There are a variety of products that make use of MRI’s patented No2 formula. No2 is truly a breakthrough in the supplements industry, having first been released in 2002 and since then winning many enthusiastic reviews from customers who could feel the difference. However, between the many selections offered by MRI (Black and Platinum series) and other companies, including popular selections like BSN NO-Xplode, Universal Animal Stak 2, MuscleTech NaNO Vapor, Iron Tek Pro Vaso and BNS Nitrix, how can you tell which is the best No2 product?
What Does this Mean for You?
What is the best No2 product, according to customers, reviewers and industry insiders? Everyone has a differing opinion. Some insiders like the Nox2 by Pinnacle formula, as it is similar to MRI’s product but for a lesser price. Pinnacle Nox2 uses its own exclusive system called an A-DS Advanced delivery system, to achieve the same effects as regular MRI No2. The product helps to spike absorption of active compounds to regulate uptake and help maintain the hemodilation for hours on end. BSN’s Nitrix has its following, and some say its formula is more scientifically effective than even MRI’s brand. BSN’s formula is called Methocel, and provides Nitrix users with a constant and steady release rate maintains its intensity for about a full day’s time. Syntrax Nitrous is a more amplified product, and operates as a muscle injection system for longer pumps, more energy, and shorter recovery. The product is custom-made with the intent to overcome obstacles that other nitric oxide products have faced.
Nitrous has a neutral taste and is sold as a powder instead of tablets or caplets. This makes the product easy to mix into your favorite drink. If you’re looking for intensity, then MRI’s No2 Black series may be the most intense formula you have will find. No2 Black uses a purer Arginine-AKG called ArginPure; along with pHylex9 technology, alpha-lipoic acid and NOS-enhancing peptide fraction technology (which increases the synthase enzymes for more nitric oxide production). This mean you can gain 950% more nitric oxide for your workout.
The No2 Black is even stronger than the Platinum series and is ideal if you are looking for flash recoveries and stronger endurance. Customers have been enthusiastic about No2 Black, calling it extreme with great potential for vascularity and longer blood surges. Some bodybuilders say the pump sensation can last beyond a day. The No2 Black series actually carries a warning label due to its high potency, warning people with medical conditions to consult a doctor before using.
What about Side Effects?
Are there any side effects to taking No2 supplements? MRI has stated that there are no side effects when No2 is taken in moderation, and as directed with plenty of water. (64 ounces a day is recommended) There have been minor side effects reported upon over-dosing and failure to drink recommended amounts of water. These include diarrhea, nausea and weakness or fatigue.
However, you should know that scientific studies have no concluded whether or not there are any long-term effects from No2. MRI claims, of course, that their product is safe because Arginine has been used in supplemental treatment for years and has never shown other symptoms or side effects. Is it true that No2 operates in the same manner as an anabolic steroid drug? No, because No2 is not a drug-it is a supplement that uses natural substances to enhance performance. Though Ed Byrd stated that No2 does not function as a steroid, he says that he does seek to find steroidal effects in his products without the risk of unhealthy side effects. After all, it’s not steroidal drugs that people fear-it’s the harmful consequences that can result.
