What if I told you that moderate use of Nicotine may actually help with your bodybuilding program… Would you be surprised ?
Well it can!
Nicotine has similar benefits to caffeine in terms of increasing mental focus, energy, appetite suppression, and feelings of alertness.
Nicotine is actually a good drug, but has been associated with a poor delivery system (i.e. smoking cigarettes). But if you consume pure isolated nicotine in the form of nicotine gum, nicotine sprays, nicotine patch, or nicotine lozenges you can get the pure form of the drug without the dangerous side effects of smoking cigarettes.
And as far as safety is concerned, pure nicotine is about on par with caffeine in terms of the “Risk To Reward” ratio. Like any drug, there are side effects if it’s abused. However, when used in moderation it can be safely used as a “Smart Drug” nootropic to help increase mental sharpness, focus, cognitive function, and energy levels.
