Product Description
Nitric oxide benefits the body in many ways including supporting vasodilation, circulation and heart health. It also supports:
- Sexual health in men and women
- Brain health
- Exercise performance
- Healthy blood pressure
How do the ingredients in NITRO support the natural production of nitric oxide in humans?
There are two main pathways in which nitric oxide is produced naturally in the body:
-
The first is via L-citrulline, a non-essential amino acid found in some wholefoods. Once ingested, L-citrulline acts as an L-arginine precursor that is further converted to nitric oxide by a reaction catalysed by NO synthase.
-
The second is by consuming foods that contain high levels of nitrate (beetroot powder is one of the best sources of nitrates) which are converted to nitric oxide both in the stomach and also via certain bacteria in the oral cavity including the tongue.
NITRO contains L-citrulline along with high nitrate beetroot (standardised to 400mg nitrates per dose), so that both pathways are utilised. Cordyceps mushroom extract has also been included as it contains adenosine which supports nitric oxide production.
To maximize the opportunity to support nitric oxide production via the mouth and salivary glands, take small mouthfuls of the nitro formula (at the recommended daily dose) and swish the juice around your mouth a few times before swallowing (continue to swallow any saliva that is produced afterwards). This allows for maximum exposure of NITRO's ingredients to the bacteria present in the oral cavity which support the process.
N.B - Some mouth wash and tooth paste products may inhibit the growth of beneficial nitric oxide producing bacteria.
