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 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.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
C4 is it an explosive device, because that's what I felt like while taking it.
I normally LOVE Cellucore products, but this particular one my body just doesn't agree with!!! Sorru to all the hard cores out there but I like other products that don't contain as much Beta and Caffeine. So I will not be recomending this product to anyone.
Thank you.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
Great product, gets me motivated to workout and lift more without as much pain and burnout. It gives you a little bit of a pins and needles sensation, but you won't even notice once you start your workout. Overall great product, wish it wasn't as expensive though -___-

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
Personally I've used this product for 2 months now. It definitely works I can tell you that. I do believe it says it kicks in 30 minutes after you drink it. But for me it kicks in like 10 minutes after I drink it! It feels like needles are running through your body and it feels funky but it gets me going through workouts. One thing I recommend is that to drink plenty of water during and after you workout since it does contain creatine in it. It is so expensive, but it tastes amazing and it shakes up easily. However the blue raspberry tastes like cotton candy to me. If you like cotton candy then this will be a plus for you.

Comments about Cellucor® C4™ Extreme - Blue Raspberry:
Taste 10/10
I figured I should start this review off with my favorite thing about this product. The taste of this is crazy delicious. I could drink this literally all day in a water bottle or something, but then i would wanna kill the weights all day haha. It tastes exactly like blue raspberry. If you want ivy blue razz then use cold water!If you want hot blue razz then use hot....But this really is such a refreshing pre-workout
Effectiveness 8/10
With one scoop of this product you get 135mg of caffeine, which for me is a little low so I take a scoop and a half. With a scoop it will definitely make you wanna get off your butt and go get things done at the gym. It has ingredients necessary for muscle building such as the creatine nitrate. The effectiveness of the N03 is noticeable through vascularity.
Value 10/10
This product at retail may be a little pricey, but it is definitely well worth it for what you get. That is a really good price and well worth it for a product made by Cellucor. They put so much time into getting the exact dosing of what is needed and not adding unnecessary things.
Mixability 10/10
Just mix for like 10 seconds and drink it down. No sediment at the bottom. Smooth to drink. This is by far the easiest pre-workout to mix that I have ever used. You really do not even need that much water. It really all depends on taste preference.- Gender:
