Do Nitric Oxide products make you dumb?

[CBGB]

Seriously, I like to use plasmacore,nano vapor, etc. before my workouts. I get an intense workout from them and feel focused while in the gym but here is the problem. I feel dumber than a box of hammers afterwards. Can't carry a conversation, drive like a j@ckass. I feel like a superhero, just don't ask me to do any math. Am I just that drained afterwards, or is there something to this?







flame away

I take it before I have a test the day of a test and It seems to help me out. Its probable all psychological. But isnt that most of test taking anyway....LOL

your over working your self

[Rockstar1990]

HMM nitric oxide dilates the blood viens to produce a better blood flow which equal a better blood flow to the brain which could help you think clearer, but if you do work out real hard in the gym you body is drain and freakng out because you broke down your muscle tissue, so thats probably your problem

Short answer: No.

lol I thought it said dump.


It gives me the shits all the time

yea man, those pre work out drinks tear my stomach up. i literally stopped taking superpump as a pre work out supp, and started taking it in the a.m. just so i can drop the browns off at the super bowl regularly. if you take too much of that shit, it'll feel like an aderall overdose, so i see why you think it makes you "dumber".

Haha yeah...it's like using a colon cleanser every day I work out.

[TheJuicer]

Its the crash that alot of these Pre-workout supplement give you that make you feel dumb. I switch to Animal Pump and I dont crash at all anymore.

[CBGB]

I forgot to ask about the Sh!ts. Thought that was normal.

[PIGPEN8181]

I have tried the NaNOX9 Harcore and I got skin bursting pumps the first week and after that, it felt like I was taking a multivitamin. No pump, no extra energy. nothing. But that's just me.

[CBGB]

Could it have something to do with sugar levels?

[RATTLEHEAD]

Probably not. All sugar will do is cause an eventual crash but it shouldn't make someone feel "dumb". I've never heard of sugar having profound cognitive effects. It's probably some form of a neurotropic causing it and he's just not use to how neurotropic effect him.

[CBGB]

neurotropic? Care to explain please?


Really it's not to big of a deal. It may have more to do with my concentration on the subject at hand. (lifting, focus) I generally don't have as much time in the gym as I like so I hit it pretty hard. 20 min or so and i feel fine. I was just a little curious to see if it effected anybody else.

Look at the ingredient list on the back of Nano Vapor. One of the sections under nutrition facts says "neuroAMP" I believe. Those supplements will have a very noticeable effect on you "mentally". It usually makes you more focused, but the best way I can explain it is that it feels similar to taking adderall. So I can see where you say you "feel dumber" because that stuff makes you feel kinda crazy I guess if your not use to it. Also, there's a ton of caffeine in this supplement. So that can amplify the effects of that awkward feeling. One other thing I think nano vapor has is beta-alanine. beta alanine can make your skin turn a little red and i've heard people say it made them feel itchy for a little while. So maybe that contributed to it? My friend use to take that stuff and he said it always made him nauseous, he definitely wasn't a fan of nano vapor. So taking that all into consideration, some of those factors may be why you felt dumber after you took it.

i tried one jar that was given out to me about a year ago and it made me neither a smart a$$ nor a dumba$$. my opinion is that most of the over the counter stuff are overpriced and overadvertized.

That makes sense, Thank you
