Known for its ability to improve heart health by relaxing and widening the body’s blood vessels, Nitric Oxide (NO) is a truly vital substance. Although NO levels are most easily raised through exercise and sporting activity, it is now possible to take supplements that can boost NO with very little effort (normally through the amino acid, l-Arginine). As most of us will have naturally reduced levels of NO as we age, supplements like these can be a vital means of protecting ourselves from heart disease, but it can also have other benefits too.
Below we take an in-depth look at Phenom Health NO Max Shred to see whether or not it is a “powerful muscle-building supplement”, as claimed by the manufacturers.
Phenom Health NO Max Shred is formulated to increase NO levels in the body, which in turn may help “maximise workout endurance and improve physical performance.” Unlike most other arginine-based NO boosting supplements, this product also contains a significant dose of caffeine, which should boost energy levels significantly.
The product is incredibly expensive, costing $86.95 when purchased direct from the manufacturers. Phenom Health, who manufacture the supplement, fail to provide important information about the product on the official sales website.
There are some side effects that could develop whilst taking Phenom Health NO Max Shred. Because the product is designed to widen blood vessels and may lower blood pressure, it is important that readers who are taking any of the medications listed below consult their physician prior to taking this supplement:
1) Organic nitrate medications such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide,
2) Erectile dysfunction drugs, since the combination of the two may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure,
3) Blood thinner medications, or
4) Medications related to lowering blood pressure.
A more complete list of health restrictions and possible side effects is available below under the Side Effects Tab.
Phenom Health NO Max Shred is an incredibly expensive supplement!
Phenom Health NO Max Shred can be purchased from the official Phenom Health website, where a single bottle costs $86.95. Delivery charges may also apply. The supplement is also sold on Amazon, with a single bottle costing $69.20. Delivery charges may also apply.
A single bottle contains 60 capsules, which will provide a 30 days supply if used as directed. It is designed to be used before a workout, and so if the consumer is not working out daily, then the bottle will obviously last much longer. Having said that, at its lowest price, Phenom Health NO Max Shred still costs $2.31 per workout.
We have a mixed opinion about Phenom Health NO Max Shred.
The manufacturers fail to provide vital product information on their official website, including a full ingredients list; thankfully this can be found elsewhere, but it is an unprofessional move to neglect to add it to the official website.
The ingredient quantities are inadequate in some cases; whilst 200 mg of caffeine will cause a moderate energy boost and may increase the consumer’s metabolic rate, the 200 mg doses of Arginine and Citrulline are far from adequate. For example, the standard pre-workout dose for L-arginine is 3-6g.
The manufacturers offer a 30 day returns policy, but they do not clearly state whether they accept opened bottles for refunds. Having said that, it is available at a cheaper price on amazon, but this will be subject to a different returns policy. Even at a discounted rate, this is still an incredibly expensive supplement.
Customer reviews are limited, with three positive reviews and one negative review. Ultimately, consumers who are not undertaking the correct muscle building exercises are unlikely to see any results from this supplement; it can only boost the results seen from direct muscle building efforts.
Overall, we do not recommend Phenom Health NO Max Shred to our readers.
Phenom Health NO Max Shred is formulated to increase NO levels in the body, which in turn may help “maximise workout endurance and improve physical performance”. Whilst the manufacturers have stated that the product is formulated exclusively for men, they have not specified why it is suited for men and not for women.
Phenom Health NO Max Shred is manufactured by Phenom Health, who are based in the USA. The company can be contacted using the information found on their official website.
The manufacturers provide the following description of the product’s benefits:
“NO Max Shred is a powerful muscle-building supplement. By supporting nitric oxide levels in the blood, NO Max Shred can improve blood flow and support muscle growth, strength, and performance.”
They also state:
“Specially formulated for men, with active ingredients L-Citrulline and L-Arginine. NO Max Shred is a nitric oxide booster that helps maximize workout endurance and improve physical performance. It helps support the volume of blood that flows to the tissues by encouraging the body’s smooth muscles to relax. The result is a shorter recovery time and muscles ready to work harder.
Phenom Health NO Max Shred contains some ingredients that might help to increase Nitric Oxide levels in the body, including beetroot extract, Citrulline and Arginine.
The ingredient quantities are inadequate in some cases; whilst 200 mg of caffeine will cause a moderate energy boost and may increase the consumer’s metabolic rate, the 200 mg doses of Arginine and Citrulline are far from adequate. For example, the standard pre-workout dose for L-arginine is 3-6g. This means that, although the ingredients will theoretically work in the way the manufacturers describe, in practice the effects may be limited, or possibly not even noticeable.
The ingredients found in Phenom Health NO Max Shred are detailed below. The ingredient quantities listed are per two capsules serving. This information was taken from an image of the product label on Amazon, as the manufacturer has not provided a complete ingredients list of the official product website.
There are some ingredients found in NO Max Shred that could cause a range of side effects.
Significant quantities of caffeine can cause side effects such as headaches, increased urination, dehydration, jitteriness, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, heart palpitations and problems sleeping.
Capsicum can cause increased sweating, stomach irritation, flushed skin and a runny nose.
Supplements that are designed to increase Nitric Oxide levels can lower blood pressure; anyone who already has low blood pressure, or who is taking medications that affect blood pressure, should avoid this supplement and others that claim to increase NO levels.
Caution:
Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Keep away from children. Consult a health care practitioner if you have a serious medical condition or use prescription medications. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 2 months.
Consult your physician prior to taking this supplement if you’re taking:
1) Organic nitrate medications such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide,
2) Erectile dysfunction drugs, since the combination of the two may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure,
3) Blood thinner medications, or
4) Medications related to lowering blood pressure.
Discontinue use and contact your physician if you experience dizziness or fainting.
There are only a few customer reviews that have been left for Phenom Health NO Max Shred on the Amazon sales page and on the manufacturer’s official website.
Been using this in combination with TestX Core and hitting the gym twice a week. Started to really see gains within a fortnight!
This is the best N.O. yet!! After trying several brands this one is the best for me so far. Best pump and work outs ever!! only draw back is the cost.
I guess I was expecting more, I cannot see benefits when I workout.
Working great so far.
