L-Arginine — 500 mg: An amino acid that serves as a precursor to nitric oxide, helping support blood vessel dilation, circulation, and blood flow during exercise.*
L-Arginine HCl — 500 mg: A hydrochloride form of L-arginine that supports nitric oxide production and healthy blood flow, potentially contributing to muscle pumps during resistance training.*
Arginine AKG 2:1 — 500 mg: Combines arginine with alpha-ketoglutarate to support nitric oxide production and circulation, although evidence for additional performance benefits over standard L-arginine is limited.*
L-Citrulline — 375 mg: An amino acid that helps increase circulating arginine levels, supporting nitric oxide production, blood flow, and potentially exercise performance.*
L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 — 375 mg: Combines L-citrulline with malate to support nitric oxide production and exercise performance, although the amount provided is below commonly studied doses.*
Other Ingredients: Gelatin Capsule, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Calcium Silicate, Silicon Dioxide.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Dosing: Take 3 capsules daily with 8–12 oz of water.
Timing: For pre-workout use, take 30 to 60 minutes before training to allow plasma arginine levels to rise before your session begins.* It can also be taken on non-training days to support general circulatory function.*
Stacking: Stacks well with pre-workouts, creatine, BCAAs, and other non-stimulant supplements.*
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children.
Reviewed by Garett Reid, MSc, CSCS, CISSNStrength coach & sports nutrition specialist · · About the author
Bucked Up Essentials Nitric Oxide Booster combines five forms of arginine and citrulline to support nitric oxide production, circulation, and muscle pumps during exercise.
Each three-capsule serving provides 1,500 mg of combined arginine ingredients and 750 mg of combined citrulline ingredients. While both amino acids are involved in nitric oxide production, citrulline is generally more effective at increasing circulating arginine levels.
I like the stimulant-free formula and transparent ingredient dosing. However, the amounts are considerably lower than those commonly used in exercise performance studies, particularly for citrulline. The multiple forms also make the formula appear more comprehensive without necessarily providing additional benefits. It's an interesting combination, but I would prefer higher doses of fewer ingredients.
