NitroVasc Boost 78.6 g (.173 lb or 2.77 oz) Berry Flavored by Life Extension
Product Details
Your vascular endothelium produces nitric oxide, which in turn promotes blood flow and circulatory health. But endothelial nitric oxide production declines over time. We formulated NitroVasc™ Boost to promote nitric oxide production and support endothelial health.1,2
An L-arginine formula with staying power
L-arginine is an amino acid that can be made into nitric oxide by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase in the endothelium and elsewhere.3 This enzyme encourages nitric oxide production and helps support healthy circulation. But regular L-arginine doesn’t stay in your blood very long.4
That’s why our formulators chose Nitrosigine®, an innovative complex of the amino acid L-arginine and silicate: it stays in the bloodstream longer than standard arginine preparations, making it a great choice for promoting vascular health.4,5
Clinical research studies
In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, a one-time dose of this arginine-silicate complex helped maintain flow-mediated dilation—a process used to measure circulatory health.2
During a different randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, healthy volunteers took 1,500 mg a day of arginine-silicate complex directly before exercise for four days. For the group taking the arginine-silicate combo, salivary nitric oxide scores were significantly higher post-exercise than those taking the placebo.1
NitroVasc™ Boost vs. regular arginine supplements
Many popular arginine supplements use a form of this amino acid called arginine hydrochloride. A randomized, double-blind trial showed that this form doesn’t provide the same blood plasma concentrations of L-arginine as the L-arginine-silicate complex in NitroVasc™ Boost:
Participants got either arginine hydrochloride or the arginine-silicate complex. The arginine-silicate group measured statistically significant improvements in plasma arginine (that’s arginine levels in the blood) one, two, three and even six hours after ingestion, while the arginine hydrochloride group only showed a blood-arginine boost for the first hour.4
Berry-flavored powder
NitroVasc™ Boost comes in a berry-flavored powder for convenient use in pre- or post-workout drink mixes, protein shakes or your favorite beverage. Each scoop delivers approximately 1,500 mg of this arginine-silicate combo, an equal or greater amount taken than in the above studies.
