Here is a link to an independent site that sells Noxipro http://www.advantagesupplements.com/ctd-labs-noxipro-extreme-energizing-pre-workout-300gm.html Before I make my comments I would suggest reading the reviews. While many like the effects in the gym they do not like the side effects, some of which are significant. Now for my opinion. Whether it be Noxipro or any other nitric oxide supplement, if they do not combine their L-arginine with L-citrulline you are wasting your money because you are only going to get short term production of nitric oxide which may help you in the gym but have no significant benefit to you in helping to improve your cardiovascular system. To truly experience the benefits of increased nitric oxide production you need therapeutic increases that can stay in your system for 24 hours to help heal the endothelium that lines all of your cardiovascular system. This also has the potential of aid you with your high blood pressure issues. To help you understand this I've included two link to two YouTube videos of mine. One is on high blood pressure and the other is one athletic performance. I would suggest watching both. Here are the links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eDXHvm7r2o High Blood Pressure and the importance of your endothelium and improved nitric oxide production. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDWnRU_ItmY Athletic Performance and how properly nourishing your endothelium for improved nitric oxide production can significantly improve your performance. I believe you would be better served using ProArgi-9 Plus because it would help you address both issues of improved workouts but also address your main health issue of high blood pressure. I hope this information helps you in your decision about using nitric oxide supplements. Dan Hi Sam and thank you for your question. Here is a link to an independent site that sells Noxipro

Thank you for your comment and the results you are getting on Dr. Max Powers Anabolic Stack. I looked up this product on the internet and looked at both the ingredient list and the recommended warning about the continued use of this product. I don't want to be negative about this product but several items stood out for me. First is the form of L-arginine used. Second is the lack of the amino acid L-citrulline. Third is the need to go off this product after 8 weeks. Proper supplementation means having a product that will properly nourish your cells, tissues, and organs for long term usage for improved health and function. The creation of nitric oxide is critical for improved circulation. Typically, a product that only uses L-arginine will usually result in a 30 minute to 2 hour window of improved nitric oxide production. This works well for training purposes but doesn't work well for recovery. When you include a therapeutic level of L-citrulline then you can increase your nitric oxide production from a 30 minute to 2 hour window to a 24 to 36 hour window. This benefits training, performance, and recovery. Plus, this aids in helping to repair damage to the endothelium which lines all of your cardiovascular system. It is your endothelium that creates nitric oxide from L-arginine. L-citrulline recycles the L-arginine allowing for the drastic increase in nitric oxide production. And the form of L-arginine and L-citrulline is also important. The purer the better and a true fermentation process is best. If you're interested I would highly recommend ProArgi-9 Plus. I've a lot of athletes who use this product with great results. And, it is safe for long term use. Please contact me if you have additional questions. Dan Hi CaptainM!

I take Nitric Oxide, as part of the Dr Max Powers Anabolic Stack product, I use it and I take a pack of the stack and when I go to the gym, I have veins poping out of everywhere. I have them in my calfs, shoulders, arms, etc. When I take my stack of assault and this you really see a difference in your vascularity. My veins get huge and really noticable, and I have overheard people in the gym say "that guy has to be on steroids" lol, but I have never taken them and never will. these also seem to help with your pump, and give you energy to boot, but I dont know how much of that is the assault vs these pills. I have taken the assault by itself, and know a good portion if not all the energy is from that product alone. I do think this product helps more with the Vascularity of my body while working out. Good product, but just like with anything make sure you drink LOTS of water. A.) to get it flowing through your system, and B.) to flush it out of your system before it does damage to your organs :) I am always looking for that edge in the gym, and will take anything and everything to get where I want quicker.

Yes, L-arginine is safe to use. It is the amino acid your endothelium needs to create nitric oxide – the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system. Nitric oxide is critical to your health for a couple of reasons. First, nitric oxide keeps blood platelet cells from sticking together to help prevent strokes and heart attacks. Second, nitric oxide relaxes the smooth muscle of your vascular wall to help you maintain normal blood pressure. In fact, nitric oxide is your body's most powerful vasodilator so it is essential in helping you with blood pressure issues. Third, when nitric oxide is at proper levels in the blood stream it also repairs damage done to the endothelium. Most people have never heard of the endothelium but it lines all of your cardiovascular system. It lines the inside of your heart, arteries, veins and your capillaries are just extensions of the endothelium. It is now considered to be the largest secreting organ in your body. In addition to the amino acid L-arginine you should also use the amino acid L-citrulline. L-citrulline recycles L-arginine to help your endothelium properly produce nitric oxide over a long period of time. Here are two links to help you better understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9b0eMbXkdY This YouTube will help you understand the key areas to look for in an L-arginine product. http://danhammerhealth.com/health-concerns/high-blood-pressure-and-endothelium/ This page will go into greater depth and detail about L-arginine, L-citrulline, and other natural ingredients and how they can be used to help those with high blood pressure issues. I hope you find this additional information helpful. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. Dan Hi Holly and thank you for your question. Yes, L-arginine is safe to use.

Thank you for the information and question. Yes, you should be able to take a nitric oxide supplement to help you increase muscle mass without danger to your blood pressure. However, I would suggest that you be aware of the following items: 1.You must make sure that you use proper breathing techniques when you're training. Breath out on exertion and breath in when relaxing. This way you do not cause your blood pressure to go up in response to high thoracic pressures. 2.If you use a Nitric Oxide supplement make sure the supplement also includes L-citrulline. Ideally you want to use at least 5 grams of L-arginine with 250 mg of L-citrulline. The reason why is L-citrulline will recycle the L-arginine for longer production of nitric oxide. Typically, if you use only L-arginine you will get a 30 minute to 2 hour window of improved nitric oxide production. If you add the L-citrulline you increase this window of improved nitric oxide production to 24 to 36 hours which is a huge health benefit in helping to repair your endothelium and recover from exercise. 3.I would also recommend that you make your doctor aware of your use of L-arginine/L-citrulline so that your health care provider can make any adjustments in your medication as needed. Please keep me posted on your results. I would highly recommend looking at the ProArgi-9 Plus I highlight on this website. It is excellent and I have a lot of athletes who love the benefits they have seen in their workouts. Dan Hi Louis! Thank you for the information and question.
