I have tried many different brands, read up about it and everybody says that there's is the best. Who makes the best product?
Thanks

You've already found the answer, in saying that you've tried many different brands. Which did you like the best? For taste, was one better than another for the effect? Did you feel any effect whatsoever?
I've never gotten anything from NO supplements, so I don't use them.
Do your own studies (trying different things like you stated above) within your laboratory (your body) and when you find the data you're looking for, then you will know what works best for you- the only person that counts in the grand scheme of things.

I can't vouch for the pills. But, as far as the powders go, the two I'd recommend are N.O.X-PLODE and Nano Vapor.
N.O. XPLODE (Fruit Punch and Lemon-Lime); tastes better than Nano Vapor (Fruit Punch and Blue Raspberry); however, Nano Vapor you can take immediately before your workout, as opposed to 30-45 beforehand like N.O. X-PLODE.

as far as "feeling" the product, n.o. shotgun works the best
-
For pills I prefer Nitrix from BSN, the old formula was fine, but the new one is a bit better since it has beta alanine in it. I tried NO2 and NO2 Black, and even that Muscletech one, I didn't get much from them. As far as drinks, NO xplode is pretty good, but I really like Superpump 250.
-
NO XPLODE or SUPERPUMP 250

N.O. products have never been scientifically proven to be effective at actually helping you build muscle, but they can at times give you a psychological advantage...But, I have tried a few ;D
1. Superpump 250-Great pumps and energy, decent taste, but can give a bout of diahrreah shortly after using, and can be a bit annoying.
2. N.O. Shotgun-Great pumps and energy as well, equal to Superpump, as they actually share similar ingredients, but the taste of Shotgun is absolutely rancid.
As far as ingredients go, and the effects that they have I would try these two, as they seem to have been sucessful for numerous other trainers as well.

I've only had a sample of NO Shotgun but it does work, tru that.
-
The only ones that even work at all for me are NO Shotgun and SAN V12 Turbo. I like Beverly's Muscle Synergy but that is much more than an NO product.

The Bubble Gum flavor was iffy. The new Fruit Punch flavor is actually pretty good.
-
shock therapy and shotgun get my vote.. stay away from the pills
-
stay away from the pills
agree

agree
i liked the pills 3 six star at 20.00 a bottle was good for me before training ,really brought out veins and pump,its all cosmetic not tremendous strenght gain ,more training intensity.why don't u favor pills?
-
Any powder I have ever tried seems to work better for me.
-
N.O. Explode is pretty good stuff. All those type supps make my stomach queezy, but they do seem to amp the workout a decent amount. Especially if you are a ephedrine burnout like me 8)
-

Agreed.
-
no explode and superpump 250
-
if you cant get past the flavor of the NO shotgun, try adding a little bit of crystal light, completley covers the flavor

The ingredients have been proven to help aid in giving the trainer a "pump" and even increase vascularity, but as far as truly helping the athlete build muscle, they have not been proven to be effective.
Unless you consider the studies that show caffeine being effective with giving strength increases.

ive tried no xplod and super pump and SAN Fierce for powders and for pills ive tried nitrix, NO2 and NO2 Black. for the powders id say they all have an affect but id say SAN fierce is the best, for some reason i grow quite immune to noxplod and superpump after about a week and continually have to up the dosage. i didnt get anything out of nitrix but did like the NO2 and liked even more NO2 Black...id say the powders have some descent advantages preworkout but as far as the pills i just like the way i feel all day on them, veins coming out more and a little tighter feeling... I really am interested in plasma jet anyone with any experience with it i would like to hear about it...
-
I've only tried NO2 black (if anyone has tried something vs. NO2 black ..maybe a powder..etc. let me know I like to try different supplments..not biased)....anyway....I pretty much do Full body workouts very heavy from top to bottom. Mostly all compound heavy push and pulls to keep my power and overall strength above avg. (bench, squats, power cleans, deads..etc) only a few "icing on the cake lifts" and even they are 90% max lifts.....I can honestly say I have basically zero soreness on NO2 the next day and I can make it through my workouts all the time and I still do cardio for 45 minutes afterward.
I must say...I do exp "some" headaches when I over hydrate on this supplement. So basically I don't drink as much water throughout the days when i'm off and i'm fine.
I don't do any sparring right now, so i'm all good. I'd buy NO2 black again. I workout to failure in the gym when lifting and I seem to make it through every time.
again i'm open to other products that are cheaper. NO2 can be a pain to the wallet at times.

i've tried no2 pills 6 star a knock off brand of muscletech,20.00 bucks 3 before training great pump,nice veins,i recently bought olympian labs aakg powder 2 bottles 14.99 for both,vitamin shoppe nothing fancy just that ingrediant,i feel same good pump.you need to be lean to see any cosmetic look arginine gives in my opinion.

exactly---its the main ingredient in all the NO products
personally i go with NOW's AAKG----it has 3500mg of AAKG per serving and is only $20 for a months supply

how many pills do you take? i bought the same one, taking 3/day
-
Shock Therapy 100 % :-*
-

3--- 3 times a day
I notice NO products such as this---the NO xplode are crap---just lots of caffeine
you have to take this for around 14-17days before you feel it---most people arent patient and consistent enough to feel the effects---thats why they dog it
be consistent and take 3 ---3 times a day and you'll get good pumps within a couple of weeks and after around 4 weeks its will really kick in
-
the best ones i took were'
Shotgun VPX---unbelievable pumps, stamina, strength on it
White Blood by controlled labs...always works for me...i would stack it w/ green bulge(creatine)
-
anyone know the Nitric oxide they sell at MaxMuscle that comes in watermelon? its a powder
-
off topic but ive noticed the creatine that works best for me is regular old creatine monohydrate (prolab is great---its a german made creatine--creapure)
teh cell-masses and other shit are usually crap (I dont buy into the creatine esters :-\)------the only one I really like was the "juiced creatine" by pinnacle they made about 3-4 years ago--shit worked fantastic...my strength went up like crazy, every week I was grabbing new dumbells
I used to be a district manager for a supplement company so I would get free bottles of various shit from company reps to try and see if I wanted to stock it in my stores. This is how Ive tried so many products---I wouldnt spend half the money some of this shit costs
