Benefits of OptiNOs®
+60 lbs
Bench Press Gain in Six Weeks
Paired with supervised training four days a week, resistance-trained men taking 750mg a day raised their bench press from 112 to 172 lbs over six weeks, compared with a 6 lb gain on placebo.*
2.6X
More Reps at the Same Weight
Paired with supervised training four days a week, reps to exhaustion rose from 4.2 to 10.9 over six weeks, compared with 5.5 to 7.0 on placebo.*
+82 lbs
Leg Press Gain in Six Weeks
Paired with supervised training four days a week, leg press rose from 168 to 250 lbs over six weeks, compared with a 7 lb gain on placebo.*
+0.2 in
Upper-Arm Size in Six Weeks
Paired with supervised training four days a week, upper-arm size grew about 0.2 inches on each arm over six weeks, compared with almost no change on placebo.*
How OptiNOs® Works
OptiNOs is built to work alongside your training. In lab studies, its plant extracts activated mTOR, a signal muscle cells use to make new protein. Those are cell results, not results in people. Pair it with consistent training and enough protein.
What the research shows so far:
- In cell studies: the three plant extracts activated mTOR signaling inside muscle cells.
- In cell studies: OptiNOs increased nitric oxide production in blood vessel cells.
- In people: in a six-week study of resistance-trained men, the group taking the OptiNOs plant blend, without the added amino acids, gained more strength and reps than placebo when paired with training.*
- What it didn't show: changes in lean mass, body fat, and post-workout lactate weren't significantly different from placebo.
What to Expect Over Time
Take OptiNOs every day, on training and rest days. The study results came from six weeks of daily use.
Week 1
Take it daily alongside your normal training.
Weeks 2 and 3
In the study, the OptiNOs group pulled ahead of placebo on strength by the day 14 check-in.*
Weeks 4 to 6
By week six, the OptiNOs group had added 60 lbs to their bench press and 82 lbs to their leg press, compared with 6 and 7 lbs on placebo.*
The Collection Way
Clean
Patented, Researched Ingredients
Every extract in our four core formulas is patented, named and dosed, with the research behind it listed, so you know what you’re taking and what it’s for.
Simple
Explanations You Can Actually Understand
Most supplement labels read like a chemistry exam. We show you the science behind each formula, so you can understand what you’re taking and why.
Honest
Research You Can Read
OptiNOs and MaxiNOs each have a human trial. BacoZest is dosed to match published bacopa trials that used other extracts. CurQLife’s research is still in the lab, and we show you where each formula stands.
Every batch of OptiNOs goes through the same testing before it reaches you. We screen for bacteria, mold, and pathogens, test for heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, confirm potency to make sure the active compounds are at the right levels, verify the plants are what they're supposed to be, and check for every major allergen class, including gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, and shellfish.

OptiNOs® FAQs
Still have a question? Ask your health coach.
Do I need to keep training for this to work?
Yes. OptiNOs doesn't replace your training. Everyone in the study was a resistance-trained man who kept training under supervision four days a week, and the strength gains came alongside that training.
Is OptiNOs safe for long-term daily use?
OptiNOs was well tolerated in its 42-day study, with one mild adverse event reported and judged unrelated. Data beyond six weeks isn't available, so check with your doctor if you have a medical condition or take medication.
Can I take OptiNOs with a pre-workout?
Yes, OptiNOs has no caffeine or stimulants in it, so it stacks cleanly with any pre-workout.
Can I take OptiNOs with creatine?
Yes. OptiNOs was studied for strength gains in resistance-trained men, and the two haven't been studied together, so we can't say how much they add up. Talk to your health coach for more information on adding OptiNOs to your supplement routine.
