Cnidium monnieri

You know the look. Immediately after a workout, your arms are pumped up with so much blood that your veins turn into a mini road map! Cnidium Monnieri, a Chinese plant extract, is used by bodybuilders and other strength athletes before training to increase performance, reduce recovery time and promote the pump that turns your veins into a vascular road map. Cnidium works by thwarting the body's chemical efforts to break down the gas nitric oxide, which is responsible for making your veins bulge after you finish your workout with weights. Since the effects of Cnidium Monnieri are more subtle in nature, it is often combined with other supplement ingredients such as L-Arginine, Citrulline Malate, and GPLC to deliver the best possible results. Even though Cnidium Monnieri doesn't throw the "pump show" on its own, it is a valuable member of the supporting cast!

Recent research suggests that Cnidium Monnieri

• Supports the optimal production of nitric oxide.
• Stimulates proper digestive tract function.

How much should you take? Are there any side effects?

Take 100-200mg of Cnidium Monnieri extract in 1 to 2 doses, with one serving taken before exercise.
