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:
I took one serving 20 minutes before my workout and I felt very focused and had more endurance during my lifting. It gave me a nice pump and stimulation, not a "jack3d" pump or a "craze" stimulant but perfect for what I was looking for. It tastes good and I did not experience any stomach issues during or after my workout. Nice Packaging.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
I just started taking this product yesterday and I'm pretty impressed. The flavor is awesome and very tasty (most pre-workouts aren't that great). I had a great pump yesterday during my workout and was able to do more reps with a lot more energy. The only thing that I didn't like was it made my body tingly but that only lasted for 10-15 minutes. I definitely like this a lot better than Jack3d!

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
I took 2 scoops of this product with 6 oz of water 15 minutes before my workout. I start feeling a tingling sensation on my body. But in terms of getting pumps, feeling stronger, more energy. This product does nothing. I dont know how this product has such great reviews. Its a waste of money

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
I am an avid user of Jack3d micro, however I needed to cycle off due to becoming immune. After reading hundreds of reviews for C4 I decided to give it a try. First off upon opening the container I immediately noticed that the smell was like cotten candy that you get at the fair. Ok wasnt to big on the smell as it wa way to sweet smelling. I mixed one scoop the first day with 6oz water. Expecting to taste an overly sweet rasberry, I was amazed that it wasnt to sweet at all, a little tart, but very tastey. No tingles that I read about, no chest pain, what I did notice was an desire to increase wight by 25 to 50 lbs per machine. The pumps I was getting were incredible. I did notice that about 45 minutes before the end of my session it seemed to wear off. Jump forward to next workout, 2 scoops 12 oz water, same power and increase, made it all the way through my workout and then some. Went home did the dishes and the laundry. If you need to cycle I completely recommend this as your second replacement. I will cycle back to jack3d when its time.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
I have used C4 for quite some time now. I love all the flavors except watermellon. I usually will take a scoop and a half pre workout. Instead of waiting the 30 minutes for it to kick in I imediately start my warm up. For that reason I don't experience the "itchies" like my hubby does (I think he likes em, I don't!) I have had good results and hate to cycle off. I have however discovered that this product gives me terrible acne. I didn't realize it for awhile that it was the C4 I started using all sorts of acne treatment products but nothing worked. And when I say acne, I don't mean a pimple here and there. I mean the deep painful mountains that last for a week on my face and back. Honestly, whats the use in having a great body if your face looks like you trasported back to the 90's to relive high school puberty?! The worst part, I've never had acne before...devistating! So sadly I will not be using this product anymore. My hubby on the other hand has zero complection issues and will continue to joyfully experience all the benefits of C4! On a final note, I have and will continue to recommend this product to my friends.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
I use two scoops into a 4-6 oz bottle of water and drink 20-30 before I go workout. Once it kicks in it makes you feel like you can lift a 18-wheeler. It tastes and smells great. Trust me after you start taking it you are going to want to buy it over and over again.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
Very good energy boost before a workout. Great taste and only needs to be mixed with 8-10 oz's of fluid. My recommendation is to mix it with a sports drink (gatorade,powerade, etc.). I would recommend mixing it because when taking it with water, 20 minutes after drinking it, my skin would tingle and itch for a minute. I did research and it is because you are consuming so much caf. at one time. If you mix it with gatorade, the tingling feeling goes away. Overally great product to use before a lift, cardio, or sporting event.
