» Glucosamine

By Ian Robertson, C.P.T. | Published 08/22/2006 | Supplements | Unrated

The way caffeine works is that it increases the rate of fatty acid metabolism and decreases the rate of carbohydrate metabolism especially during aerobic exercise. However, if abused, several serious symptoms could arise. Some symptoms include hypertension, slowed heart rate, gastrointestinal distress, and dehydration since caffeine serves as a diuretic and forces one to excrete more fluid than normal.
