Nitric Oxide is the Miracle Molecule
There are many misconceptions about Nitric Oxide.If you've heard of it, you probably think of the workout products featuring l-arginine. But it has a much higherpurpose: Nitric Oxide (NO for short)is one of the most critical molecules for cardiovascular health. The discovery of its function was awarded a Nobel Prize back in 1998!NO isnaturally produced in the lining of our arteries and maintains proper circulation. And of course, circulation is related to every system in our bodies. Without it, you have low energy, sexual dysfunction and a host of cardiovascular risks such as stroke, high blood pressure and even heart attack. Interestingly, we lose our ability to produce Nitric Oxideas we age. In fact, by the time we are 40, we are producing about half of what our bodies need. So how can we restore Nitric Oxide production, thus healthy circulation? There are 3 ways: diet, exercise and supplements.
Nitric Oxide From Diet
Many leafy greens such as arugula, spinach and beet root as well as herbs such as hawhtorn have extremely high Nitric Oxide potential. Regardless of your age, these foods can increase production of Nitric Oxide in your body.
Nitric Oxide From Exercise
When your body needs more oxygen, as in a workout, your arteries automatically produce more Nitric Oxide to enhance circulation. Unfortunately, since this involves production in the lining of your arteries (the endothelium), this Nitric Oxide inputbecomes less effective the older you get.
Nitric Oxide From Supplements
The problem with l-arginine, which is the active ingredient in most Nitric Oxide supplements, is that adults over 40 can't convert it to Nitric Oxide. Which is why thebodybuilding products oftenwork really well for young healthy people, but are not efficacious for the older population and for those at risk for cardiovascular disease.
We at Neogenis Labs have introduced a new product called Neo40 Daily that uses a different Nitric Oxide pathway to naturally increase production www.neogenis.com
