at some point in the past(caffeine, nitric oxide supl, ephedrine, creatine,...).
I did use a nitric oxide suplement on hard training/race day last season: NOX Trac by PVL.
It combines AAKG,Creatine, glutamine, bcaa,... and lots of things I don't know. Wasn't really impressed by the product. Was going to use it this winter as a sports drink,since I didn't notice any difference.
On the other hand, I'm in doubt now, maybe I'll just toss it in the garbage and take some juice/water with me on the longer workouts.
I had not heard of this supplement, it looks like the manufacturers took a load of powders off their shelves, tipped them in a bucket, mixed them up & tadaaa, here it is. Using the some is good so more must be better, then add them all together theory of nutritional science.
I think i know someone on something like that, problem is they tend to bulk them out with the cheaper ingredients, then charge a shed load, plus to get all the right amounts of the ones you need you have to have lots of it, so it doesn't last very long!
i take NO explode and it definitely works. i havent exploded yet....[:D]
on a serious note, i do take it and i dont have any side effects and it definitely helps me in training, i can go harder and longer with less perceived effort and i recover quicker when i'm taking it. but i take a little less than the recommended dosage and i take it 3 weeks on 1 week off. and i dont take it on weekends.
but a friend tried it and got weird heart palpitations and felt very anxious. another friend tried it and felt dizzy. they gave me the rest of theirs so i was happy!
guess it's up to the individual to try it (if they want to) and see how their body reacts.
