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.

Over the years nitric oxide supplements have become popular with bodybuilders. They help increase the flow of blood in the body, sending essential nutrients to the muscles a lot faster. Nitric oxide supplements also reduce inflammation and pain in the muscles when they get placed under pressure and stress.

When taking any kind of nitric oxide supplement a person should follow the dosage instructions provided by the manufacturer for the simple reason that these contain amino acids. Therefore the chances of a person actually overdosing on these supplements can actually occur. Also if too much of these supplements are taken it can lead to various side effects including diarrhea, nausea and weakness in some people. Therefore when first taking such products including Niox which although states a preferred amount that a person should be taking instead each person should carry out tolerance mapping instead. What this then means is that they take a small dose of the supplement for a week and note down any side effects as well as benefits that they feel it has provided to them. Then you should slowly increase the amount you are taking until you get to a stage where the benefits outweigh side effects completely.

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. - 17269
