You’ve seen them in every fitness magazine on the market. You’ve seen them in GNC and in the supplement shop at your local gym. You may have even seen them on TV. What am I talking about? Those ads…you know the ones, touting the nitric oxide (NO) products as the next big thing in sports nutrition. To be honest, the mechanism seems plausible enough.
- Take a supplement that is a precursor to nitric oxide.
- The subsequent increase in nitric oxide causes vasodilation of the blood vessels.
- This vasodilation increases nutrient delivery to the muscles.
