Nitrous+Oxide+(laughing+gas)

Nitrous Oxide, also known as N 2 O, is commonly used as an anesthetic in dentistry and some surgeries. It is colorless at room temperature, and non flammable. Nitrous Oxide or "NOS" is also used to increase engine power in different forms of racing vehicles and rockets.

Nitrous Oxide can cause a calming effect if inhaled. Dentists use Nitrous Oxide to calm their patients down while performing procedures. Nitrous Oxide is commonly known to many as laughing gas.

Nitric Oxide, a key molecule manufactured by the body, causes vasodilation (an expansion of the internal diameter of blood vessels), which in turn leads to increased blood flow, oxygen transport, delivery of nutrients to skeletal muscle and a reduction in blood pressure. An amino acid compound called arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (A-AKG) and arginine-ketoisocaproate (A-KIC) can boost short term Nitric Oxide levels. Increased strength and markedly improved stamina can also be expected. In fact, the results may be classified into three categories: NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC, natural myodilators that may help boost nitric oxide levels in your body, thereby increasing blood flow, oxygen transport, and delivery of nutrients to skeletal muscle. Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency? Everyone needs nitric oxide to carry out key physiological processes within the body. From a bodybuilder's perspective, nitric oxide supplementation may prove useful in increasing growth due to increases in blood flow to certain areas of the body. Further, men suffering from erectile dysfunction may also find supplementing with nitric oxide helpful. Signs of deficiency include the inability to achieve and sustain erections, physical weakness and extreme fatigue. Most "nitric oxide" supplements contain the amino acid Arginine-alpha-keto-glutarate.
 * The promotion of an extended pump.
 * Signaling muscle growth and speeding recovery.
 * Increasing strength and stamina.
 * NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help your muscles experience an extended pump.
 * NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help your body signal muscle growth and speed recovery.
 * NO2 contains A-AKG and A-KIC which may help improve your strength and stamina.
 * NO2 utilizes the A-DS Advanced Delivery System which enhances absorption of the active compounds to insure uptake and help sustain powerful effects around the clock.

Today, we know that nitrous oxide (N2O) on its own can only safely be used for short periods of time (because the lack of oxygen in pure N2O can lead to unconsciousness and even death) – but that it’s safe to use for longer periods of time if you mix it with oxygen (O2). Hence, the “laughing gas” used now is called N2O-O2, and contains at least 30% oxygen (that’s all the machines used nowadays will permit). Usually, the mix is about 70% oxygen to 30% nitrous oxide.

In medicine, sometimes a mix of 50% oxygen to 50% nitrous oxide is used. This is known as//entonox// or, more commonly, “gas and air”.

Depending on the concentration and length of administration of laughing gas, four levels of sedation can be experienced (after an initial feeling of light-headedness):


 * 1) a tingling sensation, especially in the arms and legs, or a feeling of vibration (“parasthesia”), quickly followed by
 * 2) warm sensations, and
 * 3) a feeling of well-being, euphoria and/or floating. During heavier sedation, hearing may dissolve into a constant, electronic-like throbbing.
 * 4) At a deeper level of sedation again, sleepiness, difficulty to keep one’s eyes open or speak (“dream”) can occur. Should nausea set in, it means you’re definitely oversedated!

What are the side effects? With any amino acid containing product, overdose is a possibility. Dosing with too much arginine can lead to diarrhea, weakness and nausea. Clear dosing guidelines have not been established, so it is best to do what is known as "tolerance mapping". Take a small dosage for one week, note the benefits and the side effects, and increase the dosage until the benefits are maximized and the side effects minimized. Over time the two will converge and you will hit the optimal dose. Benefits
 * Improves strength and stamina.
 * Increased muscle growth and recovery.
 * Increases muscle pumps.

Environmental
N2O is a greenhouse gas with tremendous global warming potential (GWP). When compared to carbon dioxide (CO2), N2O has 310 times the ability per molecule of gas to trap heat in the atmosphere. N2O is produced naturally in the soil during the microbial processes of nitrification and denitrification. The United States of America signed and ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) in 1992, agreeing to inventory and assess the various sources of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. The agreement requires parties to “develop, periodically update, publish and make available…national inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol, using comparable methodologies…”. In response to this agreement, the U.S. is obligated to inventory anthropogenic emissions by sources and sinks, of which agriculture is a key contributor. In 2008, agriculture contributed 6.1% of the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and cropland contributed nearly 69% of total direct nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Additionally, estimated emissions from agricultural soils were 6% higher in 2008 than 1990.
