So how did I make out with NO2? I honestly can't say that
it did anything for me... Very disappointed, really... After
so many positive reviews I've received from users (along
with negative reviews), I was quite excited about trying
this new NO2 supplement. I was really looking forward to
the "perpetual pumps", which I didn't experience
at all. This is just something I have to write off - I guess
I'm just one of those people who didn't respond well to
NO2 supplement.
This does not mean that NO2 doesn't work. Far from it.
Well, had I not received so many positive
feedbacks, I would most likely not have tried it myself.
I guess it just didn't work for me.
Taurine - amino acid
Taurine is a semi-essential amino acid that's not as well
known as some other aminos like glutamine; however, taurine
plays an important role and is found in the heart muscle,
white blood cells, central nervous system, and skeletal
muscle. It plays an important role in metabolism, and is
essential for new borns, since they cannot make it. Adults
bodies can make taurine, however, when not enough is made,
the deficiency can be corrected by supplementation.
Some benefits of taurine include:
- It is a component of bile, which is needed for digestion
of fats and control of serum cholesterol levels.
- Some studies have found it to lower blood pressure
- Taurine helps control the movement of potassium, magnesium
and sodium, helping to maintain the cell membranes
- It is a antioxidant and helps reinforce the immune system
- It helps to strengthen the heart muscle, stabilize heart
rhythm, and also prevents blood clots.
- Taurine helps to guard against diabetes
- Dosage of 2grams 3 times daily have helped people with
congestive heart failure to improve cardiac and respiratory
function
Weight Gainer - Prolab N Large 2
Although not necessary, weight gainers can help to put
you up an extra few hundred calories each day. It's not
wise to blindly take a few servings of any weight gainer
with no regard for your overall nutritional planning, and
daily calorie and nutritional intake. However, worked in
around your nutrition plan, weight gainers can be a great
help!
For example, during my 6 week program, I was on a 40-40-20,
2600 to 2800 calories per day. Which translates roughly
to 270g protein, 270g carbs, and 60g of fat. Obviously,
its very tough to get all this nutrition from solid foods
alone, which is why you need to figure out what you're getting
from solid foods, and make up the rest from supplements.
This is how I worked out my nutrition plan for the 6 weeks.
More on this later in the nutrition section.
I've always used Prolab's N-Large 2 as my weight gainer
of choice. It tastes great, and mixes easily, and paying
$40 for a 10lb tub is a good deal. ;-)
