Pinnacle NoX2 is a leading supplement designed to deliver a high concentration of NO to the body, before or during training. The sustained-release formula can supply the body with NO that helps to increase stamina and boost the concentration of NO circulating in the blood. The result is usually a brief expansion of muscle tissue, along with an improvement in muscle recovery rates, and lowered blood pressure over time.

How NO Works in the Body
Intensive training creates stress, encouraging the heart to increase blood flow throughout the body in order to deliver oxygen to the muscles. If this rate is too slow, the result can be poor endurance levels and low energy. Athletes and bodybuilders who regularly train hard may be able to improve their stamina with the help of NO supplements.

NO is naturally released into the body after sustained effort from muscles, increasing the size of blood vessels to allow increased oxygen flow. NO supplements can help prolong this process, making it easier to maintain a high level of endurance for extended periods of time, and creating an “extended pump.”

Key Benefits
Pinnacle NoX2 may help with:

• 
  

  Boosting short-term NO levels in the blood, enabling speedy growth and/or recovery.

  
  


• 
  

  Extending muscle pumps by releasing a fresh supply of NO at just the right moment.

  
  


• 
  

  Sending a signal to muscles to grow and speed up the repair and recovery process.

  
  


• 
  

  Supporting myodilation, the natural expansion of muscle tissues.

  
  


• 
  

  Improving strength and stamina with the addition of arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (A-AKG) and arginine-ketoisocaproate (A-KIC), two amino-acid compounds that deliver NO to muscles.

  
  


• 
  

  Enhancing absorption of the supplement itself with the Advanced Delivery System, which sustains the effects of NO for extended periods of time—up to 10 hours after ingestion, in some cases.

  
  

Recommended Dosage and Use
Finding what dosage works best for you will depend on your body type and level of activity; the recommended dose of Pinnacle NoX2 is three tablets twice per day—once in the morning on an empty stomach, and another half an hour before lunch.

Pinnacle also recommends drinking at least 64 ounces (eight full glasses) of water each day while using the supplement. It is not recommended for people who are being treated for high blood pressure, diabetes, or liver, thyroid, or psychiatric disease. It is also not recommended for those who are pregnant or nursing.

Potential Dangers of NO Use
Since the early 80s, when scientists realized NO’s effects on muscle contraction and blood vessel dilation, it has been available in a variety of bodybuilding supplements and in basic pill form. NO forces blood between the cells, making muscles appear harder and fuller almost immediately after release; the result is a boost of strength that may help during an intensive workout. Although there have not been many documented side effects of using NoX2 or other NO supplements, the high levels of arginine they contain can often result in diarrhea, nausea, headaches, migraines, and indigestion.
