Nitricycle
Supplement to promote healthy vasodilation and blood pressure while enhancing cognitive function.
Supplement to promote healthy vasodilation and blood pressure while enhancing cognitive function.
Nobel Prize-winning research has led to a deeper understanding of the important role played by the simple molecule nitric oxide (NO) which is known to influence many of our most basic health processes, including cognitive learning, immune function, and healthy blood vessel tone.
Dr. Peter D'Adamo:
"Studies of NO release are hampered by the short half-life of the molecule. Depending on the particular tissue it interacts with, the molecule may remain intact for only a few fractions of a second. However, it is this ephemeral quality that makes NO the outstanding signaling molecule that it is. This was best indicated by the Society of American Chemists, who proclaimed NO its 'Molecule of the Year' for 1992. "
In our bodies, nitric oxide functions as a signaling molecule that may:
- Influence cognitive function
- Help maintain blood pressure levels that are already normal
- Promote healthy immune and nervous system response
Studies show that consuming beetroots can raise nitric oxide levels. When we eat nitrates from plants, our body converts them to nitric oxide, which has been shown to have several benefits, such as regulating blood pressure and improving circulation. Beetroots do this due to their being a rich source of nitrates. However, the effects only last for several hours following their consumption, and the effects are often only seen in healthy subjects.
Dr. Peter D'Adamo:
"Evidence suggests that consuming beetroot and beetroot products while taking a targeted NO enhancing supplement produce the greatest results with exercise conditioning, immunity, and cardiovascular health. "
Beets are a very useful food in the Blood Type Diets and are one of the few foods rated either ‘beneficial’ or ‘neutral’ for all ABO secretor and non-secretor types. Beetroot supplementation appears to be generally safe, with few reported adverse effects.
Dr. Peter D'Adamo:
"I formulated Nitricycle by blending together botanicals with the amino acid L-Arginine which is an essential precursor of nitric oxide. This unique blend helps to maintain healthy blood vessel tone thus making it popular for athletes and exercise enthusiasts. There is some evidence that blood types B and AB may benefit more from Nitricycle although it is good for all types."
