While I was at the local GNC getting my Whey protein the people there said it would be good for me to take this NO2 product where I tahe 10 tablets daily which is a total of 10,000 MG of ( A-AKG ), does this stuff really work for boosting strength or is it just some more B.S.?

Coarse they want you too, you run out quicker, and have to come back for more.

save your moeny No is a waste of money. Maybe good before a bodybuidling show but not to get bigger and or stronger.

NO2 is a big NO! Don't waste your money. The A-AKG he is speaking of is nothing fancy it is simply a form of arginine.....Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate.

Arginine is a big joke...refer to Nitrix thread....they 'recommend' taking 12 g , 4g 3 times daily...it's ludicrous....normal dosage is 3-4g daily...it's rediculous cuz the supplement costs as much as 30-50$....taking 12 a day...makes you run out in like a week...it's a joke...don't even waste a 2nd thought on this...remember...when an athlete recommends something it's usually given to him/her for free...and goes with a variety of steroids(if it's a bodybuilder)...so it's almost never the supplement they are touting that gave them great results(thought i'd hit this area as well)

That is a blanket statement you cannot back up. Please refrain from this type of logic, as it is not accurate.

Quoting from menace3000:
