QUESTION 9: Do Nitric Oxide Supplements Work? 

 ( Really Do Any Supplements Work?) 

 

      Work to do what? Give you better pumps?  Yes. Build more muscle? 

Where’s the proof.  

Okay, before I go on, I'd like to point out that most of the research on NO products has 

been done by supplement companies that sell the products. Unlike creatine and protein 

which has a wealth of other information sources including credible scientific institutions, 

I would like to see the same for NO. 

Now wait.  Does that mean if you took this type of product and it worked for you that we 

should all just say, forget science, if it worked for Bob then it must work for everybody. Who  

cares how, it just does? Make no mistake; NO type products are great for pumps.  And there 

might be truth to the statement that it opens up nutrient pathways to allow you to absorb more 

muscle building nutrients. And maybe pumps do build muscle. Although I personally think 

overloading the muscle does more for that then any pumps. More important than that…if you 

don't take NO supplements are you missing out on gains?  My strong hunch is that you 

aren‟t missing out. 

Bottom line, if you take NO and you fail to eat properly you won't gain anything. 

So if you aren't 100% focused on nutrition and training, then all these supplements will do 

is pretty much make you broke. 

Now, listen to this very carefully: Not all supplements are worthless. Taking some supplements 

will help you achieve your goals. But only if you have the other 98% in check. 
So let me ask you… are you positive that your nutrition and training are complete? 

If so, then NO might be something to try out and see for yourself. And that statement goes for 

every supplement (minus vitamins, protein, essential fatty acid complexes). 

NO and supplements alike only account for 2%. Make sure you have the rest down solid and 

that 2% will be very noticeable!
