Its threads like these that make me feel a little better. John Q see's that a product that has the miracle "L-Norvaline" which is going to give him a better pump. While the companies arent lying, they arent telling the whole truth either. L-Norvaline increases the concentration of NO in the system, which will give you an increased pump. However, NO is also a free radical (a free radical is either a solo electron or a molecule with an odd amount of electrons). These "FR's" have an uncanny ability to royally screw up your body. Whether it be from binding to nuclear receptors or DNA or just attacking your optic nerve. Companies like v*o-tech, who market l-norvaline as a savior are full of it. In the end, use products with NO without adequate anti-oxidants if you want a good pump and want an increased chance of cancer in the future.
My favorite NO supplelment is White Blood by Controlled Labs by far. Cheap and has a good Anti-Oxidant blend. While the Anti-Oxidants do slightly decrease the potency of NO, its well worth it in the end.
Dsade.-Nitric Oxide is the free radical produced, I dont believe the metabolism of it causes the free radicals. Arginase converts Arginine to Urea and Ornthinine in water.
