Any N.O. products that really work?

I have tried many N.O products claiming to give huge pumps. I want to hear what others have tried and like or don't like.
 
Controlled Labs White Flood.. I have tried a ton of preworkout supplements, and White Flood is probably number one for me. I've tried the old superpump (decent), Horse Power by ultimate nutrition (so-so), Animal Pump (good, but nothing amazing), Shock Therapy (Universal Nutrition.. was decent, good price), Vaso-Charge (Scivation, not made anymore.. but was actually pretty damn good), Jack3d (totally sucked, stomach hurt soon after taking it both times before I returned it), No-Xplode (didn't do much), and I've made my own preworkout blends with bulk supplements.

Out of everything I would say the best option is White flood, or make your own blend with some bulk stuff. Both have been effective, and gave me nice energy during my workouts.
 
Easily the best of the bunch...Creatine Nitrate. It comes in a preworkout formula by APS and it's called Mesomorph, they also sell creatine nitrate as a stand alone supplement. Currently stacking both and the pumps are insane.
 
AAKG Powder...find at Get.Nothing.Centers competitor for around $10 a bottle which is 30 doses...tastes like crap though but works good for me.
 
Hemavol + Cbol. The power of nitrates stacked with a plasma volumizer, I don't really see how you can get any better than that.

I would say Creatine Nitrates, Glycerine, water+carbs and proper sleep, citrulline malate or gplc+vit c, avoid anything with arginine...
 
GPLC as far as pure ingredients, its the only proven one.... if you are looking for products taht have it in it,
premax
mesomorph
 
I got nothing from plasmajet. But I always liked Iforce's Hemavol. And I've been hearing good things about Creatine Nitrate.
 
MesoMorph/Creatine Nitrate and I also got great pumps with Flashover by Omega
 
Pump-Bol is spose to deliver some pretty freaking awesome pumps. Ive tried PowerShock which is BCAA-Nitrates which gave me a pretty awesome pump as well.

When i tested AX pre workout i was literally getting the best pumps ive ever gotten, i really liked it a lot, however im yet to try Pump-Bol which im sure is comparable.
 
N2KTS from needto is gaining a lot of fans lately:)
 
I hope it works better then the other usplabs supplements iv used. It seems like everything you say about your products they never deliver. I used pink magic and prime, they have been the least working supplement iv used to date. I did like jack3d but now its been a couple weeks and have to use 3 scoops every time, i dont get any good energy from it besides a poor caffeine buzz.
 
HemaVol is without a doubt the highest rated and most effective N.O. product. Check out some user reviews, it is unbelievable!

LOL, True :)

I think the best product that I have tried (purely for pumps) is Nitrix. It is one of the first products in that category that I have tried 6 years ago and with all the new comers it is still the best.

A good pre-workout supplement that also delivers a good pump then try: Vassive-NO, Fast Twitch or Bulldozer XL5000 all three did provide exceptional pumps in addition to being great pre-wokrouts.
 
As far as work in the sense that it builds more...or helps build more muscle - no none at all.
Published studies prove that it does not do either of the above.
NO is a feel good supp ..that's effects can anecdoatally be manipulated so one would ASSUME it would accomplish building muscle or helping to do so. The reality is - it doesnt.
 
Whatever happened to NO2/CE2 stack? My platoon sgt swore by it and he was a monster......I never tried it myself...I know it was expensive as hell!!

Me too! Key is to take it 30 mins AFTER a creatine product, do NOT stack them. Also adding in 2000mg Vit C made for killer pumps
 
The first n.o. pump product I used was Super Pump 250 a couple years ago. Decent , nothign to comoare it to at the time as I hadn't used anything else. After my near 'accident' on leg day I quit using it.

Tried plasma jet by gaspari, did absolutely NOTHING.

Loved jack3d but the crash killed me. Stopped using that. Also I got used to it pretty quick.

GPLC from Primordial was ok. I can't bad mouth it, just a little expensive.

Tried ASGT and LOOOOOVED that. Great pumps and no crash.

To be honest, I do sometimes switch back to jack3d because it WORKS, I just deal witht he crash.

I might have to try the Hemavol.....

I noticed the plasmajet only worked for me on super high carb days. It just seemed like a hassle though.

Hemavol I think I split the doses, half before workout and half after.

This is a general statement, I agree to an extent, however GPLC does improve performance.

as far as i can understand the nitrate in creatine nitrate breaks down to nitric acid, the same thing that makes viagra so effective. it is no wonder that creatine nitrate gives such good pumps.

what i can say for sure is that mesomorph gives the best pump that i have ever had with a supplement.
 
I stack Plasmajet with M.R.I. Blackpowder and it's monster. I don't know about building muscle - but I feel stronger. Placebo effect? Maybe ... my mind is tiny and I can only really think about three thoughts every thirty seconds or so - and two of those usually have to do with a specific woman and / or specific body parts of women - and sometimes I run into things because I can't process all this and move at the same time that well.

So whatever it takes ... placebo effect or whatever is cool ... I just need to get the weight up.

How do you sleep? I sleep like sh!t no matter what I take for nitric oxide before bed. Gotta keep my last dose at least 5 hours from bed I've found.

Yeah 150-200mg pre workout, 5 hours before bed lol.

I used to just take Hemavol by itself for my pre, no stims, and I had some sleep issues but you're probably right on the caffeine.
 
I am a “pump” freak so I've tried nearly all of them except Mesomorph (it's on my list) and Jack3d (I don't like USP) and ASGT (I hear that it tastes horrible). Some are more stim oriented and some are more “pump” oriented. I personally like the more “pump” oriented products. I workout about 6:00 at night and some the more stim oriented products tend to keep me awake. For me at least all arginine products work for a while. If used more than once or twice a week they tend to become ineffective very quickly. GLPC also works for me but I need about 6-8 gms to get a good pump and it’s expensive. I have not tried creatine nitrate yet but it seems to get a lot of kudos. Citruline Malate seems to work well in conjunction with regular creatine but doesn’t do much on its own. I’ve found that the best method for getting a consistent “pump” is to eat plenty of complex carbs throughout the day and alternate products. I personally plan on alternating a good arginine blend product like N.O. Shotgun or Super Pump 250 with a good GPLC product like PreMax and a good creatine nitrate product like Mesomorph. This keeps the body from adapting to any one product. It kinda works similar to the muscle confusion principle. It also keeps me from getting tired of the taste of any given product.
