Chocolate as vasodialator?


Recommended Posts

On another thread, someone mentioned that a reason a lot of bodybuilders scarf down chocolate before a pose down is because it is a good vasodialator. Is this because of the cocoa? the cocoa butter? the combo of those two and a sweetener?

 

And if it's the cocoa (maybe in combo with some form of sugar), then would a chocolate soy or rice milk be a good pre-workout drink, that would help the body transport more nutrients (blood and oxygen) to the working muscles and remove metabolic waste products (like lactic acid) because vasodialation would improve circulation.

 

Or not?
