Ok...

So...

Basically, I guess the question remains open ended... I'm going to take an NO supplement (or NO catalyst?) before diving. The period of when I ingest this will vary for example, I take it maybe 24 hours before a dive, but this will have been say the 5th time I've taken it in a week so levels of the amino acids producing NO will be raised.

Am I increasing / decreasing risk of a bend through the use of these supplements?

It sounds to me (and I'm not a medical person) that I'm decreasing the risk through increasing, not restricting, the amount of NO in my blood.

If I take the supplement 30 minutes prior to a dive, then NO levels will definitely be increased, thus decreasing the risk (in theory - maybe - we're not sure 100%)...

A fair summary?

I'm not necessarily trying to pin down a definitive but get a "feel" really.
