Nitric Oxide Supplements And Their Varied Uses

By Roxy Albright


Nitric Oxide supplements are those products that may be utilized to increase Nitric Oxide (NO) production in the body. While NO is not actually in these supplements, arginine mainly contributes to the primary function of them. Nitric Oxide supplements may also be called L-arginine supplements. The primary role of Nitric Oxide in the body is for relaying communication between cells. It also helps maintain proper blood circulation, along with maintaining the functions of the kidneys, lungs, liver, stomach, brain, and more organs. It further contributes to the release of adrenaline and hormones. Between these various functions, the supplements that add to NO production in the body have a range of applications.

One primary group of users of these supplements is body-builders and athletes. Another family of applications for these supplements includes a variety of healthcare uses. After discussion of the two aforementioned common use types, we'll look into some risks of use of nitric oxide supplements.

Nitric oxide supplements, and L-arginine supplements, are a popular sell to those looking to build muscles. From a body-builder's view, the best contribution of such supplements to muscle growth involves the fact that Nitric Oxide can assist in the proper release of adrenaline and hormones. These supplements may also reduce recovery time between exercise. Many athletes use these supplements in hopes that they may cause their workouts to be at a higher intensity and for longer, but this hope lacks significant real evidence. However, cyclists in trials have seen an increase in their anaerobic threshold. So these people could indeed get benefits from using these supplements.

There are many medical applications for nitric oxide supplements with L-arginine. Arginine can be employed to lower blood pressure; an important use for those who may suffer from hypertension. It is also often used with other substances to try to alleviate erectile dysfunction. Dietary supplements that contain L-arginine and L-lysine have been known to potentially reduce anxiety and stress levels in those who use them. Other ways L-arginine may potentially be applied include in treatment of a mitochondrial disease known as MELAS syndrome, in treating alcohol hepatitis, as well as cirrhosis of the liver.

NO supplements do have their risks and critics as well. Products with amino acids in them are capable of being overused. Overdosage of supplements could lead to serious health complications, along with symptoms such as weakness, nausea, and diarrhea. There are also critics who challenge some claims of the possible benefits of these NO supplements.

No matter the purpose for possible use of L-arginine supplements, ensure that you first speak to a healthcare provider to determine if Nitric Oxide supplements are the right decision for you.
