Nitric Oxide supplements are one of the most talked about supplements in body building circles. Like all supplements, they do provide advantages to body builders, but since they are essentially an excessive dose of chemicals being added to the body, they can have some side effects.
It is important that all body builders be aware of both the advantages and disadvantages of taking Nitric Oxide as a supplement since only then should the decision to take the supplement be made. While supplements are useful in speeding up the process of building muscle mass, they can have harm the body and some should not be taken in conjunction with other medicines.
Nitric Oxide, also known as NO, is a gas. It is created by the amino acid L-arginine, which is naturally found in foods like dairy, meat, poultry and fish. The process whereby the amino acid is converted to the gas form is called nitric oxide synthesis. The gas is important for health since it helps blood flow and thus helps the cardiovascular functions of the body, and it also helps the immune system and nervous system as well. The gas is also important in controlling blood pressure and it is also useful for muscles since it increases blood flow to them and helps them get proper nutrients, oxygen and thus increase muscle performance.
Therefore, since Nitric Oxide is already present in the body, it stands to say that more of it would actually be better for you. The advantages it provides muscles are obvious. By increasing blood flow to the muscles it helps them work harder, increases their recovery and builds endurance in athletes and body builders. It increases blood flow by forcing the blood vessels that provide nutrients to the muscles to remain open for longer than they naturally would.
Nitric Oxide is also very useful in increasing the “perpetual pump” that body builders feel right after a workout. This means that it hardens the muscles and makes them look larger. The supplement also increases the strength that the various muscle groups have over time, and it reduces the amount of fatigue body builders feel right after a workout, which can help them work out for longer and harder every time. All these advantages of Nitric Oxide are the reason why it is one of the most popular supplements body builders take.

My 5 steps to get a defined & muscular body - FAST!
Hey guys, Tom here. I'm writing this article just to share how a normal guy like me managed to get ripped and muscular without having to work out too much or take stack of expensive bad-tasting protein drinks that don't work.
I've worked out my own 5 step plan that really helped me to go from a little on the heavy side and flabby to defined, toned and muscular in a little over a month - without spending killing myself in the gym, and without spending a fortune!
I've tried all sorts of exercise routines and muscle building plans before that didn't do anything. I've wasted money on bodybuilding supplements, the gross tasting protein shakes that take time to prepare and have embarassing side effects, creatine, acai, amino acid caps whatever...you name it, I tried it pretty much and NONE of them gave me any noticeable benefit when I exercised or in cutting body fat/improving muscle definition. I guess maybe I'm just a little lazy, but I don't want to spend all day in the gym, and I've always wanted something convenient like a supplement cap I can take a couple times a day - so I don't have to mix stupid powders, and I don't have to taste or smell the stuff like you do with protein shakes or creatine LOL.
Well I'm sure you want to know what my 5 step secret plan for getting ripped is - so read on!
Step 1 - Drink more water - It sounds kinda obvious, but apart from taking Force Factor in step 3, drinking water instead of sugary drinks like coke, pespi and 7 up made the biggest difference to me. Your body takes about 2 hours to absorb the water you drink, so its important to hydrate yourself before working out. I've stuck to the recommended 2 litre daily intake of water now for like 5 weeks and its great, its helped me cut bodyfat and I feel so much healthier and better all round!
Step 2 - Limit your workouts - A couple years ago I used to kill myself in the gym for like 2 hours at a time 5 days a week, and go home feeling like I hadn't acheived anything - I started limiting my workouts to 30 minutes a session, and for only 3-4 days a week. Thanks to increasing my water, protein and carb intake, along with taking Force Factor while I trained, I was able to see results faster and without training so hard - now when I go home after just 30 minutes in the gym, I feel totally pumped.
Step 3 - Force Factor - THIS is the most important part of my 5 step plan to get ripped, and its what made the difference to me! I heard about Force Factor first on TV, I was watching some MMA fight and they interviewed Stephan Bonnar about how he got to look so muscular, and his training regime. He mentioned that he's been taking this supplement pill called Force Factor and how great it was. Basically Force Factor is a scientific blend of amino acids that causes increases in levels of nitric oxide (N.O.) in the body. N.O. helps move oxygen into your muscles when they need it most, sparking powerful muscle growth, strength gains and incredible, ripped pumps. Here's why I love Force Factor:
Step 5 - Protein & Carbs - Our muscles need both protein and carbohydrates to rebuild, to grow, and for energy so its important to increase your intake of both through the food you eat. I've tried taking shakes in the past for both carbs and protein, and they taste horrible so now I stick to getting both from food - eat plenty of stuff like pasta, chicken, beans and fruit. As well as feeding your muscles and helping give you more energy, they'll keep your body healthy and help you burn fat.
People also started noticing the difference and so did girls. I even met my current girlfriend while I was in the gym one day - thanks to Force Factor! :-)

- It's the easiest thing I've ever done, you just take a couple of capsules a day. (And they're small and easy to swallow!)
- NO bad taste or embarassing side effects like with acai or protein shakes! ;-)
- It increases your energy and makes you want to work out
- Just take it before meals, and before working out - easy!
- You'll be able to up your weight workouts
- It's an all-natural formula so no bad chemicals
Step 5 - Protein & Carbs - Our muscles need both protein and carbohydrates to rebuild, to grow, and for energy so its important to increase your intake of both through the food you eat.

The Results?
After a week or two of my 5 step plan I started noticing I was getting slimmer and having more defined muscles, and I felt great all the time with a lot of energy. At the start of week 3 I started using the flex belt ab toner for the times I wasn't at the gym or too busy to exercise. At the end of the first month of using Force Factor I was definitely what you could call muscular, I could see the difference looking at myself in the mirror, and I definitely had a lot more definition to my body thanks to using the flex belt.People also started noticing the difference and so did girls. I even met my current girlfriend while I was in the gym one day - thanks to Force Factor! :-)

Force Factor workout tips
To help you get the most out of your workouts while taking force factor nitric oxide supplement, we've compiled a few useful workout tips! Read on:
1: Water - be sure to hydrate your body throughout the day. It takes a couple of hours for your body to absorb the water, so you can't drink right before you exercise and expect results! Make it a habit to drink water throughtout your day - guidline amounts for guys are around 2+ litres of water a day - it'll help your muscles go for longer, and help keep you alert and sharp through the day.
2: Mix it up - don't stick to the same workout routine for too long - your body will naturally adjust to the stress level and you won't be getting an effective workout. For strength training (which is the goal if you're looking to get ripped with force factor right?), you should change your routine up every other week. For cardio work, its better to cross train than just to run all the time so you exercise different muscle groups.
3: Heavier weights - when you're starting out, its best to begin with lower weights so you can concentrate on good posture and form in your reps.Once you've gotten the form down though, its best to start trying to increase the weights your lifting - to as much as you can manage without losing form. Do NOT sacrifice form for extra weight, as its innefective and a waste of your energy and time. Lifting heavy weights, while having good form, can give you maximum results in the shortest time. Heavy weights are NOT for those who just want to bulk up either. The days when you don't have the time or energy to get to the gym, try using an electronic muscle stimulator like the flex belt to keep your muscles working.
So, theres 3 great tips to get you on the road to bulking up and getting ripped with force factor nitric oxide! Hope you enjoyed them.
To your success!
