Sheer N.O Review – Product Overview

Sheer Strength Labs are one of the best and fastest growing sports supplement companies in America. They are based in Dallas, Texas. They are a brand that I am very familiar with.

They, Sheer Strength Labs, base their entire product range on rock solid science and only use ingredients that have been proven by documented research and science to be effective.

Their products are used by athletes, celebs and professional trainers alike, which is a testament to their effectiveness and quality.

The particular product that I am reviewing here is simple in design and formulation. the design is clean and discreet, unlike some other products that are specifically aimed for men with sexual problems, which is not the actual target market for this product, but a very nice secondary market for it.

Delivery, is, as you would expect, very discreet and sent in the all too familiar amazon package.

Sheer N.O is formulated with L Arginine Hydrochloride, L Arginine Alpha KetoGlutarate, L Citrulline Malate, and Pine Bark Extract. That is 4 simple but very effective ingredients.

The Formula

Let us now talk in more detail about the product’s formulation, and how the individual ingredients function in relation to helping you to improve your blood flow and get better and harder erections. 

L-Arginine HCL: This form of L Arginine is the actual form that I take daily, and have done so for over a year now and will do so perpetually!. The hydrochloride is added to the free form version of the amino acid to make it much easier to absorb by your body and to help you get more of it into your system.

It is just as effective for the treatment of early endings as it is for erectile difficulties.

L Arginine is also established as an excellent substance for increasing your circulation as well as being very good for your heart’s health. It is also rather excellent for your renal health, aiding in the detoxification of your kidneys of ammonia.

Other uses of this amino acid that is of interest for men suffering erectile difficulties include it being effective for diabetes and reducing your cholesterol levels.

There is also evidence of L Arginine possessing the ability to your augment testosterone levels, however, the scientific evidence is limited but positive.

I personally believe this is very viable due to it being very healthy for your kidneys and aiding in the elimination of ammonia, and thus aiding in adrenal health, one of the organs which secrete testosterone.

The ability of L-Arginine to elevate levels of Nitric Oxide, the circulation enhancing molecule, is due to the eNOS process (endothelial, Nitric Oxide Synthase) process and the release of the eNOS enzyme which converts L-Arginine into Nitric Oxide.

L-Arginine —> + The eNOS Enzyme —>Augmented Nitric Oxide Production

Enhanced production of Nitric Oxide results in a much more and natural management of elevated blood pressure [1],  which is a known cause of poor circulation and sexual problems in both men and women.

In high doses, it has been established to stimulate the production of HGH, the Human Growth Hormone, and to be rather handy for men suffering from weak erections [2]

Watch The video below to see how L-Arginine could benefit your performance.

Arginine Alpha KetoGlutarate: This is another form of the amino acid mentioned above and is in actual fact a salt of Arginine which forms part of the citric (kerbs) cycle and plays a central role in your bodies metabolism of nitric oxide. It is, in fact, one of the prime ways in which our bodies produce energy.

Medicinally it is used to aid stomach disorders, liver disease and issues with the intestinal tract. The two compounds of Arginine and Alpha Ketoglutarate are separated by your body and it is very much like taking both of the compounds separately.

Like Arginine Hydrochloride the principle benefits are increased strength, improved production of Nitric Oxide, improved blood flow and circulation as well as improved heart health [3].

L Citrulline Malate: The age old debate is forever taking place in regards to L Citrulline Vs L Arginine a which one should you take. The truth of the matter is, for erectile difficulties you really should take both. And this is not me just merely sitting on the fence.

When you take both together the L-Arginine gives your body that initial spike in nitric oxide and the circulatory boost. L Citrulline, by its very nature, is much slower acting but does provide a sustained and prolonged circulation boost.

And that is where the magic of using both together happens, one for an instant boost, the other for a sustained elevation in your blood flow.

L Citrulline, like Arginine, is an amino acid and forms of the urea cycle alongside L Ornithine. Of which, both are produced in your body by the presence of L Citrulline, and in a bioavailable form.

Once you consume the amino acid L Citrulline your body converts it into a bioavailable form L Arginine and L Ornithine, this is the reason I mega dose on the circulation enhancing substance, more of these two incredibly healthy amino acids for my body to use.

Worthy of note is that when your body converts L Citrulline into L Arginine it increases Your Plasma Arginine levels much more than taking L Arginine by itself [4].

Studies have proven that nitric oxide levels and your circulation could be augmented by as much as 30% and your Human Growth Hormone secretion by a staggering 66%. [5]. More significantly, arterial flexibility improved after only 7 days of use [6].

During a 6 week study regarding the effect of L Citrulline on erectile difficulties, the men participating were able to significantly improve the strength of their erections [7]. This is exactly why you just can’t ignore L-Citrulline as part of any supplementary regime for helping to get better erections naturally.

Malic acid, a very natural substance found in most citric fruits, is added to L-Citrulline to form L-Citrulline Malate. This makes L-Citrulline more absorbable by your body.

Pine Bark Extract: The effect of Pine Bark, also known as Pycnogenol, which is a branded form of Pine Bark and erectile difficulties is quite astounding particularly when combined with L Arginine. Pine Bark is well known to elevate the production of Nitric Oxide by means of Nitric Oxide Synthase.

A study involving 40 men of ages between 25 to 45 during a 3 month study took only L Arginine for the first month, the second month they were given 40mg of Pycnogenol twice daily. The third month the dosage of Pycnogenol (Pine Bark) was increased to 40mg 3 times daily.

By the end of the third month, 92.5% of the participants were able to experience a normal erection while experiencing no side effects [8]. This in itself speaks volumes as to the potential of L Arginine and Pine Bark.
