Explain Caffeine in Supplements
I have always enjoyed caffeinated supplements like Zipvit, Gu, Hammer, etc.
I started thinking about it, and caffeine is a constrictor, so why is it considered good to have while you are exercising? I know it gives you an adrenaline boost and such, but it seems counterproductive.
Explain?

since the caffeine increases blood pressure and heart rate, perfusion of blood to the organs will be greater. meaning that your muscles and organs are getting blood faster.
however, there is a crash will caffeine.
