MuscleTech has been leaning into peptide delivery systems as part of their innovation strategy. The term "peptide" is gaining a lot of popularity in the sports nutrition world as more and more research becomes readily available. MuscleTech was the first major company to lean into this new technology when it comes to over-the-counter oral supplements.
MuscleTech Nitric Oxide Peptide 160 uses two ingredients with the sole purpose of increasing nitric oxide and improving blood flow into the muscles. A system that uses one ingredient to trigger a nitric oxide response and another to relax the blood vessels to allow more blood flow into the muscle.

MuscleTech Nitric Oxide Peptide 160™ Supplement Facts
The term “peptide” will be seen more and more in the over-the-counter supplement industry. Peptides have gained a lot of popularity on social media due to the new research backing claims for recovery. The social media content created is generally around injectable peptides, but MuscleTech is using the peptide technology in oral supplements that optimize delivery.
MuscleTech’s Nitric Oxide Peptide 160 is an oral supplement designed to improve nitric oxide response and push more blood into the muscles.
HydroNOx – 1g
HydroNOx is a citrulline hydrochloride amino acid derivative from Vireo Systems. Claims state that this version of citrulline is 3x more concentrated than generic L-citrulline. Early studies indicate that 2g of HydroNOx is as effective or more than 6g of L-citrulline as it achieved 333% better citrulline to arginine ratio once consumed.
Citrulline is the precursor to arginine. This triggers nitric oxide to improve blood flow into the muscles. At the 1g dosage you could “assume” that this would be as effective as 3g of L-citrulline. The benefits of citrulline start at 3-5g.
Users may want to take a double dosage of this to achieve the best pumps if using as a standalone.
VasoDrive-AP – 150mg
VasoDrive-AP is derived from casein protein. VasoDrive-AP has been shown to be a vaso-relaxation ingredient. This means it relaxes the blood vessels allowing them to widen to get more blood into the muscles. The standard dosage of VasoDrive-AP is 508mg.
This formula contains 150mg which is less than the standard dosage. That doesn’t mean it won’t provide a benefit, it just won’t be as effective as the full 508mg dosage.
Users may want to take a double dosage of this to achieve the best pumps if using as a standalone.

Final Takeaway on MuscleTech Nitric Oxide Peptide 160™
I like the concept here, however I believe you would want to take 2x the dosage if you are using this as a standalone product. This was meant to be an add-on to other MuscleTech products like EuphoriQ so at one dose with that product this would be sufficient. It comes down to usage and how you intend to use it. As an add one, 1 serving could be beneficial. As a standalone, you will want to take 2x the dosage to achieve optimal results.
