Do Nitric Oxide Supplements Work?

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.

Bodybuilders have been using nitric oxide products for several years now, in order to increase the blood flow in the body. This will get essential nutrients to the muscles a lot faster, enlarging them and reducing the inflammation and pain that often occurs when they come under 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.

After a while you will reach a point where the side effects and benefits meet and this will show you what your ideal dose is. If you are already taking a protein supplement for building muscle mass you should be aware that these also contain amino acids. If you plan on taking nitric oxide supplements you may want to cut back on your protein intake slightly in order to avoid ingesting too many 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. - 17274
