Nitric Pro – For Fast Relief from Arterial Stiffness
In 1992 the prestigious American scientific journal “Science” named Nitric Oxide (NO) “Molecule of the Year”. Why the high acclaim for such a molecule? Well, since the discovery of the biological functions of Nitric Oxide in the 1980’s, scientists have realised that they are dealing with a molecule that although classed as a simple molecule, is anything but simple in terms of its effects on the human body. In fact Nitric Oxide has caused such a stir in the scientific community, that it has even led to the inauguration of a Nitric Oxide Society and the publication of journal devoted entirely to it. And some 20 years or more after the initial discovery, research into Nitric Oxide and it effects continues at a fairly frenetic pace with over 300 research papers a year still being published!
So just what is Nitric Oxide and what does it do particularly in relation to the problem of arterial stiffness?
Nitric Oxide is a chemical compound – a molecule that consists of one atom of nitrogen and one atom of oxygen. It is known as a gaseous signalling molecule and is used by the body to communicate with other cells in the body.
The reason that so many scientists are interested in Nitric Oxide lies in the fact that Nitric Oxide has been found to be of critical importance in a whole array of different but vital bodily processes in areas as diverse as neuroscience, physiology and immunology. One area that’s of particular interest in terms of cardiovascular health is the role that Nitric Oxide plays in helping to control blood flow and blood pressure and its ability to help soften arteries.
Nitric Oxide has such positive benefits for cardiovascular health because it acts as a vasodilator. It dilates blood vessels by relaxing the smooth muscle lining of blood vessel walls (the endothelium) which in turn improves blood flow throughout the body and is also a key factor in the regulation of blood pressure. In fact, Nitric Oxide is such a successful vasodilator, that in some sources it is not referred to as Nitric Oxide but as “Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor” or “EDRF”. By having such beneficial effects on your cardio vascular system, Nitric Oxide can help to keep your arteries soft. And if there is one thing that experts can agree upon, it is the importance of preventing stiffening of the arteries if the risk of developing cardio vascular disease is to be reduced.
Nitric Pro has been specifically designed to enhance and deliver a strong release of Nitric Oxide within the body. In order to produce Nitric Oxide, your body breaks down an amino acid called Arginine. Each scoop of Nitric Pro contains 3500mg of Arginine, along with other natural ingredients that are known to support and enhance its role.
By providing more of the building blocks required to make Nitric Oxide and by stimulating NO release, Nitric Pro can help you lower your risk of developing cardio vascular diseases. In particular Nitric Pro can help to:
Lower blood pressure and normalize high blood pressure conditions
Lower serum levels of cholesterol and prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Once oxidised, cholesterol becomes sticky which can lead to the formation of plaque in artery walls
Improve blood flow by acting as an anticoagulant and stopping blood platelets from clumping together
Soften arteries
And Nitric Pro acts very quickly. Tests have shown that within just one hour of taking Nitric Pro, arterial stiffness can be lowered. This makes Nitric Pro ideal for those who need to obtain significant relief fast.
Nitric Pro is a powder that can be mixed into water or milk (using the supplied measuring scoop) for a pleasant tasting drink. It should be noted that Nirtic Oxide provides temporary relief in terms of improving the stiffness of arteries and that as its effects wear off situations tend to return to “as before.” However it is possible to take Nitric Pro on a regular basis (e.g. a scoop/ drink before each meal three times a day). What’s more if one is truly concerned about arterial stiffness then Nitric Pro can help to “take the pressure off” whilst incorporating other nutrition such as Cardio Pro and lifestyle changes to improve long term arterial condition.
