Have any of you had any experience with NO2? My weight lifting friends swear by it. I'm a little anxious about trying it.
NO2 is a hemodialator from MRI. Its supposed to open the blood vessels, thereby increasing circulation, healing, etc. According to my weight lifting friends (and the little book I bought) NO2 is the best thing to come along in a long time.
Thanks,

Shaky is correct--Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by the vascular endothelium (the lining of your arteries), not Nitrous oxide (NO2) which is a gas. It causes the vessels to dilate, and is deficient in diseased arteries. Arginine, an amino acid, is a precursor and is being studied as a way to increase nitric oxide production in patients with vascular disease. I believe it worked in animal studies. I'm not sure I understand why it would be of benefit in people with normal arteries (and thus normal NO production).
