Manufacturer’s Claim
This review examines the product Pure Encapsulations Nitric Oxide Support. This product claims to…
- Helps provide better circulation and oxygen flow to the muscles being used
- Boosts energy levels
- Non-allergenic formula suitable for all users
- Powder formula for easy use
Formula
- L-arginine(alpha-ketoglutarate) – 2.050mg
- Citrulline (malate) – 715mg
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) – 200mg
Other ingredients include:
- Xylitol
- Stevia leaf extract
- Luo han guo (Momordica Grosvenori) Fruit Extract
- Natural lemon and lime flavorsThe formula is a power packed L-arginine-based formula. Coupled with the Citrulline, it provides the standard Nitric Oxide supplement to boost circulation and oxygen flow to muscles. What seems to be lacking is the balance of beetroot extract, pycnogenol, and quercetin for active recovery post-workout. Another concern is the amount of artificial sweeteners and flavor additives found in the product with undisclosed quantities.

The recommendation for consumption is 1 heaped scoop (5.4g) of powder mixed with water per day, 20 minutes pre-workout.

Pure Encapsulations Nitric Oxide Support Review – The Bottom Line
The bottom line when it comes to Pure Encapsulations’ Nitric Oxide Support is that it seems to be a good basic Nitric Oxide supplement for its intended purpose. It may possibly be in excess of what the daily recommended dosage should be by a few mg’s for a supplement, bordering on what would be considered a medical dose. One downside is that there are artificial sweeteners and flavorings which take away from the supplement being a clean choice of preference. The 30-day money-back guarantee does also not give you much time to try out the product.
