Nitric Oxide Supplements For Bodybuilding

By Tom Cruz

A number of studies have been done that show the effects of nitric oxide supplements. They have been shown to have several benefits for bodybuilders. Still, you should be aware of some things before you begin taking them.

Certainly over the years supplements which contain nitric oxide have been gaining in favour with bodybuilders as it helps to increase the flow of blood around the body and this in turn helps to send essential nutrients around the body including muscles. This results in the muscles becoming enlarged when placed under stress. Plus it helps to reduce the inflammation and pain that is often associated with the problems occurred when muscles come under extreme pressure and stress.

When taking nitric oxide it is important to follow the dosage instructions provided. These supplements contain amino acids and taking too much of them can cause side effects including diarrhea, nausea and even weakness. it may be a good idea to carry out tolerance mapping when you begin taking these supplements. Take as small dose of the supplement for a short period (a week) and see what kind of side effects (if any) and benefits you experience. Depending on your results you can then increase the amount you take.

It may well take time but soon you will meet a plateau where the two (side effects and benefits) meet and this will then be optimum dose you can take at any one time. Also if you are someone who is also using protein powders to help build up lean muscle mass it is essential that you watch how much of these you are using as well as they also contain amino acids. So it may be wise for short period to either cut back or eliminate all protein powders from your dietary requirements as you may find yourself ingesting far too much amino acids.

When thinking of taking any supplement, it is always best to discuss it with your doctor first. He will be able to give you advice on precautions and dosage and tell you what effects a particular product really has. A lot will also depend on your personal health history. - 17273
