I'll admit I have a soft spot for supplements you drink instead of swallow. You're already making coffee or a smoothie anyway, so one more scoop doesn't feel like a chore. That's the whole idea behind Nitric Boost. It's a flavored powder, one scoop a day, designed to support healthy blood flow, energy and confidence in the bedroom.
The jar says Nitric Boost Ultra on the front and holds 30 servings. So one jar, one month.
What goes into the scoop
Everything in the formula points at nitric oxide, the molecule your body uses to relax blood vessel walls so blood can move freely. Here's the lineup:
Beet root powder, a food source of dietary nitrate that endurance athletes love
L-arginine, the amino acid your body turns into nitric oxide
L-citrulline DL-malate, which the body converts into arginine and which has been studied for circulation and exercise
Niacin (vitamin B3), which helps with energy metabolism
Horny goat weed, a traditional Chinese herb and the source of icariin
Ginkgo biloba, a circulation herb with centuries of use
Dong quai, a root found in many traditional Chinese formulas
D-aspartic acid, an amino acid common in men's vitality products
What caught my eye is the pairing of beets with arginine and citrulline. Those are three of the best known ways people support nitric oxide through food and supplements, and here they come together in one drink. The label doesn't give an amount for any ingredient. Beet nitrate and citrulline have human research showing modest effects on nitric oxide markers, but those studies used real amounts, citrulline usually 1.5 to 6 grams a day, so it's not possible to compare.
The cGMP angle
The sales page frames the product around cGMP, a signaling molecule that tells the smooth muscle in your blood vessels to relax. The company's view is that keeping the nitric oxide pathway well supplied helps keep that signal strong. It's a neat way of explaining why the ingredient list looks the way it does.
The story is told by "Jack Jordan," which the fine print says is a pen name.
Using it day to day
One scoop. Stir it into water, blend it into a shake or mix it into tea. That's it.
The company says Nitric Boost is vegan and made in the USA in a GMP facility. If you haven't taken niacin before, you might feel a short warm, pink flush on your face or chest. It's a normal reaction to vitamin B3 and usually fades within the hour.
Prices and what you get
One jar: $69 plus shipping
Three jars: $177, which works out to $59 a jar, with free US shipping and two bonus ebooks
Six jars: $294, or $49 a jar, with free US shipping and the same bonuses
On the six jar bundle you're paying about $1.63 a day, which is less than most coffee shop drinks. US orders are quoted at three to five business days, and checkout is a one time payment through ClickBank.
I like the refund terms here. There's a 60 day money back guarantee, and the company says you can send back even an empty jar. Two months is plenty of time to see whether a daily scoop suits you.
A good fit if...
You'd rather drink your supplements than swallow capsules. You're curious about nitric oxide ingredients like beets and citrulline. Or you just want one product instead of buying three or four separately. It also slots in nicely before a workout, since the same ingredients show up in plenty of pre workout drinks.
One practical note: if you take nitrate heart medicine, a prescription for erectile function, blood pressure medication or a blood thinner, have a quick word with your doctor before you start. New erection problems can also be an early sign of heart disease or diabetes, so they're worth a checkup in their own right.

A daily scoop, a familiar set of circulation ingredients and two months to decide. If that sounds like your kind of routine, the current bundles and bonuses are on the official Nitric Boost site.
