In 1998, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to three American scientists for their discovery of how the endothelium converts the semi-essential amino acid L-Arginine into nitric oxide. Referred to by many as 'The Miracle Molecule', nitric oxide is a signalling molecule - that is to say, nitric oxide causes specific functions to occur in the bloodstream.
For over 100 years, nitro-glycerin has been used for temporary relief of chest pain or angina. Why it worked was a mystery until three scientists, Robert F. Furchgott, PhD, Louis J Ignarro, PhD, and Ferid Murad, MD, PhD received the 1998 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine for their discoveries concerning ‘Nitric Oxide as a Signaling Molecule in the Cardiovascular System.’
The mystery was a simple molecule-Nitric Oxide. It is simple, yet so effective that it is now referred to as 'The Miracle Molecule'. Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that was earlier considered a pollutant. It is now understood that this short-lived gas is vital for cardiovascular health. It is produced by the single-cell thick inner lining of your arteries called the endothelium. The complicated process involves and has been shown to be crucial in circulatory health.
The discovery by Dr. Salvador Moncada that endothelium-derived nitric oxide is made from the amino acid L-arginine tied it all together. This led to a massive amount of research being done on nitric oxide and L-arginine, which is now approaching 200,000 published medical studies. Studies have shown that nitric oxide has a positive effect on blood pressure and blood flow, and improves the flexibility of the blood vessels.
When the endothelium is healthy, it produces a sufficient amount of nitric oxide. However, ageing, illness, genetics, and a lack of physical activity significantly lowers the production of nitric oxide. Supplementing with L-Arginine greatly improves
Three benefits of Nitric Oxide to your vascular health are
It causes the smooth muscle of the vascular wall to relax. The result is vasodilation (opening of the arteries), allowing for greater blood flow into the tissue and organs. This typically helps in bringing High lood Pressure back into a normal range in a natural way
Nitric Oxide keeps blood platelet cells from sticking together. This helps in naturally lowering the chances of you suffering from strokes and heart attacks
At sufficiently high levels, the Nitric Oxide will initiate a reparative mechanism to help heal the damage done to the endothelium to help maintain its ability to properly produce Nitric Oxide. The reparative process also helps prevent plaque formations and calcification, which accounts for approximately 74% of Cardiovascular Disease cases.
Factors like stress, high blood pressure, high sugar levels, LDL or bad cholesterol, and nicotine, contribute directly to the damage of the endothelium. This damage significantly decreases Nitric Oxide production, whilst increasing the risk for strokes and heart attacks, as well as other cardiovascular health concerns.
Unless you are actively nourishing the endothelium to enhance its ability to properly produce Nitric Oxide, this damage will continue to occur. ProArgi-9+ has been infused with more vitamins and minerals, making your dose of ProArgi-9+ much more effective in your pursuit of optimal health.
