Question about pump products

I've been using pump products for about a month or so, and have really liked their effects, particularly the vascularity. Does the body adapt to these types of products after a while? I haven't really noticed a decrease in the effects just yet, but curious if I should take a break from them from time to time. I've been rotating products - Vasoblitz, VasoForce XT and taking agmatine/citrulline as standalone products as well. So I might take VasoForce XT for a few days, then switch to Vasoblitz. I've been taking agmatine/citrulline daily tho. So far, I have been able to maintain good vascularity almost 24/7. I'm also on Stano Plex, so I suspect that is contributing to a significant degree, as it contains vaso6.

Anybody experienced where these products no longer work as well over time? If so, are there specific compounds (beet root, vaso6, agmatine, etc.) that are more susceptible to losing their effects?

I don’t find they lose their effects (minus nitrates). It’s not something like caffeine, where 100mg feels great for a while, but then you need to up it to 150, then 200, etc. If 1g of Agmatine (for example) gives you a specific effect, then you should be good to go with that dosage.

I believe you can build tolerance to nitrates. Arginine is commonly used to prevent nitrate tolerance, or you’ll see Arginine Nitrate (Vasoblitz, High Volume) as the nitrate utilized.

There’s a write up on nitrates here, with discussion of nitrate tolerance near the bottom of the first post.

Nitrates Since the inception of the Thermolife lineup a few years ago, nitrates have been a popular ingredient sold in dietary supplements. They are claimed to increase nitric oxide (NO) and provide all-day pumps. But do they live up to the hype? Let's take a look. Do Nitrates Increase...

Share the same views as Aaron. Rotate if possible and take intermittent breaks from nitrates and you’ll be good to go.
 
Which form of citrulline do you guys prefer - free or malate? I've been taking free form capsules, but just ordered a 500g tub of powdered cit malate for the value (primaforce). Does it really make much of a difference?

Shouldn't really matter but you'll need twice as much Citrulline Malate (most is 1:1 ratio) to get the same amount of Citrulline.

This.

I prefer just straight Citrulline.

I have no idea how the discussion ended on if the “Malate” in Cit Mal is ergogenic or not.
