Nicotine Precompetition

[01dragonslayer]

Nicotine can become a very interesting supplement for the final stages of a competition or in a short cutting phase for different reasons.

It performs a function of mimicking Acetylcholine, causing an increase in catecholamines such as dopamine and adrenaline, its effects are similar to those of a drug such as clenbuterol or stimulants such as caffeine and Yohimbine.

Pros​

• Basal metabolic rate increases.
• Increases the oxidation of fatty acids and glucose.
• It exerts a strong nootropic effect thanks to mimicking acetylcholine, improving attention or training capacity.
• It decreases your appetite, which can be helpful in avoiding pre-competition cravings.
• Increases LH levels.
• It causes an anti-inflammatory reaction thanks to the mediation of cytokines.
• It generates a lower degree of tolerance than other stimulants, therefore a short-term progressive increase would not be necessary to continue enjoying its benefits.

Cons​

• It is addictive.
• Increases heart rate.
• Blood pressure increases.
• Causes a rebound effect on hunger.
• Reduces testosterone if its use is chronic.
