Caffeine Pills...

Are they really bad for you?

I used to drink energy drinks but i didnt like the sugar or aspartame in it that much. It was making me gain weight.

So when i work out or box i take a caffeine pill instead of the energy drink.

Are they bad for you? i only take one like 2-4 times a week. Says as much as one cup of coffee worth of cafeine on the bottle.

A lot of simple carbs will do that.

IMO the only thing bad about them is the possibility of adrenal burnout. if you ever plan to box amatuer or pro, you might want to avoid stimulants as much as possible, your bodies ability to produce adrenalin when you need it most could be at risk. one pill 2-4 times a week probably isnt going to get you close, just keep your stimulants in check

I believe that you can become desensitzed to caffiene , it'll eventually stop working for you, Gotto go off it for a week at a time every month to keep it working,most diet drugs are this way ,G
