Every single athlete in any sport is looking to gain an edge in performance over their opponents. Some take performance enhancing drugs, which more often than not end up getting caught by their governing bodies, while others look at the simplest of enzymatic functions within the body to find a way of improving their functions. A great example is the nitric oxide synthase enzyme, a function where the body utilises l-arginine to create more nitric oxide within the bloodstream.

Nitric oxide and its effect on performance

Nitric oxide plays a major role in muscular performance. It increases the blood flow into the working muscles thus improving muscular pumps, contractions and overall physical performance in any chosen sport. An increase of blood flow means an improvement in the uptake of oxygen and nutrients into the muscles which not only improves performance but also aiding in the growth and the recovery after strenuous physical activity.

Here at Predator Nutrition we highly value the amino acid L-Aginine and its ability to increase nitric oxide production however, we think that while there is a market for arginine, Genius should consider a nitric oxide supplement which uses the likes of citrulline or agmatine to which directl convert to l-arginine and can potentially deliver even more for the user.
