Nitric Oxide and Caffeine Products

[luisfershredd]

hey, was wondering if taking NO products and Green Tea (which contains caffeine) of caffeine containing products will be contradictory because one is supposed to be an hemodilator and the other a vasoconstrictor.

I actually take NO supp and was drinking around 25oz green tea (high concentration) a day but stopped drinking it, but feel the fat burning properties have lowered.

Do you think is contradictory or can you mix them w/o prob?

Thanks

FWIW I always do.

It's no problem.

Ok I thought there could be a problem due to one reducing or eliminating the effects of the other

It may, but it's mild.

I take my caffeine 30-45 min before my NO product, it seems to eliminate the contradictory effects. I used to take them simultaneously, and noticed a slight reduction in vasodilation.

caffeine will actually help potentiate the effects of an NO product, in that it increases cellular cAMP levels, which allows for a potent vasodilatory response in smooth muscle (which makes up blood vessels), and green tea inhibits COMT, which breaks down norepinephrine- so the cumulative effect will actually increase vasodilation, not vasoconstriction
