Vital Choice Healthstore's recommendation for better blood pressure

By Mike Ventresca, Vital Choice Healthstore

In 1998, a Nobel Prize was awarded for the discovery of nitric oxide (NO), a gas produced in the body that can regulate immune, bone, brain, lungs and heart activity. Today, I’d like to focus on one of the major ways NO enhances health, called vasodilation, as well as share how it’s helped me.

Vasodilation is the relaxing and expanding of blood vessels. When blood vessels relax and expand, your blood flows more effectively. This can bring a whole host of benefits, including reduced blood pressure and risk of heart disease, better athletic performance and improved sexual function.

The body uses three compounds to produce nitric oxide: nitrates (found in vegetables like beets, arugula and some fruits), and the amino acids l-arginine and l-citrulline (found in meat, dairy and fruits).

A quick word on beet supplements. If you’re using a beet supplement to increase your nitric oxide, be sure to look for the amount of nitrates on the label. While beets can be a good source of nitrates, the amounts, and thus results, can vary widely.

My favorite product and the one I take daily is M3 from Bionox. This comprehensive formula provides a combined seven grams of l-arginine and l-citrulline, with a potent blend of vegetables, fruits and herbs, as well as vitamins D3 and K2 to maximize assimilation and nitric oxide production. Personally, after taking M3 for roughly six weeks, I have seen a dramatic reduction in my systolic blood pressure, something I have struggled with for years. If you’d like to learn more, please stop in today.
