Information About Nitric Oxide Supplements

By Roxy Albright


Nitric Oxide supplements are supplements that can be taken to increase the nitric oxide in the body. Nitric Oxide is not actually found in supplements, rather arginine is. Nitric Oxide supplements are also referred to as L-arginine supplements. The primary role of Nitric Oxide in the body is to deliver messages between cells in the body. It also contributes to the control of blood circulation, and the functions of the lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, stomach, and other organs. It also contributes to the release of hormones and adrenaline. Between all of these functions, the supplements that contribute to Nitric Oxide production in the body have many uses and 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.

These supplements certainly have their critics and also carry with them some known risks. Products that contain amino acids can definitely be used to excess. Overdose of supplements may lead to severe health risks, along with symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, and weakness. As mentioned before, critics that do not see the evidential proof for some claims have challenged what supplement producers have advertised as benefits of their products.

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.
