Manufacturer’s Claim
This review examines the product BSN Nitrix 2.0 to see what it can do for you. It is a supplement designed to increase the levels of nitric oxide in your body. BSN Nitrix 2.0 claims to support high endurance workout sessions, performance, and recovery.

According to the manufacturer, these ingredients, if used as directed within a balanced diet and controlled exercise regime, provide boosted levels of energy, higher performance outcomes, and faster recovery post workout. However, with a blend of ingredients, it is unclear how much of each ingredient is found in the product. The manufacturer states on their website that there are 3 grams of both L-citrulline and creatine found in the product, however, according to the product’s label, the whole blend constitutes 4 grams of the product so we do not see how this is possible.
Instructions
The daily recommended dosage for the product is to take three tablets two times daily. With a supply of 90 capsules per container, BSN gives a 30-day supply per bottle.
Cost
The BSN Nitrix 2.0 can be purchased from different online retailers. We found one retailer selling it for the sum of $39.99.
There was also a 10% discount on the Auto Delivery option, however, this is one of the alarm bell signs with regards to undisclosed continuous billing plans. Any discounts will depend on the retailer.
Possible Side Effects
The warning label on the packaging cautions users under 18, pregnant women, women trying to fall pregnant or nursing or anyone sensitive to niacin to consult with a doctor before use.
Through our research, we found side effects for niacin and creatine-based products to be possible nausea, cramping, stomach pain and diarrhea.
Guarantee
There is no mention of any guarantee or money back policy offered by the manufacturer. It seems that the return policy will depend on the retailer from where you are buying the product.
BSN Nitrix 2.0 Review – The Bottom Line
BSN Nitrix has positive reviews from its users for short-term endurance boosts specifically with regards to weight lifting and endurance workouts. Its formula is specifically designed to promote healthy blood pressure regulation and improve peripheral vascular resistance, tissue, and muscle oxygenation.
The flip side is that while the formula may achieve its proposed purpose of facilitating a strengthened workout, there is much speculation from the medical research side of whether the effectiveness of the supplement is as a result of the placebo effect or if there are any actual confirmed health benefits from the product itself. The ingredients mentioned on the label don’t seem to match up with what the manufacturer says on their website regarding quantity. This is very concerning.
The lack of a guarantee is also something to be cautioned by.
