I was reading up on a supplement that is suppose to be one of the hottest items on the market for fat burning. The product is called nitric oxide, and weight lifters are taking it to gain muscle and burn fat in a short period of time. After reading some articles I was under the impression that the product really worked, I was slightly mislead.
In one of my classes, my professor became sidetracked and started talking about a pill he was taking while doing a weight lifting regimen. He said it was called nitric oxide and it came in large silver circular sized pills. I asked him if he felt that the product worked and if he would recommend it to others and he said he is not sure he would tell others to take it.
The problem he faced while taking the pill was that after 6 weeks and working out and using the supplement, he got very sick in his stomach. Mind you, my professor does endless amounts of research about anything he has an interest in so he was surprised he did not read somewhere about this side effect. He went back to the GNC store that he bought the pills from and asked the clerk why he was getting sick if there was no warming on the bottle addressing this negative effect. The clerk told him that it is not listed because it doesn't happen to everyone but after 4 weeks you are suppose to stop taking the pills for about 2 weeks to let your body balance out the nutrient otherwise it will give you an upset stomach.
It just goes to show you that even if you do a large amount of research about some type of protein you want to start taking, you should find out if it works from someone who has first hand experience taking it.
I find that hard work and lots of sweat is the safest and easiest way to get fit.
Keep Sweating It!
