The idea of the nitric oxide is that it dilates the veins and opens up more pathways to and from the heart, pumping in new fresh oxygenated blood into the muscle and flushing out lactic acid waste in a more effective manner. This kind of effect that the supplement companies try and sell you with the Nitric Oxide (We call them NO supps), so I have heard; can be duplicated with 5g of L-Arginine and a 8-12 oz glass of orange juice.
Taking too many of anything whether it be amino acids or weight loss supplements, whatever it is; especially when it deals with insulin levels is not a good thing. If you are having insulin problems then you should see a doctor and get the OK before starting your own supplement schedule. [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]
