Official title
Effects of Nitrosigine on Flow-Mediated Dilation Among Young Adults
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Many athletes seek to increase their plasma (blood) nitric oxide content prior to exercise in order to augment vasodilation. Increased vasodilation during exercise, especially high intensity resistance training, allows for more blood flow to muscle tissues, which may give the athlete benefits such as increased work capacity and acute muscle hyperemia, which is commonly referred to as muscle pump. Pre-workout supplements are typically taken 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to the onset of exercise, so the current investigation seeks to determine if citrulline malate or nitrosigine can effect vasodilation within 1 hour of supplementation, and if so, which supplement is more effective. Based on previous findings, we hypothesize that a certain exercise intensity needs to be present for citrulline malate and nitrosigine to have an effect, so a change may not be observable at rest.
