Nitric Oxide Enhances Muscles

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Nitric Oxide is derived naturally from fish, grains, poultry, meats and dairy products. The amino acid L-arginine in the food, when digested, passes through the stomach and enters the blood. It then reaches the endothelial cells that are found between the blood and lymph. L-arginine is broken down by enzymes in the endothelial cells to form Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide acts as a communicator with other cells in the body. Extreme fatigue and physical weakness results from a deficiency of Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide is also a vasodilator dilating the blood vessels making more blood to flow.

Nitric Acid is found to be beneficial in treating a variety of disorders. It is useful in treating diabetes and injury, cardiovascular disorders, pain, insomnia, inflammations, interstitial cystitis, digestive problems, sexual function, weight loss and female sexual dysfunction. Constriction of blood vessels that can cause harm can be prevented with the use of Nitric Oxide. Stroke as well as heart disease may be prevented with Nitric Oxide. It is useful for lowering cholesterol. Nitric Oxide could assist in controlling platelet function and reducing artery plaque.

many Nitric Oxide supplements are targeting towards bodybuilders. Quick muscle growth is promised by consuming these products. Nitric Oxide supplements in the market include Nitrix by BSN, A-AKG by Pro-line, NO-xplode by BSN, SuperPump250 from Gaspari, Mid-Cycle by Fizogen, White Flood from Controlled Labs and Cold Fusion by Legal Gear. These products are available from health nutrition stores. You should, for instance, check whether any side effects due to their consumption have been reported. This could be done by searching the Internet, for instance, for White Flood search with White Flood side effects.

Extraordinary muscle growths are what bodybuilders are promised with the consumption of Nitric oxide products. But it is really not known how well these promises are true. They are still as yet not conclusive. However, these products are consumed to improve sports activities as well as bodybuilding. They are meant to be consumed before as well as after each workout. The delivery of oxygen, creatine, muscle building agents and nutrients by the blood to the muscles is improved by the intake of these Nitric Oxide supplements. This results from improved blood flow induced by Nitric Oxide in these supplements. The blood vessels are firmly kept open for longer length throughout the day. Recovery after workouts become faster, muscle gains increases, strength increases and stamina too increases when these vital items are delivered by the increased pumping of the blood.

Creatine, The Muscle Builder

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

The energy levels of muscle cells are increased with the intake of Creatine with ATP being replenished with creatine phosphate. After work out, its intake increases energy, reduces the recovery time after workouts and increases muscle mass. The belief that Creatine bloats or stresses the kidneys is not true. Creatine is sold in many forms including creatine ester as well as creatine monohydrate. There is variation in its dosage and price.

High intensity athletic performance is increased with creatine supplements. It is a source of energy to skeletal muscles. Researchers in Harvard University discovered in 1912 that intake of creatine increased the creatine content in the muscles. In the 1920s scientists further discovered that intramuscular storage of creatine increased with larger intake of creatine, creatine played a key role in metabolism of skeletal muscles, creatine was formed naturally in vertebrates and also discovered creatine phosphate. Since then it was observed that creatine actually boosted the physical performance. Creatine began to be used by athletes and sports. 95

Creatine supplements at a commercial scale began to be produced only in 1993. The first to introduce creatine commercially was Experimental and Applied Sciences (EAS) of Britain with the launch of their product named Phosphagen. It was discovered subsequently that creatine muscle stores as well as performance increased with the intake of high glycemic carbohydrates together with creatine. MuscleTech Research and Development launched Cell-Tech which was the first creatine-carbohydrate-alpha lipoic acid supplement to be launched. It was found that alpha lipoic acid increased the levels of total muscle creatine concentrations and muscle phosphocreatine.  Creatine ethyl ester supplements were first launched in 2004. Creatine monohydrate and creatine ethyl ester-based supplements became the most popular form in which creatine was consumed. These were available as separate products or combined together. Creatine monohydrate is a much better source of creatine than creatine ethyl ester according to researchers. They are consumed capsules or caplets or as powder mixed into a drink. There are products whose details and consumers opinions can be looked at from the Internet by searching, for instance, for BSN Cell Mass with BSN Cell Mass side effects.

Ingesting creatine increases the level of phosphocreatine by 20 percent in the muscles. Creatine also increased the satellite cell activity which promotes muscle hypertrophy. Creatine is not categorized as substance used for doping and therefore most sport governing authorities do not ban its use. Its use is considered safe for both short term use as well as long term use. But it is advised that people with renal avoid taking creatine.
