Nitric Oxide
Nitric Oxide- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why Athletic Performance4 gram three times per day 
[2 stars] It has been speculated that AAKG may increase production of nitric oxide, a substance known to enhance blood flow. In one study, AAKG improved measures of strength and short-term power performance in weight lifters.Nitric oxide is the popular name for AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate), a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance formed in the body's energy-generating process. AAKG is a popular supplement among bodybuilders and other athletes because of claims that it increases production of nitric oxide in muscles. Nitric oxide is known to have blood-flow-enhancing effects,1 which could in theory increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscle. While L-arginine by itself is known to increase nitric oxide production, no research has been done to show that AAKG does the same. However, double-blind trials of AAKG suggest it improves some measures of strength and power resulting from weight training.2, 3

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
This is my new favorite preworkout. I have tried and gone through many in the past, and have been thoroughly disappointed with many i have tried. C4 has its name for a reason; this preworkout gave me insane energy, pumps and focus for my workouts. I had one of the most intense workouts in recent memory, and C4 was a big reason why. I felt like i had so much endurance and explosiveness to push through my sets, and I just kept coming back for more. I love C4

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
I like to go to the gym early in the morning and a lot of the time when I wake up I don't feel like going right away. About 15min after drinking Cellucor C4 I get a sudden sense of motivation and eagerness to lift. Not only is C4 the best tasting pre-workout supp (Icy Blue Raspberry) in my opinion, it delivers on what it says it does. The Beta Alanine gives me a "tingling" feeling (mostly in my arms) that makes me want to start lifting. The NO3 must be working because my veins have never shown as big as they do now that I take C4. There is a small dose of Creatine Nitrate which is nice because it allows me to remove Creatine Mono from my stack. And the caffeine is perfect for anyone like me who likes to hit up the gym in the morning. I was able to get a sample from GNC before I purchased C4 that way I could make sure I didn't have and bad side effects. Good news, till this day I have not had one bad side effect from taking C4 or any Cellucor product for that matter.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
Take this about 15 minutes before my workout. I'm usually pretty excited for my workouts, but once this is in my system I'm amped to go lift after 12 hours of work and school. Even on days when I'm not feeling it, this mix, which with its color and taste reminds me of Mike's "secret stuff" from Space Jam, but actually works. Only side effect is it makes my skin itch sometimes, but I'm sure that's not a big deal.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
Appearance: 10/10
This product is packaged in a shiny, chrome label. This type of packaging is what caught my eye when I first started looking into supplements.
Mixibility: 10/10
I i poured in one scoop of this into 4 ounces of water. Once I shook my shaker bottle, the powder dissolved and mixed smoothly throughout and I didn't see any powder stay on the bottom. Unlike past experiences with other pre-workout drinks, I didn't have to shake the bottle everytime I wanted to take a sip from it.
Taste: 10/10
I swear I wish I could drink more of this, I wish it was an actual drink. The flavor I had was Icy Blue Razz, it tastes like a jolly rancher, but better. I think consuming one scoop in 4 to 6 ounces is a real tease! Now that I think of it, Cellucor's pre-workout is the best tasting I've had so far. It doesn't taste like medicine, or have an after taste like other pre-workout drinks I've had in the past. It's also sour, as I just finished drinking it right now, but it's really good!
Performance: 10/10
I'm the type of person who doesn't like a high dose of beta-alanine. With that being said, 1.5 grams of beta-alanine is just perfect for me. I don't like having the "itchiness" feeling, but this is just enough for me to feel it. I would like to warn you if you're taking this product at night, to be careful because you may find yourself having trouble going to sleep at the time that you want to. I remember wanting to workout at night, but didn't have enough energy and was a bit tired. I took a scoop of this, and I was up even after exhausting myself during my workout. I don't know much about all of the ingredients, but there is also 1 gram of Creatine Nitrate. There IS a big difference when I take this and workout, and when I don't take this and workout. It gives me an extra boost, which I love about it.
Overall: 10/10
I would like to say that this is a product I would actually buy. There's absolutely nothing I can say bad about it, and I'm hoping it'll stay like that in the future. This is one of the top pre-workouts on my list, so you'll never see me too far from this product, for the reason I like cycling off a pre-workout like it recommends.Displaying reviews 1-10
