Are Nitric oxide supplements safe for teens?

I have no reason to believe they're not, but I thought I'd get your opinions.

Diesel Nutrition NOS Precursor, specifically.

Thanks in advance.

Doctor J, why would a teen be taking this? Well I have a bit of disposable income and would like to maximize my weight lifting experience safely, hence the question.

Are you asking about L-Arginine supplements? L-Arginine is the amino acid that is converted into Nitric Oxide by the enzyme Nitric Oxide Synthase.

In reasonable amounts (3 to 6 grams per day) L-Arginine is safe. But, why would a teen be taking this?

I have never seen a scientific study suggesting that increased levels of NO improve responses to weight lifting. The BEST things you can do are: 1) learn proper weight training techniques, and 2) eat a balanced, healthy diet - which very, very few people do.

as long as you don't have a pre-existing heart condition and don't exceed recommended doses; you should be fine.
