Promotes increased nitric oxide (NO) production, for enhanced circulation. Enhances blood flow for better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscle. How does NSI® AAKG 3000 L-Arginine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate work? L-Arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG) is a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance produced during the body's energy-generating process. L-arginine is known to promote circulation. It's a precursor to nitric oxide (NO), which is a key regulator of vasodilation (the process by which blood vessels dilate, allowing a greater volume of blood to flow through). L-arginine may help enhance athletic performance by increasing oxygen supply and nutrient delivery to working muscles. The increased blood flow may also contribute to enhanced sexual performance. In addition, L-arginine stimulates the production of human growth hormone (HGH), a chemical produced by the body that promotes growth and plays an essential role in metabolism. HGH is popular among athletes because it's believed to play a part in building lean muscle mass and increasing strength. Unfortunately, in order to experience the potential performance-enhancing effects of L-arginine, high doses, which may cause stomach upset, must be taken frequently. AAKG is considered an advanced, "gold standard" form of L-arginine that provides pronounced and powerful effects. It's better absorbed than L-arginine and is believed to be like getting a "double dose" of arginine in one dose. NSI® AAKG 3000 L-Arginine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate is better because it:. Delivers 3 grams of AAKG per two-teaspoon serving. Is high-quality and value-priced! . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"Tastes really bad on its own, but taken a little before working out, you can feel a difference. It's subtle, but take it a little bit before your workout and you'll feel a consistent, steady increase in energy and feeling of well being. I do anyways :)"

"I changed from Now L-Arginine to this product. I used it for over a week and saw a decline in my performance. I've discontinued use of NSI AAKG and using Now L-Arginine. NSI AAKG was a complete waste my money."

"I have tried many NO boosters and this one I had high hopes for but I was let down once again. I didnt experience any results at all from this product Other than a Strong Odor like BO when taking this product. Once I stopped taking this product the Fishy/BO smell was gone. I was taking about 7Grams pre workout. Im gonna use NO Black as I do get a pump and am more alert from that NO product."

better blood circulation,August 4, 2008
By goodqualitylowpricefrom france
"the product indeed provides better blood circulation which improves brain as well as muscles functions. Only disadvantage: stomach pain sometimes. I suggest to take in the morning before any meal."
"I have never felt the effects of an arginine product the way I feel this one. Absolutely the best I have ever tried, and I have tried many different brands in all price ranges. NSI did it right with this one. Great value, even better effects. Give this one a try, it is well worth it."
No pump from this.,May 9, 2008
By TXboyfrom Houston, TX
"I was taking BSN No xplode and Cell mass before this and was very happy with the results. NSI products are much cheaper, but the results cannot compare to the results I achieved from BSN No xplode and cell mass. I am taking NSI AAKG 3000, NSI L-Glutamine Powder 4,500 mg, & NSI Creatine Ethyl Ester CEE 2500. I will be going back to BSN or I will try a different brand after I used up the NSI products."
Comparable to MRI NO2 BLACK,January 17, 2008
By Gymbumfrom San Diego
"I used to use MRI's NO2 Black before it put me in the poor house. At $80 a bottle for ALMOST a one month supply, it wasn't long before I had to look for something new. MRI's NO2 did work really well, gave me a great pump and very quick recovery. But again, the price is borderline robbery. So I decided to give NSI's AAKG powder a try. I choose this for a) the price b) I like how it's a powder and can be mixed in with your pre-workout drink such as Black Poder or NO Xplode with no odd taste c) The powder hits you faster than any pills will d) THERE ARE OVER 160 SERVINGS per container!!! Now for the product; this stuff is amazing. It gave me a pump as good, if not better than NO2 Black. It kept me fueled the entire time I was at the gym, providing me with fast recovery and great strenght increases. I never got any sort of cramping or build up. I feel like a total idiot for spening so much on other NO2 products, but I am happy now that I found this. I will continue to buy this for as long as Vitacost carries it (which won't be for a while due to the amount you get but you catch my drift...) In all, buy this before you go out and spend money on a "name brand" product like I did, you will not regret it."
Making running seem easier,December 13, 2007
By over50runnerfrom California
"I take about half a teaspoon before my 1 hour run and I feel as if the run is much less effort. Additionally I am recovering much quicker, so I can train a little faster."
"I started taking L-Arginine caps in March. Never saw much benefit, and kept buying new bottles mainly because the magazines say you need it. But this AAKG powder has made me a believer. Took a couple of tries to get used to the taste, but then wow! I chug some on an empty stomach and within a few minutes feel it powering through my veins."

"If you have ever taken vascular dilation products like Arginine before, you know how they work. Arginine increases blood vessel size so that more blood can flow through the veins. This is a key part of getting nutrients to muscles. NSI's AAKG does this just as effectively as BSN's Nitrix does (or any AAKG suppliment for that matter), at a fraction of the price. The quality of this AAKG is fantastic, and you can mix it in a shake. It's always best to take Arginine on an empty stomach, so I suggest you mix it with some gatorade powder (this AAKG is almost tasteless). I have created my own shake with NSI products. It includes NSI's CEE 2500 powder (I use about 3000-3500mg's of CEE) and a large scoop of the AAKG, about 3-5g's worth. Mix this with some gatorade powder, and you have a shake that gets you your serving of CEE and AAKG all in one easy to swallow package. I give this product a 5 for effectiveness, and most of all, value. I am on my 2nd tub of both this and the CEE 2500."
